>If I drop out and apply to Oxford would I have a shot
obviously not

You sound autistic, oxbridge hold interviews so i don't think it'll go well for you.

Pussy niggas go to school
Blue collar for lyf

Also first years are meant to be easy. Everyone is just partying all the time

>If I drop out and apply to Oxford would I have a shot despite my awful GCSEs?
Fuck me Zoomers are getting dumber & dumber

University is a meme. So is working for an employer. I didn't go to Uni and still hold as senior a role as those that did. Still a wagie though, just get decent money.

>>13909834
Yeah I'm basing this if comparing grades to other people. I'm averaging 90 with little effort.

>>13909893
Yes but the others are probably going out three times a week and attending a lecture or two at best whilst you huddle inside doing the reading and posting on 4chan.

Wait until next year.

fpbp

What exactly do they teach you in further math A-levels? Here in IB, in further math I learnt linear algebra, geometry, number theory, graph theory, set theory, series and differential equations.

>>13909944
The strong people aren't at all. A lot are of course

>>13909994
Not most of that. I honestly can't name the topics, look up a level M3 and fp2 for the hardest stuff we did.

What uni?
>I feel so much regret when someone asks which university I go to it's unreal
At least you are not stuck in Birkbeck. A-Levels were piss easy with just a little bit of studying but I was too lazy/depressed for even that.

What does that even mean?

>>13909641

just all in a microcap faggot

This is still me I'm on 4g

>>13910154
Leicester. Not great now awful, probably just "good".

>>13910159
People who came in with good grades and are getting good grades now

I went to Newcastle uni and have worked in finance now for 7 years. You know how many times I got asked about my degree at job interviews? Zero.

>>13909641
no one gives a shit about euro universities, they're all shit tier

The fuck did you apply for Leicester with 4 A*?
What are you studying?

Also, clearly don't change uni - it would be retarded to explain to an employer. Just get a first class honours and be done with it.

Also uni isn't actually meant to teach you stuff, it's 4 years of getting fucked up, doing stupid shit and developing social skills / mates who you can count on later on.

You'd be better off breezing through you studies, sleeping with as many girls as possible and joining a shit load of societies to widen your social circle. That's what's £40k student loan is actually for.

Moron.

Well, Birkbeck is absolutely shit. I am surrounded by old people and morons. Entry requirements are BBB or something and in case you didn't know it is a uni for working people. Its only saving grace is that it offers a UoL degree so it is no different to UCL/LSE in that regard but I am pretty sure that those unis are starting to distance themselves away from UoL degrees and offer their own so Birkbeck can't cling to their prestige anymore.
That being said, it doesn't matter what university you go to, your grade is all that matters. Remember when you were told in primary school that it is important what secondary you get into? Remember how supposedly crucial it was to get into a good Sixth Form/College? Now you know that it was all nonsense, and it's the same with Universities. Your grade is all that matters, all else is a worthless sense of prestige, which I admit is difficult to ignore. I do feel shitty about going to Birkbeck even though I know it doesn't matter ultimately. A First is a First.
I'm only really here as a back up plan in case I don't make it trading. I max out the maintenance loan to invest in crypto.

Half cause of awful gcses, half cause of zero confidence cause of shitty parents. Now I would apply to the top ones.

I'm studying physics.

>>13910253
They'll get good degree rankings. It would strike me that you aren't one to make that assessment with your past education and your seeming obliviousness to how university works.

>>13910347
It doesn't matter what grades you have.
Grades mean shit in University, get a degree and be the fucking best in what you do and everything will set in place.

>>13910346
I'm sorry about that it does sound a pretty shit situation.

>it doesn't matter what university you go to, your grade is all that matters.
Unfortunately I don't think this is true cause it's clearly much easier to get top grades and not so good universities, and in my personal situation getting 70 for a first is effortless. Of course could put percentages but I don't think anyone cares.

>Remember when you were told in primary school that it is important what secondary you get into? Remember how supposedly crucial it was to get into a good Sixth Form/College?
Lol I never got told that, just sent to the nearest one.

>>13910365
You sound really insecure/dumb to be honest. Anyone can say who the best students are by looking at their grades, it requires no skill

>>13910347

Could be worse you could have went to Anglia Ruskin or Oxford Brookes and larped that you are in Oxbridge

Better yet, university of Bolton master race.

Durham is a good shout if you want the oxbridge experience with less cunts

>>13910347
you could have fucking explained why you had shit gcses and then sold the exceptional a levels as you turning your life around, fulfilling your full potential etc. in your personal statement, or better yet in interviews if you're not autistic (doubt). It wouldn't have worked for oxbridge but for sure it would for top 20 unis with those grades. either way you had 5 options so literally no reason not to apply to the best! Worst case scenario you go to clearing and end up at somewhere like Leicester. Are you sure you're that smart? This was the easy path

>>13910405
Insecure? Im a decade out of uni. I'm just saying you have wildly misunderstood university in thinking you have to work hard in the first year. It's meant to be piss easy as they know everyone is out partying. 2nd year is the actual first year and those having fun will displace you from your position then.

>>13909820
>You sound autistic
Oxbridge is chock full of autismos incapable of dealing with real life. He'll fit right in.

>>13910440
They've shown us all a graph with peoples 1st and 2nd year grades to encourage us to work. They're basically the same especially at the top, you're making stuff up.

>>13910461
Not remotely true. I didn't go to oxbridge, i went to Bristol, but i knew plenty and any image of them as awkward savants is false. It has the same split as most russell group unis, plenty of chads and staceys, plenty of autists and plenty of chinese.

>>13910485
That's funny as they showed me a chart of the exact opposite. Stop chatting nonsense
