but why do u insist on being called ur full user name ?

anyway
u will learn about ucas
they start bugging u about uni as soon as u begin college.

[Ameeratul Layl]

:sl: Bcuz Im not just a Princess. Im the Princess Of The Night. lol.

My bio lecturer asked me and I sed oxford/cambridge..(yeah right).

Which one u thinking of sis?
*whispers*Im not going off topic am I?

Peace.

Like no where so far. Had no time lately.

wats ucas sis?

:omg:

University and Colleges Admissions Service. Bloody choors. They charge you to find a uni, regardless of whether the uni accepts you or not. Daylight robbery. And don't get me started on fees... Oh, off-topic. Sorry.

Bcuz Im not just a Princess. Im the Princess Of The Night. lol.

Right. And I am the Dark Knight. Lawlz. :p :playing:

Like no where so far. Had no time lately.

Aren't they being sent off next week or something? Or is that just my brother's college...

[Z]

Peace.

I'm not sure dude. I think we got till January something.

my college has an internal deadline so theres no hitch up's....otherwise the careers advisers so beserk if everything's not in on time.
that way they get everything sorted in time for the real deadline.

yup

aaarrrgghhh....:enough!:

[Z]

Salaam.

So give us the juicy details. Who's applied to where. What for. Any offers?

[DaNgErOuS MiNdS]

Oh I applied about 3 years ago, ucas is a headache.

[Z]

Salaam.

Well it isn't really a headache. It's the tutors who make it a pain.

[DaNgErOuS MiNdS]

Salaam.

Well it isn't really a headache. It's the tutors who make it a pain.

yeah aq pain in the head, hence headache :giggling:

[Muezzin]

yeah aq pain in the head, hence headache :giggling:

It's a pain all right. Not a pain in your head though. I was thinking a little... lower. :p

Come on, someone answer Z's question. I did mine ages ago, since I'm already in the second year of uni. I remember the UCAS experience being a vague pain in the... lower back area. Yeah.

[farhan2]

Alhamdulillah i applied a couple of moths ago for interior design to unis around the UK which r De montfort, Bournmouth, writtle college, kent institute of art and design, oxford brooks and london met, and so far i have conditional offers to de montfort, bournemouth, oxford brooks and london met. I just had my interview for kent institue today and went well alhamdulillah and i have one more for writtle college on the 8th so inshallah i shall do well. how about you peeps??

Heh, I go to DeMontfort. As does Far7an and Bro Mujahid. Three of the At-Taqwa Massive! :D

[Z]

Salaam.

Hey Farhan, I might see you at Kent then. It's merged with Surrey now though, so the departments might be seperated.

[Munda Pakistani]

I applied for Chemical Engineering, 2006 entry, at:

Cambridge
Imperial
Manchester
Loughborough
Nottingham
Bath

[niqaabii]

i havent applied anywhere yet
but if i do go uni in sept (inshallah, but i doubt it) it will be birmingham uni.

[islamonline]

Heh, I go to DeMontfort. As does Far7an and Bro Mujahid. Three of the At-Taqwa Massive! :D

what do you study?

[Muezzin]

I study Law. Bro Mujahid studies... Pharmacy, I think. And Far7an studies... Business Information Systems, if I recall correctly.

Any AS level students...going into A2 decided what they want to study at University..and which universities they will be applying to?

[Ameeratul Layl]

Salam,
I was hoping someone had made such a thread. Alhamdullilah my thoughts were heard.

I will be taking A2 once I return to College.inshAllah.
I will take:

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Mathematics << I can finally take AS at college as I recieved my GCSE re-take results and have passed.alhamdullilah.

I hope to go to Oxford or Cambridge but I shan't push my hopes up too high.

I am feeling so motivated for my second year at colllege.subhanAllah. I already have the stationary ready. All I need is a new bag.

Anyhow, if I wish to take a subject at University and it says I need 24 points. How do I know I have these points? I hope you understand the question.

By the way, which university do you wish to go to brother?

24 Points? Well A level point system works like this

A 120
B 100
C 80
D 60
E 40

So perhaps the 24 points might be referring to International Baccalaureate. Which is just an alternative to studying A levels. But seeing as you're doing A levels...You'd use that point system.

I'm unsure what I want to study at university, perhaps engineering, but I may go to UCL, or Loughborough University (very good for engineering). But I'm still unsure what I will study.

[chacha_jalebi]

naa i think it means 24 points same as 240 points

like an A = 12, B= 8, C = 6, D = 4 and so on, they must have jus changed it and use single points instead of points in hundreds :D:D:D :p ya lot get moi but it stil means same

so 24 points sista wud b 2 A's atleast :D:D:D

Engineering? the mechanical side? It seems a good field to be part of. Loughborough University? This may seem a ridiculous question, and I dare say it is, but, where is Loughborough? Is it near Oxford?


International Baccalaureate seems like something really big and scary. In simple words, what is it about?

I hope you and I are not the only ones going to University soon.inshAllah.
Brother, will you be doing A2 after the holidays or are you to begin University?

Yes, there seem to be two different ways of calculating and I think you may be right. Im not saying br seeker of ilm is wrong. I say this because the requirements for what I wish to study are AAB.
So, that is an A for Physics and A in something else and a B in something else. Right?

But then the points required would be 340 points. And for Chacha_jalebis theory to hold true....it should have been 34 points.

If you want to study physics you'll need maths also. As the course as I understand it has a lot of maths in it

yesh 2 A's and a B or C

or 24 points can also be 3 Bs or A,B,D = it stil adds up to 24 :D:D:D but obviosly to have a better chance of gettin in, you wud want the bestest grades :D:D and a bit above 24 points, all the best sista :D:D:D jus dont push urself too hard :D:D:D inshallah ya will get in :D

Yes, I mean only in the first year of A levels there are more than 10 equations to learn and so much substituting to do. But that if fun!

