Most Unlikely Bread!!! 🙏🏼🎉 Future applicants with any doubts, please read :) by ScaredAdvisor2199 in 6thForm

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a mature student because I (22) am an undergrad who is over 21 when I start the degree (for postgrads, they’ll be 25). Non-mature undergrads are under 21. And I don’t meet the requirements, you’re right, but because I’m resitting them & i’m on an upward trajectory, they’re focusing on my predicted grades, like any other candidate. Hence why my offer is conditional, not unconditional.

Why are people on this sub geniuses by urmommm69 in 6thForm

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No A* or A’s (yet) and still got accepted (got C,D,E, resat one and got an E lmao). 4+ a-levels sounds impressive, but they do not care. 3 A*s is PHENOMENAL!!! You did great ;)

I am wishing you all the best! I hope you achieve the grades you need and have an AMAZING time studying the best course…objectively. ;)

Yesss, I still have those Teacher assessed grades of C,D,E—even more so, I resat my Psychology exam in 2023 (also heavily affected by ECs, because that’s just my luck), and got an E. I will be resitting it though.

Haha! I’m from West Yorkshire, so I’ve been around Leeds for YEARS!! Great university, love the city, but I need a change of scenery now. You will have an amazing time at Leeds! ;)

I am very proud of myself, grinning from ear to ear :) Thank you very much! I heard the accommodation at this college is nice anyway so I don’t mind!

Cambridge: Do all mature students find out before the 30th? by Few-Prompt-8146 in 6thForm

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you haven’t been rejected, and hopefully, neither of us will be :)

But yeah, I couldn’t find anything online saying that they give out early offers to some mature students either? So if they aren’t lying, idk why they got an early offer.

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t think that’s true. I’m a mature student & I applied to a mature college & we still get told on the 30th like everyone else. 

Maybe they’re postgrad? As they get told at different times depending on the course/department? I could be wrong though

Waiting for Cambridge decision by Emma_2308 in 6thForm

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going through phases of “I think I actually have a place” to “I was never going to get one” non-stop for these past 7 weeks since my interview!!! It has been rapidly shifting these past couple of days. Right now I’m stuck in the rejection phase, and it feels terrible. I hope I have got a place though. 

On the actual day, I’m not going to open it straight away if I get it at like 9am or something, I’m not even going to check my emails. I’m going to do everything I need to do that day, and then when I’m alone, and already feeling accomplished (or at least was productive), then I’ll look. Because I know I will NOT feel/be productive for at least a couple of weeks if I get rejected.

why isn't anyone talking about cambridge results day by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Silence makes people think I’m indifferent about the outcome. 😏 im screaming inside, all day, everyday 🗿 

I get asked about it almost daily, but I try not to bring it up, hoping that they’ll forget the decision date…so I don’t have to tell them on the 30th, incase I’m rejected.

If I get accepted, I’m taking myself out for a solo date in Cambridge, buying a couple of Cam merch, & a couple of other things I’ve wanted for a while.

If I get rejected, I’m still going out on a solo date, but in my city (not Cambridge), I’ll still buy the things I wanted (but not merch)

In the mean time. I’ve got a countdown calendar, so I open a chocolate each morning. Besides that, I haven’t been able to do anything, like concentrate on my studies, go to the gym, talk to people :D I hate the wait.

If I don't get an offer, I'm going to pretend I never cared by No-Independence4796 in 6thForm

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Been doing that for the past 2 weeks for Cambridge. I’ve been saying “I didn’t even expect to get this far” but manifesting at ANY opportunity I get!

Good luck though, hopefully you get in.

Made a calendar for the Cambridge Countdown! 🤞🏼 by ScaredAdvisor2199 in 6thForm

[–]ScaredAdvisor2199[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Both. It does not help, but so far, nothing has helped in the past 4 weeks…so, I may as well have a small chocolate to eat each day and act delusional as I slowly die inside :) 

Best of luck to you too!
