YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

WOO HOO!!

Ok, lol, now that I got that out of me, I can explain.

I needed a minimum of 200 UCAS Tariff points to go to the uni I want to go to, last year I got the first 20 points from a grade E in AS Photography (I was totally crap at it), This year I needed at least a CC in Art and Design (160 points) and an E in ICT (Computing) (Another 20 points), What I got was the following total now:

Course: Grade: UCAS Tariff Points:

Art and Design: CC 160
Photography: E 20
ICT: D 30
Total: 210

YEEEEEEEES!!!!! University Here I come!!!!

Anyways, if anyone in the UK got they're results today, please post here ^^

Grats Gerry. What Uni are you going to?

 

[Rannoch]

Congrats!

 

[Anaeran]

"E" is a grade in England?

You really do learn somethin new every day


Congrats btw.

 

[Gerry]

Grats Gerry. What Uni are you going to?

Staffordshire University, Stafford Campus ^^ I'm taking a Bsc Honors in Games Design =D

And to Anaeran's post, the grade scale in England goes from A* down to U (Ungraded) depending on which subject is chosen and whether or not if it is a "traditional" course or a BTEC course.

I never took a BTEC course so I don't exactly know how it works, but I believe it goes like "Fail, Pass, Merit, Distinction" as the grade scale. Not 100% sure.

Ok, My mum has just told me something Interesting.

I am the ONLY person in my entire family to go to University O_O
I feel so proud =D

Oh, and the art and design board may have made an error in my grade, i counted the marks up total yesterday and the grade should be in between a BB and a BC, but i won't know until it's completely 100% official.

 

[Grem]

My books list totals up at £94.44 Laaame.

Also, heads up Gerry, Natwest student accounts = 5 year railcard if you're moving away.

 

[Gerry]

I'm not with Natwest, but thanks for the info =)

My supplies are gonna be costly, I need:

A new PC;
Games Design books;
PC games with map editors, character creation tools, etc;
A Better Internet connect rofl XD.

I was the first and I let them down, 2 years wasted because I was a fucking tool.

DO NOT DO THE SAME. Work your ass off from the start, even if the first year is easy and doesn't seem worthwhile put 110% in as it'll help immensely for the 2nd and 3rd years.

Don't worry ^^ I worked my ass of in High school to get this far, I'm not gonna let myself or my family down (Well, my dad's side may be let down because I just don't like them because they are jackasses, but thats another story lol)

 

[Grem]

My folks are ashamed of me anyway, I think they're just glad to be rid of me.
