Please help me understand

[dodo3]

University application process.

DD has just started 6th form, we have had a letter home to say she is likely to get all As if she continues to work as she is doing.
When should we book to look at unis?
Is there a A* grade at AS?
What type of uni should we look at ?
Her favourite subject is English Lit, what course should she look at?
As I understand it you have to choose a Uni, then a collage and then a course is that correct? Ahh its so confusing
Im doing the groundwork as DD doesn't have much spare time
I would really appreciate some help TIA

Thank you Kez, you are right.

I think deep down i'm clinging on to the last remains of my little girl.

Its so hard when they don't need you anymore :(

You are doing the right thing dodo. It's natural to want to help the DC but at some stage you know that the best 'help' is to let them do it for themselves.
Keep one step ahead of her so you can casually drop into conversations "have you thought about xyz" and signpost her so she can find these things out for herself and all should be well.
And keep asking MN - there is usually someone out there who can answer a HE question, even the most obscure ones! Which leads on the the other main rule: don't trust teachers, other parents or your neighbour's-cousin's-postman. Always go to source and ask the University admissions team.
