A-level results...

[Xanatos]

...come out on Thursday. Very nervous Xanatos is. Bartering with university admissions office Xanatos will have to. Words of advice, appreciated will be.

[Titomancer]

Have faith in yourself. They can smell fear.

[Grae Knight]

Can you explain some more Yoda? What is "A-level results"?

[Xanatos]

Exam results. Said exam results determine whether you get into university or not. I'm unsure what the American equivalent is.

[Titomancer]

SATs? Or an Entrance Exam maybe?

Either or, how well do you THINK you did, Xan? Did you feel confident in your results, and just second guessing yourself now because the results are about to be revealed?

[Grae Knight]

I am sure you did well Xan. You come across like you got a good head on your shoulders so I think it is just a matter of how well you did.

[8 Ball]

Just don't use the Yoda-speak on any entrance interviews and you'll be fine.

[Blackbat]

Just don't use the Yoda-speak on any entrance interviews and you'll be fine.

Seconded. They probably won't get the reference and will most likely just label you as mentally retarded.

[Gogo]

The SATs don't REALLY determine if you get into college or not, they just have a lot to do with it. You can take the ACT or the TOEFL instead, so I don't think they're as big as the A-levels.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll be fine. I mean, Krypto and Red both got into college, so you shouldn't have that much trouble. :P

[Stalking Shadow]

Calm down, lie down, and make a list of what you want out of meeting the office. Write down how you plan to approach the university admissions board. Be polite, be firm, and make sure that you let the board know exactly what you situation is. Most importantly, though, be comfortable while you're there. I think that most of the screw-ups in interviews like this, in my limited experience, come out of being nervous, and a feeling of wanting to get the hell out of the room the moment you sit down for the interview.

Most likely, your best bet will be to get the admission's board on your side, to let them know why you want to go to the university, what you plan to do there, and get them interested in you, to make them see you as much, much more than a test result, because, you know, you are, and stuff.

I got into MU on my ACT score alone. Of course, my 3.5 college GPA doesn't hurt either. :p

He slept with the admissions officer. Who is a man. O_O

[Krypto]

At least he put out.

[Gogo]

You whore, you were just here!

[Krypto]

Technically, I'm not a whore, since I wasn't paid for it.

[Gogo]

It wasn't good enough to get paid for. :p

[Krypto]

It was good enough to get me into MU. :cool:

[Gogo]

Hmph. See if you get any when I come for Christmas.

[Krypto]

Not like it's good enough for you anyways, right? :P

[Gogo]

I'm not going to be the one with blue balls for a Christmas present. ^_^

[Krypto]

No, but you'll be the one sleeping on the couch.

[Gogo]

Considering I'm going to be the guest, YOU'LL be the one on the couch. :)

[Krypto]

Considering it wasn't like that for me, you'd better bring some warm blankets, cause it'll be cold in the living room.

[Grae Knight]

Wow! Derail and a half!

[Xanatos]

Thanks for the tips/support guys. I don't normally post attention whoring threads but i'm genuinely worried.

But the world carries on turning no matter what happens :)

[Krypto]

I'm sure you did fine, Xan, and sorry for derailing the thread.

[Inertial]

Good luck bro.

[Gold Rush]

I *think* I have an inspirational story, but I guess it could be viewed the other way. It ended well, needless to say.

Hmm, I think I will save it until after your exam. :)

If you haven't already, do some searching around for tip sheets on how to barter with the admissions officer - stuff like common questions or what they look for. Knowing and preparing for that kind of thing can really help you.

[UnSub]

Hmph. See if you get any when I come for Christmas.

Apparently both Christmas and Gogo only come once a year.

[Inertial]

BAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

All hail UnSub, one liner king!

[Kinetix]

Unsub, you win.

[Gogo]

Considering who I'm sleeping with...yes.

[Krypto]

Hahaha, looks like you win this time. That was pretty good. :lol:

[Gogo]

*snuggles Krypto*

[Solos]

I'm in the same situation. It comes down to if my previously high grades cover for how much i fucked up in these exams.

[Poison]

I'm sure you did just fine, Xan. You're smarter than you like to admit. ;)

And, uh... will there be a relationship comedy thread soon, "Bert and Gogo"?

[Gogo]

You know we're dating now, right?

QFT

[bpphantom]

Things not to do:
Do not bring your CoH comics and point out your character...many times.
Do not bring letters of reference from the Dev's... unless you're going into game development.
Do not glare and point shouting "You would dare bar me from your tyrannical establishment!? Prepare for the frozen fist of JUSTICE!"
Do not jump on a chair and scream "I'm F'ing XANATOS!!"

I kid, I kid.

Just research the university a little and talk to other people that got in previously if you can. Be yourself, and relax. You'll do fine.

[Meltman]

I'm sure you did just fine, Xan. You're smarter than you like to admit. ;)

Yeah, and you're DEFINITELY smarter than I like to admit.

[Poison]

You know we're dating now, right? No, I didn't. Does Krypto know?

[Gogo]

Ha. Ha. Very funny. He visited me about a week ago, so nyah. :p

[Charon]

I'm in the same position, except I'll be getting my AS Level results.

It's not quite as dire if I bomb them all, because I'm in the year before Xan and Solos which means I can always retake - my university entry doesn't ride on just this set of exams.

[Kinetix]

No, I didn't. Does Krypto know?
haha

Damn, they grade you on how good your Assassin Strikes are over there? You should probably play Stalkers more often...:P

[Meltman]

BlueCanary visited SK recently too, and I don't think they're going out. :p

Thought I wouldn't blame SK, BC does have a nice car...

I know, my highest is level 4.

I'm so screwed :(

[Solos]

UCAS has updated to say i got an unconditional offer for my firm.

And now that i have my results i got A in maths and biology and B in physics.

[Xanatos]

I got in not on my grades but on my ability to negotiate, barter, beg and plead.

Thanks to all the people who refused to PL me for making this possible! :D

[Blackbat]

Congrats! I just hope you didn't resort to exchanging sexual favors for acceptance.

[Titomancer]

Thanks to all the people who refused to PL me for making this possible! :D


Congrats. And we'll take payment in the form of PLing :)

[Stalking Shadow]

Now I have a new way of refusing kids powerleveling.

"Trust me, Jonywunderbar, this is for your own good. You want to get into college one day, right? They ask you about this stuff. And they know. They always know."

[Charon]

Here are my AS level results, for anybody who cares ;)

Film - A
English - A
Politics - A
History - B

[bpphantom]

Well ain't you all special.

What? I wasn't being sarcastic...
