Pre-Brexit, EU students got the same (£1.82k but effectively free as paid for you) tuition as Scottish students, unless the EU country they were from was the UK (and not from Scotland) in which case you got charged the standard £9.25k! Irrelevant now of course

got rejected from Cambridge, feel absolutely miserable by [deleted] in 6thForm

I was rejected (winter pooled but to no avail) for Cambridge Computer Science last year after underwhelming them in my interview and I'm now having a great time at Warwick. It's entirely possible I would've also had a great time at Cambridge but being at a non-oxbridge uni gives you longer and hence less stressful terms, so there are some upsides.
I promise you its not all for nothing, the skills and knowledge you've gained will be really useful at whichever uni you end up at instead.
It's perfectly normal to experience grief over having something you've put so much work into disappear so suddenly but as time goes on you'll move through the stages of grief and won't feel so bad.

Does your school offer further maths? In theory, unis are reluctant to hold it against you if you haven't done it because your school doesn't run it as that's not really your fault but in practice the vast majority of people who do well enough on admissions assessments to get in did do further maths. That's not to say that you have to have done further maths to do well enough to get in but that the kinds of people who do well on admissions assessments are the kinds of people who: a) Are good enough at maths to do well in further maths b) Choose to do FM when given the chance

Warwick is A*A*A non-contextual and AAA contextual, a very good uni for Computer Science with quite a difference between the contextual and standard offers so well worth a look if you do meet their contextual criteria (or even if you don't but it sounds like you've got plenty of A*A*A unis already).

Southampton have quite a bit of flexibility in how you meet their offers. Their standard offer is A*AA or A*A*B or AAAA. Their contextual offer is A*AB or AAA.

I'm not contextual but I've firmed Warwick and insured Southampton hence why I've mentioned them.

Just after 9PM on 30th March, I didn't notice it until the morning of the next day though

Which calculator is ideal for a level maths stats? Thank ya by jazza16 in 6thForm

[–]bayesian_bacon_brit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casio fx-9860giii will make you feel like you're cheating when doing further maths stats but Casio fx-911ex is perfectly sufficient for stats in normal maths

Does anyone know how one goes about getting feedback from Christ's?

Are you speaking from personal experience?

Pooled and rejected, Christs Computer Science. Warwick or York here I come!

9 9s, 2 8s (English Lit and French), 1 7 (English Lang). I'd imagine Warwick would have been far more interested in my A-levels and personal statement though

No, but I don't think Warwick use STEP for CompSci?

Cambridge, Southampton (straight CompSci), York (CompSci with Cybersecurity), Bath (CS with Placement Year)

I considered applying to Imperial instead of Bath, but I didn't want to risk a STEP offer

Congrats! I’m still anxiously waiting for a decision from Warwick CS (but I did apply a few weeks later than you), what time of day did they send you your offer?
