Been getting the university offers in lately, got 4 so far, 2 to go.
But I'm well pleased as I got the one I wanted to go to today in the post, 'Reading Univeristy' offered me a place 
also got offers from brunel, swansea and bournemouth with portsmouth and cantebury (kent) coming soon.
Also reading only asked for Overall Distinction Merit Merit (300 tariif points) should be easy

yeh readings rated 24th out of the 200+ uni's in the uk or something.
Doing Computer Science.  V.weird feeling as this time about a year and a half ago I never thought I'd even think about going to uni ... thankfully I managed to turn my life around.
Portsmouth is pretty cool.
I'm not 100% sure If I will definately goto Reading, but it was the one that I liked the thought of going to!
It's a good uni, its far enough from home to be independant, but close enough that I can drive home and get some shit or leave stuff behind.
It's also a well cool student town, I think I wandered around most of reading at Reading festival this year!
Plus its in a pretty good location, I didn't want to end up south on the coast, because it'd be mileage to get anywhere, from Reading you can go M4 towards london M4 towards west, A34 towards North ( and join M40) and south.

I kept nearly laughing when I was at swansea at everyone's accents. I kept forgetting this was how they all spoke and thought they were putting it on as a joke.
yeh Kent University is supposed to be good luca - Its on my list, but no word yet.
Might put Kent + Reading as my 2 choices...
Kent's not far from southend

Doing MEng Electronic Engineering w/Computer Science...
Got AABB... Think the requirement was ABB...
Know what you mean about rep -- Looks like I've just got a job at Deutsche Bank and everyone who was interviewing was either from UCL or Imperial...

Hey Tim what subjects were those grades in? UCL demand Maths at least and prefer Physics, yeh?
I always see your car outside the court in St Albans, well I think it is and thought you studied/worked round here.

Maths, Further Maths, Physics & Economics....
Outside the court? I live in Berkhamsted now but I'm at uni so the car is no where except the driveway... Dunno who's car you've seen... One of my mates says there's a 3 door with the same kit as mine on it but I can't think of anything apart from that...
