Birmingham interviews, 2010 entry

[champ7]

I got the letter on the 13th November.

[Greys Anatomy :)]

Ah okay thanks, do you midn telling me what you got for your gcse's?

[champ7]

11 A*'s and came nationally in the top 10 marks for gcse Business Studies, gcse ICT, gcse Statistics.

[champ7]

Really? What board because 6 of mine were AQA and I was confident my science might be but they said that they are not doing the top 5 thing anymore in 2008.

[magpie7]

Ditto, albeit the fact that all but one of my G.C.S.E.'S was placed in the top 5 within the U.K.

Bullshit lol

More than 5 people will get 100% in a given GCSE exam, hence someone in the top 5 would have scored the same as someone in the top 100 or so.

[champ7]

I agree because I heard it equates to top 5% someone from my school got one in chemistry the last year they actually gave them out in 2007. As far as I know in 2008 only edexcel gave them out and I got 3 letters.

[champ7]

When was this 2007 and AQA. Because AQA didn't do this award in 2008 I rung them up.

[magpie7]

I was informed my results were within the top 5.

No, you weren't lol

I got 100% in a few of my GCSEs, that means I would HAVE to be in the top 5; but I got nothing. Oh, and as for any 'exam board' crap excuse you're gonna throw at me, my school takes GCSEs with all 4 major exam boards.

Like I said, what if 6 people got 100% (many more would have), would only 5 of those be in the top 5, regardless of the fact they all achieved the same?

You've failed... Please do not dig yourself in any deeper hole.

Unless of course you can provide a link to the headed and footed letter from the exam board saying so. (I'll assume you won't go to great lengths to forge one.)

[magpie7]

Believe what you like, I presume you didn't get within the top 5 hence the great dissaproval.

Read again... I got >> 100% << in some of my GCSEs.

I would >> HAVE TO BE << within the top 5 as a result; unless of course people were scoring 110% in their exams?


Besides, you're not even directly replying to my arguments... But rather going completely off track to state something irrelevant; most likely due to the fact you've been caught out.

Hey, quick question its not about interviews but I read originally that only AAA offers were made but then i read somewhere else on the Birmingham website just now that a general offer is AAB/AAA...I'm pretty sure I got told AAA but was just checking, does anyone know? And anyone else have interview 2nd december?

Thanks guys.
