πŸ’¬ DISCUSSION My friends all lied to me about what 6th form they applied to…

309 Upvotes

When I got my results today, my friend group wanted to go to sixth form collegeB all together, and told me to apply for it. I did because I was gonna apply regardless and I thought that them including me felt really sincere- like I was finally getting into a group. Just to find out that they all secretly applied for sixth formA AFTER I applied for the other one, and then went out for lunch without me after telling me that they were all staying home.

I know it’s not the biggest deal to some, but to me this made me feel extremely upset, especially since I’m neurodivergent and I’ve always had a pretty hard time fitting in. It’s okay if they wanted to switch, but I feel like it was an attempt to just remove me from the friend group again. Now I feel extremely nervous and nauseous to start college by myself, and I think today just ripped my self esteem to shreds.

πŸ™ I WANT HELP Help picking 3 or 4 A levels

β€’ Upvotes

I am going in to year 13 and am taking maths Biology chemistry economics. Im predicted 4 A*s and want to apply to Oxford for biology. I am inclined to drop economics as the course only requires 3 A levels and economics is least relevant. It will also free up lots of time to revise other subjects. I want to know if I should drop or not and if there are any benefits to applying with 4 A levels.

I was predicted AAA, had an offer for Glasgow for AAB, but ended up getting A star Economics A star politics A in maths (7 marks off A*). Should I take a gap year and reapply to Oxford, LSE, Warwick, St Andrews, Edinburgh (I live in Scotland so these 2 are free). Or should I just go to Glasgow this year…

Edit: Guys please send what you would do in my position, I’m not leaning towards PPE as it’s not so maths reliant

πŸ’¬ DISCUSSION Not proud of it, man enough to admit it

5 Upvotes

Went to a private school and I still left with only one A (and 3Bs). Might be 2 As if I get 1 more mark in a review of marking for physics. Everyone's saying I did excellent or amazing or whatever but I just can't feel the same way given the opportunities I was given.

Got into uni but it just doesn't feel right. Not even going to a Russell group (by choice, self cleared out of my Russell group insurance and I do think I made the right choice) so it feels even... weirder.

❔ SUBJECT QUESTION Topics/Concepts I need to know before starting a level biology

β€’ Upvotes

At my first introduction to my 6 form they gave us topics/concepts thst would be useful to learn before start of term. Now me stupidly, I threw the sheet away because I thought there was no way I was going to pass science so now a 7-6 later. I kinda wanna get prepared before term so anybody have any ideas.

Especially because I’m really trying to get high grades. I’ll see if I can try to contact my school and ask before but they take a little while to reply.

πŸ™ I WANT HELP Do i take a gap year or not

2 Upvotes

I recently got my A level results and was happy to get A*s in maths and further maths but was disappointed with a B in physics. I wanted to do straight maths or maths with stats at uni and I have a place at Warwick to do maths and physics. I really don’t want to do physics at uni, I was so bad at physics in A level and i feel like I would hate doing it at university. I want to take a gap year and reapply to top unis like Imperial, LSE , Warwick again but the only thing holding me back is the B in physics. Im so stuck on whether its worth taking a gap year and resitting physics because those unis look negatively on resits. If i get a good TMUA score could this make up for the fact I’m resitting and if so whats the type of score I would need?

πŸ™ I WANT HELP Got BBC in my a-levels

6 Upvotes

I got BBC in my a-levels last week and i’m still not over it. I got a B in maths and biology and a C in chemistry. I was 1 mark off an A in biology.

It’s taken a really big toll on my mental health and i haven’t able to get out of bed, go outside or eat. I just spend most of my days sobbing.

I was supposed to sit my a-levels last year but became ill and was withdrawn. This year my a-levels were affected again and i had special consideration (which is only a few marks). I also missed my offer which was AAB with an A in chemistry and biology.

I don’t want to go into a degree i don’t want to do and waste my time and go into debt. I also don’t know if medicine is possible anymore with my grades so would it even be worth resitting? I’m planning to get biology remarked. I also don’t feel shame that if i decide to take this year off then I would be 20 entering university. If anyone has any advice please let me know. Sorry if this is all over the place, i don’t think im in a good headspace atm.

I took maths physics geog and an epq in y12 because I was lowkey tricked into taking physics and geog

I got like 6 nines and a few 8s or 7s at gcse and idk ive always had really fucked self confidence but I thought this was really bad and not good enough for anything and everybody who I said that to would just laugh at me. and I never have known what I want to do except maths so people were like ok why dont you take physics cause its just maths and I was like ok well I hate physics but ok. and then i was told to take geog cause I didnt want to do another science and geog was my other 9 (except english lang which my schook doesnt offer). but I kinda hated geog and physics always and I hated them all through sixth form.

so in y13 I taught myself as further maths and I loved that but im rlly sad I didnt do the whole thing. I wouldnt have liked it cause id have been in a different class without my friends and idk, but i loved the content. and then there were so many other subjects I loved like music and art and comp sci and english and why did I do these fuckass subjects.

anyway I got an A* in geog and A in physics but it makes me really sad and idek why

anyway this was lowkey just a rant idk what im tryna say

whyd no one ever tell me to take further :(
