Anyone want to join a year 13 UCAS THREAD?

[JesusChristOtterStar]

We can join in stressing about ucas forms interviews etc?

I am finding it all a very steep learning curve - we could support one another - celebrate and commiserate?

hocuspontas - definitely the best university in the world - I'm biased too, as 3/4 of our family went/are there. (And half of them lived in Mardon)
DS (who went to Warwick) might disagree though!

hocuspontas well done dd I would love Exeter myself and still plan to retire to devon!

Good news in the Otter house today - DS got an offer from Cambridge

smiles and tears here from proud mummy!

Congratulations Ottercub!

NotAnOtter - High fives! Well done him and well done you. x

Congrats,son of NAO. Was it for A*AA? Which college and what will he be reading?

Thanks all

Lazymum it is A*AA ( which nicely keeps the pressure on) and it is for Natural Sciences

Fantastic news!!

Congratulations to the Ottercub. He'll have a great time at Cambridge. Please ask him to ensure he has working lights on his bike as I don't want to run him down when I'm in town! Meanwhile noses to grindstone here for January exams.

Well done! I hope he has a decent bicycle ready to blend in with the rest

milliways - did you see the bit on local news about the guy who skied down the hill from Tilehurst into Reading today?

I'm wondering how he's planning to get back....

No - I missed that one! BBC or Meridian? will look at website. It was pretty deep up here. I put some pics on profile but trying to upload one of our mega snowman & it keeps crashing. Will have another go.....

Congrats to Otterboy!
I note that all the emotions are coming from you NAO. What is he like? - is he trying to be infuriatingly cool about it all.

Think it was BBC but not sure, couldn't see anything on their website though.

senua no not at all he is quite happy
more relieved i think and caring an awful lot about his school friends who have also applied

He needs to work now all thanks to blasted the new A*

rats! No rest for the wicked

Hooray NotAnOtter.Fab news.

thanks so much selective!

Brilliant news for the whole Otter family - so pressure's off one way, and on in another!

Good luck to everyone else - ds (we're!!) is still waiting to hear from Durham, where he's been in College all over Christmas. Wish they'd get back to work!!

Happy new year all.

wow well done to otter junior!!!

you must be one proud mum

notanotter congratulations on DS's offer. That is fabulous news. Fingers crossed my DS will be there the following year

dd got an offer from Leeds today
AAB to do Economics and French

she's very pleased -hope it spurs her on to work harder

Congratulations to ggirl's girl!

ggirl - congratulations to your dd. Clever girl. Is it her first choice?

DS1 has his two remaining medical school interviews at the end of this month: UCL and Sheffield. It's a shame as he has exams and interview prep to do all at once. Poor chap.

ggirls dd well done !!

Leeds is a GREAT choice she will have a great time

mumoverseas - i will be here for quizzing!

Well done!!

Swedington, any news on the classics boy who wrote his Personal Statement in Latin? (just out of interest, for future reference.......)
