I GOT IN!
'Congratulations! Your place at London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London) (L72) to study Geography with Economics (L7L1) has been confirmed.'
Possibly the most important words i will read in the next 3 years of my life, i received yesterday. Results days are stressful times, thank god this one is over!
I got 3 As (Maths, Geography and Economics) so i'm pretty over the moon. They weren't amazingly high As, and there were some papers that i expected to do better in, but all that aside, i got what i needed and more for my first choice university, so by the end of September, I will officially be a first year at the LSE.
My friends have pretty much all been as successful. Only 3 or so close friends didn't get the grades they needed for their first choice universities, but some places will take you on regardless, so fingers crossed for them. Pretty much everyone i know got 3 As- but this isn't an indication that A-levels are getting easier, whatever the press may say. I'm just friends with a lot of smart people!
I've now got a month and a half to get ready to leave home for the first time ever- it's not all that dramatic, i'm only going to be around 45 minutes away from home, but i DO get to live out (despite the fact that it is going to financially cripple me) and i plan on making the best of my year!
Right now, i'm off to a post-results party. once again, SO GLAD that this stress is over and i can finally make plans!
