Title: What level of education are you at?
Post by: Jubal on July 12, 2009, 12:27:25 PM

What level of education are you at, and where are you planning to get to?

I haven't done my GCSEs yet, but I should get a pretty nifty set of grades according to predictions. I definitely want to go to a good Uni, prolly to do History.

My main choice in education coming up is what 3/4 A levels I'm gonna do, and whether I'm going to stay at my current school (a comprehensive). I'm not worried about my grades, but other schools have more extracurricular stuff. The other main options for are two of the public schools in the nearest city. One has my sister at the moment in 6th form, and has a very good range of extras, besides generally a more academic background to my current school. The other is a Catholic school (those who know my view on the Catholic church will see why this is worth mentioning) but the good thing about it is that it does the International Baccelaureate rather than A levels, which offers a broader range of subjects.

I have 8 1/2 GCSEs at A*-C and will hopefully have one AS and 3 A Levels at A-C.

GCSEs are from 14-16 years old, A levels from 16-18, then to Uni and a degree.

Cambridge has the best history dept. in the UK, if you can get the grades to go there then that should certainly be your #1 option. It's also friggin' cool, really nice old city.

yeah. I have been looking it up, but i cannot find a GPA conversion table or anything so i don't know what my grades would translate to. Also, i had rough freshman and sophmore years, but upper level classes, especially in my field, i have aced. Hopefully they look past the basic GPA and focus more on my departmental performance. Who the hell gets better than a C in Calculus anyways? not me that is for sure.
