They might as well have wrote "Dumbass" on my results.
Didn't get a single C.
I can blame it on my crappy teachers, though.

Wellp, I'll give you some news. I've been given a University place at St George's University of London to study Biomedical Science! Yaaayyy!
But no, it's a deferred entry. It's a guaranteed place for next year. At least I have a place, I guess.

Dammit guys you have a complex educational system and my god I wish our educational system was as awesome as yours. Ours is piss easy for most smart folk and pretty much f*cked up for newbies on the field.
Example:
Computing. Piss easy for me.
Making a godamn circuit on a breadbord. Why haven't I curled up and cried yet?
Also, English classes over here. Why are they still teaching us VERBS AND ADJECTIVES on COLLEGE (or similar equivalent on your education system)
Might as well show us Schoolhouse Rock

What'll worry you more is that I applied for Medicine and didn't get in. Actually it's probably more of a relief for you. Edit: Let Dr. Agdgdgwngo have a look at that for you  |

So I'm looking at university modules for computer science, I'm all like 'hey let's look at UCL's' and then I'm like 'holy KIPPERS this KIPPERS is the KIPPERSting awesomest KIPPERS I ever see KIPPERS be' and then I cried because their entry requirements are AAB.  So does offering head to the interviewer give me a better chance of getting in or what? |

So does offering head to the interviewer give me a better chance of getting in or what? Do the English not have SATs? Ew at getting into a college based entirely on grades. And oral reports. |

So does offering head to the interviewer give me a better chance of getting in or what? Do the English not have SATs? Ew at getting into a college based entirely on grades. And oral reports. I think A-Levels (the qualifications we take to gain entry to university) are similar to the advanced placement tests in the USA. I think most universities here offer places to USA students based on AP scores anyway, the university I was looking at in question says this on the issue for USA students: Except we get graded A*-E rather than 5-1. Basically a quick overview of how we apply to university is: We do the first year of our A-Levels (called AS-Levels), we get a predictions based on our results from our teachers which is then sent to universities. The universities will then (hopefully) give us an offer based on our predictions, and basically we have to meet that offer or they tell us where to stick it educationally. It gets pretty convoluted after that but I think you get the gist. Oh also we do have exams called SATs. They're the exams we take when we're about 13.  Or the short version: Not grade point averages, we get modular examination results. |
