Anyone else with the A Level results today?

I'm sorry but just, no. Prestigious universities are prestigious for a reason. And that is not it. Completing a degree at one that is more difficult than any other university makes it prestigious.

What, so the quality of teaching is worse?

Oh god, we're getting into private vs public schools now?

Ouch. Do not worry, once you get into Uni, you will realise your A Levels do not matter too much. Getting there might be slightly challenging with your grades however

Also, Oxbridge do have a large number of contact hours compared to other universities. Generally speaking however they also expect a huge amount of personal work from you. You have to write an essay a week easily.

I'm not too worried, they're only for the first modules in AS. Plenty of time for resits and i think this thread has helped me to see where i went wrong, in Biology at least.

Still think i might request my papers back (apart from General Studies and Physics ), could be worth it for £10 a pop.

Just because it's worthless doesn't mean it's easy to get a good grade in it...
