zak Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 i woulda thought you do write it in your personal statement. a lil paragraph at the end, "im taking the year out to do some work experience (just gas it to look better) whilst doing some work experience i have also decided to retake a few modules to take my B to an A"possibly?speak to connexions they're the best people to ask tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubby Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 If you're taking a gap year out you mention it in your personal statement and explain what you're doing and why. When you put through your application if you're taking retakes you don't have to show the grades for the units you're retaking, you just put them as 'pending' or something like that.Your referee will put in a predicted grade looking at your previous results as well.

Dubby Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Waiting for the remarking results to come though. Didn't get the place straight up though, some nasty feeling when I got that phone call on Friday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necksta Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Have you reached an open day? What's it saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubby Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 It's saying quite a lot man. I like the uni and facilities and whatever but really and truly I think it's the city that I like so much, or the part that surrounds the uni anyway. Didn't get in a visit to Nottingham (insurance) to compare with but I dunno if that would have affected me much.What uni you end up going?

Logic was like £700 when it was v7 right? My brother got it for £300 (or around that)It's possible that it was because he got it through his his uni (London College of Music) but that's how much he got it for.

Mr. Air Max 90 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 f*ck... I've already sent the decline email and now my insurance are telling me that if I decline my firm I'll go straight into clearing. f*ck, f*ck, f*ck. Anyhow my space isn't there, I will frass.I declined my firm which also automatically declined my insurance. I'm now in clearing with basically no spaces left anywhere. I'm now struggling to get a place on a foundation course, even considering East London (shudders) How can I go from Goldsmiths to East London...f*ck my life.
