Hi guys a few question about UCAS, but first ill give you the storey.
Had a uni-interview today for a furniture design and craftmanship course. (im 17, 18 in may) I had an interview for a Uni at 4:30 today which didnt go too well. The guy was a bit of a 'c you next tuesday' if you ask me, when it came to my portfolio which is only small.
He more or less slatted it, pointed out what was wrong etc etc. He seemed to be fairley picking, expecting people to already have the skills to get on the course, but then surely whats the point of the course if you know it all?
Ive only done Product design (@ A level currently) and resistant materials at GCSE which my teacher lost my work RM is the only furniture based, apart from the model making in PD where I can use materials such as wood etc. The design feature I though was fairley good, but not enough sketches which I agree on.
Long storey short, i had started to think the last day or two, maybe this wasnt the career choice for me, and might be more of a hobby. This interview hasnt helped, but ive got 2 more to go, so am not letting it get to me.
If I do however decide not to go to uni, can one simpley cancel UCAS applications. Obviousley im going to finish my A levels, the other is in Philosophy and Ethics.
I might wait and see if I get offered any other courses, but the debt is another factor in the back of my mind. Where as going into employment, or traveling with some friends first is an option.
So can one simpley cancel UCAS, although it'd be a stupid thing to do? Not that i have the intentions to at the moment.
Sorry for the long post
Thanks in Advance
