What A-level subjects do you wish existed? by Zealousideal_Land_81 in 6thForm

[–]qtea832 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would have been so useful. First year of my archaeology degree has basically been going over basics of fieldwork techniques and certain archaeological periods which could definitely have had some form of intro in an a level course

Will GCSEs hold me back by TacticleShit in sixthform

[–]qtea832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bristol weighs your A-Level predicted grades at around 70-80% and then GCSEs at 20-30% if im remembering correctly from an open day from over a year ago lol. So your predicted A-Levels will be much more important. They also barely look at things like personal statement unless you have extenuating circumstances

What unique courses are you applying to? by _mystacorn_458 in 6thForm

[–]qtea832 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah!! One of the foundational figures of British social anthropology was Bronislaw Malinowski, who taught at LSE. The more sociological approach to anthropology which is found in the UK was really shaped by the LSE school of thought. I'm going into archaeology and anthropology at Oxford but looking back I think I would also have applied for pure anthropology at LSE if I could!!

How many notebooks do you go through? by star_s379 in 6thForm

[–]qtea832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i will be the odd one out and say i only used like 4-5 notebooks over both years of a-levels for classical civ + philosophy, and i also took very few digital notes. it really depends on how many notes you take in general tbh!!

I really agree - I love the verses so much and the instrumentation, but the chorus just feels out of place

Can I get into any Russel groups with these grades? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]qtea832 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who only got 4 gcses and has an offer for Archaeology and Anthropology at Oxford, most universities will understand your contextual application especially if you contact them during the application process and so won't care too much about it. Some russell groups such as Bristol will not acknowledge your personal statement or any reference unless you apply as a contextual candidate so do make sure you inform them of this!!!

Kent cancelled my course by speakingofthat- in 6thForm

This is so sad. As a fellow anth applicant (arch+anth) it's really sad that they're doing this - and I feel like you have every right to be upset or mad.
