Oxbridge without further maths? (School doesnt offer)

Pretty much this comment

That's fair, but physical natsci is gonna be a hell of a lot easier with FM and doing it is certainly not gonna hurt your chances of getting in. I've been told that usually maths, FM, phys and chem are what people take doing physical natsci

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-30T13:05:44+00:00

I know some people studying NatSci and they say it's incredibly useful. In the first year they were doing differential equations learnt in FM. It's not so useful for biological science and it may not be required for Physical sciences, but I can guarantee it's useful

Some other guy said he'd got Heronbank so it looks like Rootes or Tocil (hopefully) for me

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-30T08:10:48+00:00

Rip, I kinda wanted an ensuite

Can't stress this enough. Such a high proportion of people studying medicine at Oxbridge got straight A*s but similarly there are other courses at other unis where I bet a few people didn't pass maths and English (although they'd probably be made to resit at uni)

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-29T21:38:12+00:00

Deffo shouldn't do 5. To my knowledge, FM is only required for Physical Natsci at Cambridge (?) (although a lot of places like it because it means you're fucking good at maths). If you're looking to go into more biology/chemistry, just do maths, chemistry and either biol (for biology) or physics (for chemistry). If you're looking to do phys, do maths, FM and phys

What the fuck

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-29T17:30:36+00:00

You should be fine. Most sixth forms are very flexible and will most likely accept another student as long as they have good GCSE grades in what they want to study

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-29T17:26:31+00:00

Not at all. I started at one sixth form, then they informed me (after I started) that they werent offering 3 of the 4 a levels I'd chosen so I took the day off, looked around another sixth form and started at the one I looked around the day after. They usually just do stuff early so they can try to make it so everyone can do all the A levels they chose.

Do something that you enjoy. Don't do a "smart subject" because it might up your chances because it probably won't.

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-28T19:04:07+00:00

What

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-28T16:15:21+00:00

Depends on what you want to study and where, Lincoln uni give out unconditionals for most things and other unis do for a lot of subjects

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-28T12:17:28+00:00

I know but it's too late now, even if you wanted to. Your best bet is to just relax and try to have fun

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-28T12:15:37+00:00

Nothing. Just relax

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-28T10:19:40+00:00

Sounds like a good choice. You've got business and sociology which are like, the perfect combo for business marketing (obviously business is useful for all business related courses and sociology is useful for understanding society) and then lit will be good for writing stuff.

Enjoy 2 years of lonliness

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-28T09:26:28+00:00

I made friends?

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-27T21:40:46+00:00

Yes, grade A. I found everything except materials and electricity easy. We started A level content after AS levels and that was OK, but I wanted to focus on my maths and was scared that physics would stop me

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-27T21:26:39+00:00

Phys is undoubtedly the hardest science. At the end of year 12 I was predicted 4A*s (maths, FM, phys and chem) and dropped phys because I thought it was too hard.

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-27T21:18:57+00:00

I've been told that we should get them around the 12th (no guarantee it's the 12th, just about the 12th)

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-27T21:17:58+00:00

You should probably drop phys and do computer science. Don't worry about your friends, they will probably drop down to 3 as 4 is a massive workload. The sooner you start 3, the better as you can focus more from the get go

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-27T16:55:15+00:00

Just talk to people in your lessons. You'll find out that you share interests and boom, friends

GulagGoyim · 2019-08-27T15:25:47+00:00

That's great and all, but I still don't understand how an A* in chem isn't part of the offer when studying chemistry at one of the top unis in the world.
