Now, I don't want to make a big song and dance over this, but...

I've been accepted into my university of choice!

Starting from mid-September, you'll be looking at your brand new Sociology and Criminology student! Indeed I'm going to to the University of Winchester, in case you're interested in stalking me for the next three years.


For the last few weeks at home, I'll be sorting out all sorts of things. Checking accommodation is being sorted, making sure finance is going well, etc.

Naturally, what results did I get in my A-Levels to get into the place?

BTEC Forensic Science - Distinction* (Effectively A*)
A-Level Sociology - A
A-Level English Literature - C
AS Biology - B

To break it down even further, to get accepted into my course, I required between 320 - 360 UCAS tariff points. Essentially each grade gives me points on a sliding scale. An A* is worth the most with 140, and then that goes down in increments of 20, so A is 120, B is 100, C is 80 and so on and so forth. AS points are worth less because they are only a year, but a B is worth 50 points.

So yeah, I needed 320 - 360 points, and, in case you haven't already tallied it up, I scored a very respectable 390. I actually got above the higher limit of their band. This is, naturally, very good.

So... WOOOOOOOO!
