Abu Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 So future IB students, or people who are just crazy to hang around *cough* Elsa, Hien, *Graeme *cough*, what are your Uni plans? Or where are you accepted and attending?Right now, it's the Uni of Auckland. My plans are always perceptible to change though, so I dunno if that will, but maybe to Aussie land then. I need 26 points to enter surprisingly, but that's the minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterglow Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 There are so many universities that I'd like to go to but unfortunatley may not due to my predicted grades My main choice - the one that I reallllly want to go to is Manchester University. They want 33 points with 665 at HL. I fill all the requirement but the HL one. I have 655 *sobs* Kings College, St George, Brighton and others would be really cool though.

Ruan Chun Xian Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 University of New South Wales - BCommerce. They've just changed the whole Business faculty actually, it used to be called the Faculty of Commerce and Econ but now that they've merged with the Australian School of Management we're now called the Australian School of Business and just moved into a new building a couple of weeks ago. It's all pretty exciting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Lc~ Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 my friend's going to Manchester he did A-levels and his conditional was an AAB and he got an ACC instead and they still took him for a diff course though I am going to Loughbourgh University ranked number 1 for my course and a place I simply fell in love with through googling it so much! My conditional was 34 points overall, and I got a 36 so I met it after that I don't know, all I know is I'm not stopping till I get my PhD... where I get it form is beyond me though I did like an MA course at UCL so might go there if I'm lucky enough to get in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survivor Rob Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Well my first choice is cambridge but it depends if i get an offer and then get the points! I should be able to get the points offer but the interview....*shivers* , Well hopefully it will be fine. If not then I would probably go to Warwick or Durham.

Graeme Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 University of Bath. First they rejected me due to a B in IGCSE math. I complained. They reconsidered. They asked for 38 with 6 in everything. I got 42, 6 or more in everything. I won. They now kiss the ground I walk on. True story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yeah, I know. Sporting rivals. A classmate of mine applied for psychology at Bath as well as was rejected. She is now going to loughborough to study psychology there. I know at the time she was quite angry at me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Lc~ Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 err why was she angry at you?! it's not like you got her rejected I might take a class with her, I have to take social psychology as a contextual module I don't know how I'm going to do in that and yea we're sporting rivals if I make the volley team we might play against bath or something.. watch out I might stalk you lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm going to try for is some other Uni and try to transfer after the first or second year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Lc~ Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yo Elsa, Does a PhD do you any good for journalism/communications? Also, do all colleges need a personal statement as was described in the other section? it does me good because I want to teach at a Uni later on otherwise no it doesn't... when you start applying, check out what each Uni requires from you. Some Unis, like Purdue, would not require a PS but leave it up to you whether you'd liek to write one or not. My advice is if a Uni leaves it as an option, do it anyway! it's a way of making them know a little more about you! so what have you got to lose?! I know our school is **** at helping us with Uni stuff! so really if you want good help for Canada go to bridge Internaitonal basil, they were a counseling office for UK before, but this year they started helping out for Canada as well! so yea you'd get good help, and you only have to pay like 20 JDs for office fees when you finish everything, which is nothing compared to the constant help you're going to get! oh and check the PS advice thread stickied up on this forum HMSchocolate wrote it and it looks pretty useful!

Guest cl0ckw0rk0range Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I was thinking of UK or Japan, but now ive made up my mind to just apply to Canada.Most are unis in Ontario, and the rest are just random big unis. My college coounceller wanted us to come up with a list of unis we wanted to apply, and the application deadlines.... I have fifteen unis so far..FIFTEENSee, I dont know what I want to be yetBut I might want to do law (go to law school maybe?)And if I want to do law, it doesnt matter what I take for my first 2 years of uni (well at least in canada, i think)so... how am i supposed to narrow my search??I figure, I cant narrow them down until once i get my predicted grades.Any tips anyone?
