What do they offer if they expect that you'll end up with a derisory 3rd?

What are UCAS points worth these days? when I applied I needed 24 (3Bs), now I look at jobs and they want a 2:1 and 280 points or whatever?  I know it's meant ot include all sorts of vocational qualifications too, even music exams?

A: 120
B: 100
C: 80 and down in 20's

A (AS Level): 60
B (As Level): 50 etc.

So 2 A's and a B which is what you said above, is 340 points, not 320, is it not.  

Don't do any maths subsidiaries.

Is John Ritson someone you look up to then?

[reeves4england]

Crap. I am going to have to start looking at this kinda stuff soon. The problem is I have no idea what i want to do at uni, so therefore have no preference of uni. So therefore am finding it hard to know which to look at!

[sonicyouth]

what a-levels are you doing dex? i've considered sports journalism but i dropped media after about three weeks.

[strooood]

i've done history and english language A levels already. i've got a D in french As level knocking about aswell  

i'm doing my second year of media now because i only started it last year- im enjoying it, can imagine why people would drop it though. got a high A in AS level so it's just a question of maintaining standards.

as for john ritson, i dont really know, he seems a bit of a wanker but i dont know him. he's got his own column in a local rag. not exactly something to aspire to.

im applying to cardiff too, but they're after ABB or something for a journalism course. iv got no chance of getting ABB but my D in French and my charm might get me in    we'll see. if i dont get the A in media, westminster are after BCB for journalism.
