Well done, Abi. I hate having too many options as I find it difficult to make up my mind. :confused: I am sure you will make the right choice though.Quote:

I took a few days to decide which offers I wanted to accept before telling UCAS. I got four offers and an interview. I initially wanted to go to UCLAN but I changed my mind the more I thought about it.
There's so much to consider when making the choice like the course, location, accomodation, social life etc. I think I've made the right choice, just hope I get the points.
Good luck with your studies, I am sure you will do great.Quote:

I know exaclty how you feel and would not swap back to making that decision for anything.
At the end of the day most people make the right choice. It is a much smaller number than you think who chance course or uni.
My mates at Salford and Really enjoys it and my cousin loves Aston, but he lives at home.
I think I'm going to take a gap year. Probably in Australia...if I get a working holiday permit I can do harvest work, then go backpacking :)
I'll defer the university course so I can always change my mind..Southampton and Brighton are my favourites at the moment.
Well i've narrowed it down;
Bristol
Liverpool
Cardiff
Warwick
Lancaster/Newcastle
Now to get the grades to get it.....!!
Oooo what are you going to be doing Layne?
Psychology :) We are appyling in like 4 months :eek: scary stuff, i neeed to register for open days!
oooo Very scary, that sounds interesting thoug
Psychology is very competitive apparently.Quote:

I'm wishing I'd applied for psychology and sociology now... I've just had so much change recently I've worked out what I want to do... but I know I'd kick myself if I didn't do French and German, so I'll do that first then go back and do a Psychology and Sociology degree!
Yeh psychology is very competitive, it leads to alot of careers so alot of people do it :) At one of the Uni's i looked at (think it was Bath) there was only 75 for the course! I pretty much need 3 A's to do the course :eek:
Hmmm I dont sure if I'll get the grades to do Zoology, does anyone esle know of some good courses with animals and that kind of stuff
These are all the course/subject areas that UCAS have on animals.
I want to do forensics but the branch of forensics I want to do is limited. As far as I know there's only two places in the UK that do it, Dundee and Livepool and they both only take on 25 a year so I guess I just have to keep my fingers crossed
What sort of forensics is it?
Still don't know what I actually want to do... I was considering English Language but now I wouldn't mind doing a Theatre course as I really enjoy the theory I do in Drama.. I really don't know though and I must decide soon!
Have you looked at a joint honours or major/minor degree?
I looked to see if they did English Language and Theatre Studies together, but I can't find anything.
Glasgow and London Met do English language studies with theatre studies. There are a few more english and theatre courses here.
I didn't look very well did I. :o Thank you.Quote:

I think the thread needs to come into use once more
Im really struggling with what to do.
I like the idea of the Zoology course but everywhere I look it needs at least a B in biology
Ive also looked at Animal Behaviour and Sceince, Ive even looked at Wildlife conservation, and in these ones in most places go on points and ask for a C in biology.
They all sound really interesting, I just have no idea what to do! :(
That sounds interesting Abbie. Where are you looking at to do the courses?
I am going to apply to do English. I have looked at Cardiff, Manchester, Portsmouth, Bangor, Glamorgan and Nottingham.. I need an A in English to get into Cardiff or Manchester, so will put one of those unis as my first choice.. I need to go to some open days though and soon! I am planning to head up to Bangor in the next month or so to have a look around.
Ive looked all over.
I'll start with the prospectus I have: Bangor, Duhurm, Sheffield, Liverpool and Plymouth.
Ive also looked at Cumbria, Kent, Leeds and a few other places. Plymouth is looking good at the moment, I just dont know.
The problem is with the course Im looking at, the title of the degree varies all the time so its like if I applied I would be a applying for like 3 differnt courses if that makes sense.
Ahh, its so confusing , I just have no idea what to do!!!
I don't want to go far from home :(
So the only 2 Im definately applying for is Caerleon and Cardiff... in that order. I ahven't really looked at any others yet which I should do lol
I'm looking at doing psychology :)
So far i've picked Cardiff, Liverpool, Bristol and Manchester.
I'm in need of a 5th, i'm thinking Nottingham as apparently its a really nice uni and its quite good for psychology.
Cardiff want 3 A's, which i doubt i'm going to get, but the course sounds amazing - its one with a professional year placement which would really help as i could get a really good placement and i need 2 years placement to qualify as a psychologist.
This uni business is so scary :|
It is sooo scary isnt it?
Which one in manchester, cos theres 3?
i go to kent, didnt realise it did a course on animal things though!Quote:

Its one of the courses Im seriously considering
I'm considering Birmingham, Reading, Canterbury, East Anglia (norwich), Herefordshire, Brighton and Bristol.
East Anglia is my top at the moment. You can choose to have a year in Austrilasia D I'd love to do that! But I need ABB-BBB. *Cue sucking up to science teacher to up my predicted grade* (I have BBC at the moment) :lol:
Forgot to add, I'm going to do Biological sciences. Because I can do it, and it's a wide industry :p
Oooo Biological sciences
The thing is, Ive looked at the course, just not the career side :p
i never knew they did that here, is it a new course do you know? my housemate from my first year left to go to liverpool to do something to do with wildlife, which was completely different to the course he was doing here! kents nice though, im guessing its the canterbury campus the course is held at?Quote:
