Tonight I am awaiting tommorow, the day I discover whether or not I get to transfer to a nicer university. My current university tutor didnt get my reference done in time for a straight transfer, the deadline was missed by 12 hours so now I have to wait and see if there are any clearing places. Clearing being for people who are only just starting their course, not people who simply want to transfer onto the second year of the same course at a different university on which there are defiantely plenty of spaces. In short, I've been waiting since the first of July to discover my fate simply because my tutor is an idiot and because the admissions system is not designed to accomodate people who simply want to transfer. I'm a bit fed up and stressed out of my mind. Has anyone else had any similar experiences with this shambles of a university admissions system? Assuming anybody has any idea what i'm on about of course
there are bastards i must admit, also FUCK ME i wish it was 8am NAO, yeah they fucked me about a bit when i decided i changed my mind on a course and wanted to do something else. they also messed up my DSA reference even though i clicked it on there site... bastards. also i really badly get the feeling my college mucked up my grades. i will be very very displeased tommorow if i find they put the old grade to the exam board instead of my updated one, yeah my tutor forgot i did a hole extra unit to make up for me doing shit in the first year .... Good luck dont frit as badly as i am
Yay, someone understands! This is the second year I've been like this now, last year everyone was telling me i was fine for getting into medicine, so I only applied for medicine, nobody mentioned I should have a backup. Then the second year of my A levels, a clusterfuck of frankly devastating events caused my final grades to be a fair bit less than expected and indeed needed. Ended up spending all of my results day shouting at admissions tutors down the phone trying to get a clearing place on biomedical science instead. I got one eventually but it was awful. The only upside was when I almost reduced the admissions guy at university of surrey to tears after ranting at him for 20 minutes because he heard my grades, laughed and said "we want people who are better than that" Oh and good luck to you too
Good luck to everybody getting their results tomorrow! UCAS always has seemed total shit to me in all honesty. I've never got the benefits of it over just looking at the grades you get.
what uni you hoping to go to Hedgeyourbets? my first choose is Aberystwyth, then Portsmouth then every one else said im to shit to go lol
Just finished a year at University of westminster, hoping to end up at Royal holloway for the next two Last year I applied to Sussex, southampton and cardiff, there was another one but i forgot which one that was. I loved the look of aberystwyth, if they had had any clearing places on biomed last year, I would have gone there
Well it wasn't about results, it was whether or not they had any space left for me, which apparently they didn't. Ho hum such is life. Might i ask what you'll be studying?
