I've made my choices too.. I'm withdrawing my application. I came to the conclusion I'm so not ready to go to Uni and now I want to do Speech Therapy I need Biology.. but I'm so used to the way my shcool etaches, that I don't learn by it.. so I'm finishing my A Levels and going to College to do Biology A Level... and will then go to Uni in 2 years, if I don't change my mind again during that 2 years that is lol

Good for you Kirsty you have to do what feels right and going to college first will be good grounding it also can broaden your choices.

have you made sure that the college you want to go to will allow you to only do 1 alevel? as some want you to do more than one so just make sure. also some colleges offer an A3 course in some subjects which means you can do the whole alevel in a year rather than 2 which you might want to look into. good luck

I dont understand the points thing and the requirements for certain places, i don't know the best course to go for (i want to do web design but there are so many different ones) not sure where to apply for, not sure if i want to move away from home either

as others have said after searching for the courses on ucas, pick the ones that sound good and go on the uni websites or order a prospectus, i found this gave more info and made it a lot easier to decide. the choice about moving away from home or not, only you can decide what you would rather do, go to uni open days and see what the campus and accomodation is like and think about whether you would like living really far from home or not. also do you mean applying to start in 2010?

That's a good idea. The main thing is that you're happy with your decision and you have some idea of what you want to do next. There's no rush, you've got the rest of your life ahead of you

I'd still recommend going to uni (for anyone) but it has to be at the right time for you and the right course. Otherwise it's just a waste of time and money.

You'll also already have UCAS points from these A levels which will stand you in good stead when you come to do your next application.

Good for you kirsty

Its good that your doing what you feel is right rather than just going through with it cos other people are going now, its good that you do whats important to you

I've put Aberystwyth as my firm choice. I visited and instantly fell in love with the place.

**DaVeyWaVey** · 24-06-2009, 18:40

I emailed the department and they sent a reply saying they can't see any problem with me changing my degree scheme, but I need to do it through my UCAS application.. I don't know how this works though

can anyone shed any light?

I might just wait until I get there in September and deal with it then, saying I enquired about it before by emailing the department.

Ring UCAS up and do it over the phone or email your UCAS leader at 6th form. I haven't a clue where you would be able to change the course online unless you withdraw your application and reapply (which I wouldn't suggest).

**di marco** · 24-06-2009, 19:44

yeh i agree with abigail, ring up ucas and ask them how to do it. its better than leaving it til the last minute. id have no idea how to go about changing it on ucas either
