Sorry I haven't replied for a while, I forget I'd even started this thread!
Anyhow, seen it on new posts and was pleased to see some interesting feedback. Here's an update as far as I'm concerned..
Applied for Aerospace Eng at the following (with a S*&T-hot personal statement)
- Liverpool
- Manchester
- Brunel
- Bath
- Sheffield
So far,
- Liverpool - Interview 1st March
- Manchester - Accepted
- Brunel - Accepted
- Bath - Rejected
- Sheffield - Accepted
Thats based on 3 B's without maths, so for Manc and Brunel they want me to do a foundation year, but does a year make that much difference when looking back? I think it's worth it.
My first choice is Liverpool, so anyone fmailiar with their course? It includes the pilot studies, with the PPL in year 1, then CPL/ATPL theory in year 2/3.
I'm grinning from ear to ear atm, as I received my accpetance from Manchester today. I was also thinking how I could prolong my uni experience.. 1 year foundation, 3 years work, 1 year in industry, 1 year for masters.. thats 6 years of unemployment. woop!
Anyhow, looking at getting airborne (hopefully in a plane!) soon, as I don't go until sept 2008.
Thanks all!
