I got an offer from York!!!!
So damn pleased! I just checked my UCAS application online and York St John have offered me a place to do English Literature!!! I'm so damn chuffed, admittedly it is only a conditional offer, but i only need 160 points, and thats pretty easy even with my shit History grades!!

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
------
And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war
So we can only get one chance can we take it
And we only got one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading.......like an old dream

cheers you two, Metal_redhead it means i have got a place in York university for next year!
@Elements - no that was my third reply. I got a conditional offer from Bath Spa for English Literature but they want two B's so thats a bit doubtful. And my application for Psychology at York was unsuccessful. I'm just happy because York is at the top of my list. Bath is about 3.5/4 hours away from here.

Re: I got an offer from York!!!!
its called tarrif points, every grade (A B C D E F U) has a certain number of points (except U which means ungraded, basically you've failed) and you need a certain number of points to get into a University
Alternatively they can ask for a certain grade, lik BB or BC, which is a little harder.

Re: I got an offer from York!!!!
It's weird, they switched to the tariff points system, yet all the unis still asked for grades instead. Easier I guess.

Or the wheels of bureaucracy move as notoriously slow as they always have.
Nevertheless, it seems a bit more straightforward than the Finnish application system, where I had to fill out two different applications to two different instances. To apply to exactly the same university and exactly the same subject.

Re: I got an offer from York!!!!
Congrats from me too Nicko, hope you'll do well there.
ECTS doesn't seem to be very relible, because you can only get either null or max points. I got grades along with ECTS on university.

Re: I got an offer from York!!!!
ECTS = European Credit Transfer System
Meaning that different universities throughout Europe use the same grading system. That way it is easier to study abroad for a year or so.
Just deal with it man, England sucks (i'm wondering if it was smart to post that)

The love between me and David is so intense that your foolish remarks have no effect whatsoever, you can't hurt me. I will always be in his heart (and he in mine), and there is nothing that you, nor anyone else, can say to change that.Elements wrote:
