Well i need not worry now, the ***** has sent them off, and it turns out that my place at college was reserved, and this was merely a formality. Bloody red tape! i'm sure the place must be run by Vogons.

Ach, lazy college advisors and the like are a part of the application process, I'm afraid. One of my friends, his school has some sorta setup where he fills out part, gives the application to the advisor/whatever, he finishes it, and the school sends it out.

Last March, he found out that the advisor hadn't remembered to send his application. He was lucky, and scored a sweet-ass job doing not much in Brazil, but he's gonna have to college out there, 'cos there's not a school in the US that'll accept him now that he's late a year.


Me, my advisor didn't do the midyear reports until last week. Which was bad, since my apps were already a day late (and now I'm snowed in and can't meet the 15th deadline for some colleges, either).

Basically, you've got to harass them, scream at them, and panic about whether the colleges will overlook their idiocy until you get in. That's life.

Pfff. I was declare MIA by the education system in like November and sealed in a section of the school known as The Base™. My applications for college were supposed to be done by September and sent off in February.

August 14th, I sent off my applications. I got an interview on...err......the 20-something-th of August (it was a Thursday) and was told to show up on Tuesday to recieve my time-table and be assigned to a tutor-group.

And this is inspite of getting ****ty exams results. Being expelled from school. Flat-out refusing to do any kind of mock exams over the previous Winter. Having a hang-over during the interview. And they phoned my Head Of Year, a woman who hates me.

And I still got in.


The universe loves me because I **** people up.

Queen Elizabeth 6th Form College.

IIRC it's the 3rd best in the North, and top-10 for the whole UK.

They must get a government grant or something if they manage to get the numbers of students up.

If I wanted an unconditional I'd have applied for something ending in -ology. ;)
;) Unconditionals make you appreciate your place at Uni more. :nod:

On the thought of such things, while my rather raggedy bunch were in a lecture room today waiting for our lecturer to turn up, another one walked in and asked if we were there for midwifery.... :wtf:

Can't say I've ever heard of it I'm afraid, but then my school is forever harping about being one of the top ten in Britain, but i don't belive a work of it. This is a school that considers ICT to be on par with RS! We had half a year of RS, and half a year of ICT Key Skills[/i]!

It is, BTW, Brighouse High School. Heard of it?
I thought not.