So, whose theory is right?

This is what it says for the requirements:

Course Specific Requirements
AAB at A level including Maths and Physics or ABB at A level including Maths, Physics and Further Maths, or AA in Maths and Physics A level plus BBB from three Advanced Subsidaries.


[/QUOTE=Chacha_jalebi]jus dont push urself too hard inshallah ya will get in[QUOTE]

InshAllah I will. But I think its good to push yourself.

:w:

[chacha_jalebi]

lol @ whos theory right? i would say mine :p lol naa i dunno lol i jus sayin frm wot i remem when i did my ucas tin

lol if they say a minimum of 24 points needed, that can be any grades, like 3 Bs or even A.B.D because A= 12, B = 8, D = 4 and you get your 24 points. but imagine someones got more then 24 points, then they are most likely to pick the peeps wit more then the minimum grades, in A2 it dont matter about grades, it matters about Ucas points :D:D:D[MAD][/MAD]

and sista it is good to push urself, but theres more 2 life then jus learnin :D:D but dats moi personal opinion :p and inshallah dont wowy ya will get in, you jus gota b committed & u seem lik u r so woo hoo :D:D:D

I think the best thing would be to follow the grades they say... i.e. AAB or whatever.

[Ameeratul Layl]

[QUOTE=chacha_jalebi;463371]lol @ whos theory right? i would say mine :p lol naa i dunno lol i jus sayin frm wot i remem when i did my ucas tin

The ucas thing has probably changed now.

in A2 it dont matter about grades, it matters about Ucas points :D:D:D[MAD][/MAD]

You see? Its all about UCAS Points and I just seem to understand. YOur saying one thing ans br seeker of ilm is saying another

and sista it is good to push urself, but theres more 2 life then jus learnin :D:D

Actually, life is about expolring every little alley and thats what I intend to do.

and inshallah dont wowy ya will get in,
InshAllah.Ameen.

you jus gota b committed & u seem lik u r so woo hoo :D:D:D

Sorry, what is woo hoo?

:w:

[chacha_jalebi]

lol woo hoo is woo hoo lol

ucas aint changed :p i did my 1 last yr :D

jus sister get the best grades you can, then when the university thin comes then do it then, cross the brigde when it comes as they say :D:D:D

[Ameeratul Layl]

cross the brigde when it comes as they say :D:D:D

:sl:
Sometimes it is better to plan how to cross the bridge. They never tell you that bit do they. tut tut.
No, I need to know about this UCAS thing. If this is what will be looked at rather than my grades, then I wish to know all about it.

:w:

[chacha_jalebi]

lol i told you what me knows sister :D:D:D

lol basically when applyin for Uni, they will look @ your points, if u meet the requirements, then they will inshallah accept u, but imagine u got the grades

B B E =these = to 240 points

and someone got

C C C which is also = 240

they mite choose the person who got ccc, because they got all A-Cs dya get moi :D:D

so its best to get the bestest grades you can & dont jus settle for the required grades, try to get higher so then they have to accept you :D:D:D

hope dat helped & sister contact the uni itself :D because they can explain the bestest

[Ameeratul Layl]

Salam,

So, rather than AAB you think its good to aim for: AAA?

Wasalam

[chacha_jalebi]

yesh because look @ it in this way

if you had AAA and i had AAB, they would choose you, instead of me:D

but sister AAB is still really heavy, and i think any uni would accept them grades :D:D:D:D bcos hardly any1 gets them @ A - Level

[Ameeratul Layl]

I think where it is in the league board would entirely depend on the individual subjects. I.e. Imperial would be the best for Engineering....but because it doesn't offer humanities subjects in its syllabus...it wouldn't obviously be included in that.

So, there you CAN work out the points with AS Results?

:w:

:sl:

Its simple....

Right now with your AS grades, the points are worth half, because its only half the course, so therefore,

A = 60 Points
B = 50 Points
C = 40 Points
D = 30 Points
E = 20 Points


However, the points you will be submitting for Ucas will be your Predicted A2 grades, so the point system is as follows:

A = 120 Points
B = 100 Points
C = 80 Points
D = 60 Points
E = 40 Points

I.E. say a person got AAB in the subjects they will be continuing with in A2, their Points will amount to 340 Points.

[Ameeratul Layl]

salam,

Simple? How manyth time have I asked the same question?

Anyhow, for the AS results, do I do the overall grade or individual.

I.E:

Physics Overall = B = 50

Or

Physics: Mod 1 = B Mod 2 = c
so, B+C= ... points

You use the overall grade, not the individual module grades.

So if you got

Module 1 A
Module 2 B
Module 3 C

And overall its a B, then thats what you use for Ucas.

[Ameeratul Layl]

salam,

Okay, you just confused me. You told me NOT to use individual but you used it in the example.

So, in AS, do I go by this:

module 1 = c
module 2 = c
module 3 = c
Coursework = B

My points are: 170 UCAS points


OR this:

Overall grade = B = 50 points

You use the overall grade - B. But it would be 100 Points, because its your prediction for A2

[Ameeratul Layl]

Im confused.
It was going so well.

So, if my overall grade is A in AS = 60 points
But for UCAS it is 120 points.

So, how many point do I have so far. 60 or 120?

This is so frustrating!!!

[Ameeratul Layl]

salam,

I understand now. I think.

I was looking at your example of AAB and thinking you were talking of the individual modules. I read carefully and noted you wrote, 'subjects.'
So, for example:

A = Physics
B=Chem
B= Bio

I think I understand now.
