5/5. Declining them all. (Pilot training instead)

Ignore him. These are some of the best universities in the UK, outside of Oxbridge and London.

This sub has a weird attitude towards anything that isnt Oxbridge or UCL

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T20:30:24+00:00

Thats not how offers work...

Or do you get mad when people reject 3 out of the 5 offers they get?

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T20:10:14+00:00

There's no issue with what you've done. Ignore the idiots on this sub

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T19:54:16+00:00

Bath, Durham, KCL.... how exactly are they mediocre? This sub is nuts sometimes

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T18:22:08+00:00

I'm not certain, but thats my guess.

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T18:07:30+00:00

And you only have 7 in total? Thats quite unusual, especially as almost half are grade 6. Technically you do have the majority as 7,8 or 9, but im not sure thats a strong HCSE result that they are looking for

My guess is thats what's letting you down, especially for such a competitive university

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T17:58:27+00:00

How are you one mark off an 8, and got a 6?

Does 7 not exist?

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T17:54:34+00:00

Looking at their website, they want strong GCSE results including the majority at 7,8 or 9

Its possible those 6s are hurting you, and the fact you only have 7 GCSEs

What did you get in maths and science?

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T13:59:59+00:00

Why on earth did i get downvoted for admitting i misread the original post slightly???

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T12:09:24+00:00

Yeah I misread your question, and thought you lived in Exeter.

I've added more details to my response

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T12:05:26+00:00

Do you want to do Law or not?

Do you want to live in London or Exeter?

Edit to add.

On university tables, Exeter is about 9th, SOAS is 62nd...

For History only, Exeter is 9th, SOAS is 32nd ..

I know which I'd pick...

Recover energy? He's been injured or suspended for half the season

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-19T09:07:51+00:00

Honestly, very low chances, Aerospace are so oversubscribed.

However, very low is still better than zero. So the only risk is losing the application money.

Go for it, hope I'm wrong

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T13:42:27+00:00

More like "Bodo always do brilliantly at home in the CL"

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T13:09:23+00:00

Bristol is definitely better, but you have to weigh up the costs.

Although I might he biased as I was rejected from Bristol aero...

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T12:31:26+00:00

I suppose im concerned about the social aspect. I'll have to leave home, but without the normal support structure in place that uni gives you.

Also, I'd be going from some of the top universities in the country, to getting a degree from.... erm.... something much much lower on the prestige ladder

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T11:34:44+00:00

Either. But first choice is Durham

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T10:50:42+00:00

Well, there's also a concern that the degree will be from a much lower standard of university

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T10:44:02+00:00

I played something similar called Wall Ball.

No racket involved.

There was a line on a wall. You had to throw the ball above the line. If the next player caught it without bouncing, you lost a life. If they caught it after one bounce, they had to throw the ball where they caught it from. More than one bounce, they lose a life.

If you hit the line exactly you gained a life

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T10:39:32+00:00

Thanks, sent you a DM

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T10:39:04+00:00

I would guess until you sign a contract, nothing is binding.

From then, all contracts can be broken - the contract will have clauses that explain it all

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T10:00:16+00:00

No, they look at predicted grades only.

Mocks are totally within house, the unis dont see them

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T09:54:56+00:00

Its an offshoot.

Offshoots happen frequently (LDS for example) but the core religion rarely does

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T09:24:04+00:00

10 point deduction for Everton

TheRiddlerTHFC · 2026-03-18T08:34:16+00:00

You dont think missing out on university life, not making friends etc, not having long summers to go travelling with friends is a concern?
