    Here we go!

    Had a long heart-to-heart with hubby at lunch and he thinks I should just go for it this year and go all out (rather than saving some universities for next year - a not-great idea anyway).

    So, here we go! And I'll take whatever offer I get this year rather than wait it out for Bristol.

    Good luck everyone!

    Cheers

    wow, great news... I'm sure you'll make it this year! tbh, I can't say it was easy but I'm glad I'm here if I hadn't have put a 4th choice, then I would be in the same situation again- and I just don't think I was what Soton was looking for...

    good luck!

    Thanks! Have you started yet? How very very exciting. Are you keeping a blog or anything?

    yup, started on Sept 1st so well into the course now

    It's going to be a long year, 45 weeks for the GEP course but yes, the first few days were a bit surreal...

    Sorry, no blog.. (too old for that sort of thing.. )

    Congrats Vicky.

    Your family truly loves you, and you have an especially great hubby.

    You never know we may be at Kings together.

    If you do go Kings and I'm in London, and you need a flat mate, feel free to give me a yell! :-)

    Heheh Martigan,

    We'll probably all move to London so I'll be in some family home in a burb with a horrible commute.

    I'm slightly worried about my UKCAT score for the GEPs (especially GKT or should that be KCL.... I have no clue... urgh) but we'll see how it goes.

    Cheers
    Vicky

    I'm in the burbs. Glad the family is comimg with you. It would be pretty hard on you if they didn't.

    Your UK cat looks pretty good to me. Call Kings and ask them. they are really helpful.

    Have you though about the Southampton BM4? A lot cheeper to buy there.
