There are bits n bobs of support available through cowa. And plenty of people on the course take part time work, one worked in pizza express as a waitress, some worked in the hospital, i just stuck to pimping at the weekends.

Im thinking of applying to COWA for their access to medicine course- however im slightly worried about my double science GCSE grades- taken back in 2001 when the subject didnt appeal to me- i recieved DD. COWA state a C grade must be achieved? Since then i went on to do A levels in Geography, Media and Food Technology and achieved AAB, I then read Geography at Loughborough university from 2003-2006 and recieved a high 2-1.

Basically, i wondered how much precedence COWA put on the GCSE grades?

n.b- my other GCSE results were all A*-C, with BB in English and C in Maths

Any help would be appreciated,
Many thanks.

Contact admissions and dont take their first answer if its no, keep pestering them. It work for me and I have an interview next month and they have already requested references, so hopefully thats a good sign!

Hi guys, I recieved an email with an interview date document, and also accomodation listing document, and a student guide document. However before I recieved the email, I recieved the following email:

An email has been held by the College of West Anglia email system. It has been held for further investigation and may be deleted to protect the College of West Anglia's systems. It appears to breach the College of West Anglia's email policy and as such has been categorised as: Encrypted Messages

The original message was sent by : ********@col-westanglia.ac.uk

This is, unfortunately, standard practice for many viruses and spam emails.

Not sure what that means....? Anyone else had this, or should I contact the college?

[renascer]

I got that too. I assume its the college email scanning software, witholding the email that you recieved until it had scanned the attachements.

Scott.

[ethaniha]

Yeah, I got that too. Wouldn't worry about it - it was in response to a query I sent which was later replied to, so I am assuming it is just a software glitch or an over-enthusiastic piece of anti-virus software as I didn't even include an attachment. Congratulations on the interview )
