Well done Underscore

My daughter got offered Pharmacy in Derry and Biochem in Cork, bit of a dilemma because Pharmacy was her first choice in Cork so she really wants to do the course but she's not sure whether she wants to move to Derry. I think she will take Biochem

how do you feel about her moving to Derry

I'd be a bit nervous about it tbh, with all the Brexit stuff I'd be afraid of things starting up there again, also right now Ireland is charged EU fees but if that changes to international fees it would be way too expensive and on top of that Derry is really hard to get to from Cork unless you drive which she doesn't

Honestly I think she's going to go with Biochem anyway, she's pretty nervous about the idea of going to Derry herself

yeah I think in view of how things are she might be better staying local

What are you looking to do in Uni Ant, sounds like you have similar interests to my daughter actually with Biology and Chemistry?

Yeah, she really had put Pharmacy out of her head anyway because she didn't think she met the requirements but she must have got it because she got one grade lower than they wanted but then she got another that was higher so maybe countered it or something? I don't know. She was happy out with Biochem and now that's thrown a spanner in the works

that is what I got also. I found university much eaisier than a levels.
A lot of graduate schemes ask for ABB also so you’re in good stead if that’s what your goal is out of university

Thanks she's decided to do Biochem in Cork

[Ant.]

(but thank you )

The sad thing is, despite how difficult maths was, I was really confident I'd get the A (and tbf I still could with the remark) because of the lenient grade boundaries and how easy it can be to mop up marks with methods. A B is great don't get me wrong, but it's not what I wanted (and I'm lowkey miffed because I revised SO hard for Maths). Irregardless the fact I did well in it (even if not relatively) is comforting when I consider the fact Maths was my lowest GCSE

[Ant.]

If it's any consolation to anyone who did A Levels, there's been the lowest grades since 2007, which is really notable when you consider the fact the harder linear exams have been in place since 2017 and they've never went that low

I think it was 94% for an A or an A* in English Lit. Chemistry's super high grade boundaries of 85% for an A* are nearly 10% lower by comparison

[Ant.]

I really should feel disappointed but I've just felt in control which I'm glad about. I'm just taking a longer route, that's all. If I get the A in Maths I get to have a year off and earn some extra cash and relax. If I get into Leicester I get to start my journey really soon. Either way I'm happy and there's still Unis I've got to pester
