Looking at Cardiff, Canterbury, Bath Spa & Roehampton (London)

By the time I go, I will have:

Grade 8 theory
Grade 8 singing
Grade 6 flute
Grade 5 piano

Got B for AS Music (10 marks off an A)
D for AS English literature but I am resitting one of the papers!
A (Distinction) for BTEC Music Practice

Predicted for A2,

Music: A
BTEC Music Practice: AA/AAA
English Literature: B/C

All this UCAS application is really confusing...its taking me ages and time to get it right as well!

Well with grades that good it wouldn't really matter if you did get it wrong! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

All you people with A's and B's, I just dunno how you do it! It's really impressive, I take my hat off to you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

....just wish that I could do it too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Yes because there is so much competition to get into universities now...the application is the most important part!

Those are only predicted grades not necessarily the grades I will achieve overall, especially if you get a bad paper!

Thanks anyway

Just sent off my CUKAS form and my second reference went off this morning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
It's such a relief to have it finally sent off - I found it pretty stressful! There were only 2 of us at our 6th form applying through CUKAS and we basically got told to get on with it - the centre was so busy with all the oxbridge, vetinary science, medicine, law etc applicants that we were abandoned! (even though their deadline is 2 weeks after ours...!)
So glad it's out the way - at least we get more support for UCAS! (I hope....)
The audition fees for mine weren't too bad as I'm only applying to Leeds which is £30 (according to website) or £40 (according to CUKAS) plus the £15 - it doesn't seem unusual to have auditions costing well over £100, though it is still a lot of money to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

My auditions came to over £200. Fun fun!
I just sincerely hope I'm not wasting money by auditioning!
I'm going for RCM RAM TCM BC and Oxford, Kings and Royal Holloway!
Although I just so desperately want to go to college!
How much are you all practising!?
Anyone else scared?!

*nods*
Also getting worried about UCAS now - I can only find 4 uni's that I actually want to (and possibly could) go to, plus two which I would love to go to but entry requirements are too high, plus 4 I can't decide on! Arrrgh the stress!!

Yes, it has for CUKAS - that was October the 1st, but of course there are many music courses at universities and the UCAS applications aren't late until January 15th? Something like that anyway! I have just sent mine off today! *scared*. Haven't got an audition date from CUKAS yet (sent it off a few weeks ago). A girl in our year already has a conditional offer without even having gone for interview! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
