luckyluke 1 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'd warn against LSE like if you don't have perfect GCSEs. I was told I would probably be rejected with 6 A*s. Why would a university reject you on the basis of your GCSEs? It's the A levels that count, no? It is, but because nearly all LSE applicants are predicted AAA, and they're not allowed to interview (because 40% of their students are internationals), it's the only method they have apart from the personal statement. It's generally only LSE and Durham who are uptight about GCSEs, the rest don't care (including Oxbridge). Make sure your personal statement is awesome then. What are you applying for?

I know a few people doing/have done that course, they seem to really like it, good choice. I wouldn't recommend Oxford, but that's only because the guy at the careers fair I went to when I was 17 was exactly like Tim Nice But Dim.

Talking of Grimsby and Hull, I believe the piece of skin between a vagina and a woman's anus (the female gooch) is known the Humber Bridge because it links 'the fishy bit to the shitty bit'.

And loads of other people also suggested it as the worst place in Britain! I've only been to Doncaster once, and very briefly so I can't comment. However, my friend from their tells me that 'people go to Scunny for their weddings cos it's posh' so I don't dare contemplate just how bad it is.

Guest stevieintoon Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Surprise surprise - Stevie puts Liverpool top of his list! Seriously, have you ever been?? Most people's perception of a place that they think is shit is based on something they've heard. Liverpool has a stigma about it, very much like Newcastle which probably does it a terrible injustice. Nah, Liverpool is a bit of a dump. It does have some very nice areas, but on the whole, it's awful. I've got relatives on Merseyside (Wirral), so I've been down that way more times than I can remember since I was born. You drive through Liverpool from the Motorway to the Mersey tunnels, and it's full of derelict buildings/half-demolished buildings, huge bits of wasteland, and it's not like it's a temporary thing, I've seen it year after year. You think about some of the ugly eyesores of the 60s and 70s in Central Newcastle - thankfully we don't have too many, but central Liverpool is full of them. Outside Lime Street station is pretty bad - you've got St Georges Hall directly opposite the station, which is a lovely building surrounded by awful 60s monstrosities. Admitedly, in the last few years the centre has been tarted up a bit mind. And despite numerous trips to see us away at Liverpool and Everton, the area around the two grounds is incredibly desperate, and I can't think of a worse, more deprived area I've seen. Cracking post Tom, said it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
