A Level Results Day!!!

After waiting for sooooooooooooo long on Thursday 15th August 2013 I finally received my A Level results. This results day wasn't the same as others. This results day was extremely important as I was finding out what university I would be going to in September. Especially the night before, I was so so nervous but the day arrived..... I logged into UCAS Track at 7:30 am and discovered that I got into my firm choice the University of Surrey!!!!

I was extremely excited when I saw this as I REALLY wanted to go to Surrey. The campus is beautiful and the university is now 2nd in the Guardian League Table for Economics above universities such as LSE, Cambridge and UCL. I'm so relieved that all this stress is over. Literally, I spent half of my summer worrying about results day and now it's come and gone just like that. This post is a bit late but I have exactly a month left before I move in. I have so much shopping to do and prep in this space of time but surprisingly I'm really relaxed. It's quite daunting the idea of moving away from home. I question myself sometimes if I'll be able to cope but I guess this is all part of growing up.

In relation to my career progression, these were my A Level results:

Economics: A
Government and Politics: B
Maths: B

Update.. AS Level results.. Future?

I've had a few days to think now and I've come up with a plan to what I have to do in A2 to get the best grades possible. I just discovered that to apply to LSE to do Economics Bsc I had to get an A in Further Maths but I got a C. Just to make sure I still have a chance I have emailed the recruitment team at the university for their advice. It's good to contact the universities you want to apply to with questions just to make sure you're making the right choice. Providing that the grade I got is not a problem, I MUST aim for an A* in two of my subjects. This is going to be EXTREMELY difficult because I have to get an average of 90% in my A2 exams.

No social life for me...

The entry requirements are A*AA but that's just the minimum and it's best to aim higher because the competition is intense. There's also an option to apply for UCL but there's the issue of the Modern Foreign Language at GCSE which I don't have although they still encourage students who don't have it to still apply.

All I can do is just wait for the email from LSE and just hope and pray it's not a problem.
