Anyway, its not certain if I actualy got admitted anywhere. What I know is that I passed one of the tests, and since I had a very good score (80/100 points, compared to my last years 45/100) its probably certain that I will be admitted to my second choice, if I dont make it to the first. But, since there are about 60 canditates for 25 vacancies, I have to make it into the top 25. Which I think I will, tho there is the theoretical chance that I wont.
Lol, sorry if all this is confusing, but thats how it is... The procedure is really, really complicated.
Anyway, 23rd of july is the date when all results have to be known (although I will probably know them earlier), and the signing up is on the 24th. So, there are maximum 8 days to wait. |

Well done Strat! (I've just started getting results day worry, am fairly confident of getting into uni- but which one....?)
On the exams front through, have just received my results for one of my AB music exams (Grade 6 Cello). I scored 100 out of a possible 150- the pass mark is, of course, 100! |

I'd hug you like the little Brother I never had if you were here! I'm so proud of you! As proud of you as my Nephew who just finished his hard school of knocks at VA Tech. and now he's going on to law school. And he has the mind for that stuff. Very independent thinker, I can see how he will make a good Lawyer. We love to hate lawyers but when we need one, damn good thing they are there!
