[@gingyrocka6039]

2 offers that's great congrats, this yr was rough tho, I can admit that, got rejected by birmingham and kings for dentistry, when in a normal yr, i defo would've gotten in at least for birmingham, might see u at QMUL, its why i looked beyond the UK for uni, and applied to 30+ unis lol in 5 countries to increase my odds, i got 18 offers, but 14 rejections is still rough...i feel tho i wouldve done better if i took the easier path and did A-levels instead of IB....3 subjects and an EPQ, vs 6 subjects, coursework in every one of them, sometimes 3 pieces per subject, and 3 papers per HL and 2 papers at least per SL (+ non calc maths), and EE, and TOK, should've done A-levels.... tho i know its no guarantee, there were a couple pple from my college who were predicted 5-6 A stars at my college and got no uni offers at all...this yr was defo rough for us... cheers to all the school leavers out there who managed to get in anywhere 😀😀

[@LifeofShaan]

Yeah defo agree this year was unlike any other! Loved your dedication... must of been tough applying to 30+ unis!! Well done on all your offers I’m sure you’ll make an amazing dentist! Best of luck :)
