You can take something from the fact that Critical Thinking and General Studies were both enormous wastes of his time, any University he looks at won't give a damn. They're more interested in results from real subjects and also how you do in the interview.

You should mention your TF2 skills in your interview, they will be impressed.

I think his offer was AAA to do Chemistry at Oxford but they specifically exclude taking into account General Studies and Critical Thinking as part of that AAA. I took G.Studs last year and got a D which was surprising considering I lost the effort to write but I am not bothered.

Indeed. He's no match for your leetness Wink

Congrats to all on A level results!

I feel ever so slightly more intelligent knowing that you all play on the same server as me. Smiley

The following is a drab point of view from an older man's perspective... don't click and be angry after all, it is just an opinion...
Now for the old man bit: You clever young things should now ask yourselves the question "Do I really need university?".  Now wait a second, because I'm not against uni, I went myself. However, you need to ask yourselves if running up an *enormous* debt is the right thing to do just now? Will the course give you what you need for sure? How many qualified people are already there for your chosen profession who can't get into the job market? I know this won't apply to all... but just something to think for some of you Wink

I work in IT, and I see so many grads competing against seasoned, experienced professionals. The only thing they have going for them at the moment is the expectation of a *much* lower wage! I know IT is a wide arena, but in general "IT developer" roles, this is the truth for sure. Anyone wanting to be a standard code monkey should be aware that there are lots of foreign IT developers who are competing against you, and on an even lower wage!

Now the bit for Claws, who is a lecturer:
Do go to uni. Claws wants a Mercedes Benz and a fat pension.

They're only really any use if you're applying to University that asks for UCAS points, but once you start getting offers based on grades they usually exclude them. I dropped Critical Thinking after 1st year, but unfortunately General Studies was compulsory. I turned up to all 3 of the 2.5-3 hour exams for that, but just drew pictures in my answer book. Needless to say I failed that one.

I remember someone's pen stopped working in a G.studs exam infront of me, so they just stopped writing. Lol'd hard.

If I don't get into my choice of Uni I will just call then a noob until they 1v1 me scout no unlocks dm_store. If I win I get a place.

I wrote a letter midway through my essay, asking the person marking it, how one marks a general studies paper, considering it's based around peoples personal opinions rather than facts. I then drew a full A4 picture of some germans in a trench machine gunning some russians. I got a D.
