International students and their obsession with UK Universities

I understand why international students would obsess with universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, King's, etc (even local students do :rolleyes:) but not lower tier universities such as MMU and others that I wont list.

Because most of them accept ielts6.5, but they still require you a C or above in English language, so it's kind of confusing.

Let us have a real conversation on racial privilege in America.

White privilege, black privilege, Jewish privilege, Asian privilege. Let us have a real conversation on racial privilege. I would like to see what kind of debate we can have here. Some schools/universities have made hating whites a priority by using the term "white privilege" to hide behind.

Few questions on 'Adjustment'

Hi, I just have a few questions which would be great if anyone could answer. Firstly, my firm choice has offered me AAA but I am studying 4 subjects. If I obtain AAA in 3/4 of my subjects does that mean that I am automatically eligible for adjustment as I will also have a grade in my 4th A-level? Regarding universities going into Adjustme...

Oxbridge and the rest, it's very obvious..

I've been around here for a bit, and noticed some very stupid opinions being presented. Is it not clear to you that Oxford and Cambridge are superior to the other universities? I've seen rubbish like "Cambridge, Warwick, Oxford, Imperial" for Maths Or "Imperial, Cambridge, Oxford" for Engineering, or "Cambridge = LSE > Oxford" for Economi...

Universities distinguishing between IGCSEs and GCSEs?

Do they? I asked my school's head of Universities and he said no, however if they don't why would schools bother adopting them. I was at an international school for mine and felt I did reasonably well with 2A*s, 7As, and a C. However upon changing to a school in the UK it seems the norm was 5A*s for GCSEs. I was always told that IGCSEs we...

FULL BORE ATTACK against WHITE GENOCIDE is launched on WHITE HOUSE PETITION SITE by White GeNOcide Project!!

Does everyone realize how incredibly brazen it seems to the typical American today that a pro-White group (!)

And what a display of power it will be if those petitions begin to get tens of thousands of sig...

iptables fails on COMMIT

I noticed this morning the iptables firewall was not starting due to the fact that I rebuilt the kernel and forgot to include the relevent Netfilter modules. So I added those and rebooted. The firewall still fails, but rather that referring to the non-available ip_tables module, it now just says iptables.init[1290]: iptables: Applying fir...

Can you apply to universities using Advanced Highers only?

I have a feeling that I've done really badly in my Highers this year and I don't think I'm gonna make it to even a conditional at any of the universities.

Why Do We Have To Accept Ourselves To Be Successful?

I hear a lot now, especially on campus, that to be truly successful we have to accept who we are and love ourselves. We are born into societies which expect people to mature and develop as individuals, pressurising us to be 'the best we can be' in an environment where we are surrounded by perfectionism. The result is that we get a generat...
