Progressing to uni. Unit 6.

So after this course I'm looking to go to uni, like most.
Step one. Look on UCAS at what courses there are available. I searched 'media' and got 1301 results. I did have a quick skim though the few pages but decided that I should narrow my search down.
After an hour or so of searching I still felt lost in a mass of options.

A week or so later I went to the UCAS fair in Manchester and spoke to a hand full of unis. I think this helped a lot as I could find out more information from them, rather than just reading course descriptions online.  I left with the idea of going to Leeds or any of the three in Manchester. (Man Met, Salford and Man central.)

With in the weeks following the UCAS fair my tutor offered me a direct entry to a BA Filmmaking course at Man Met. I quickly put my name down and eagerly awaited to find out if I had made it. Due to my triple distinction I got from last year I made it. Now I had to apply though UCAS the usual way but only for that course at Man Met.

They have replied to me requesting my GCSE results and any others that I wish to share with them.
Now I wait even more for a reply from that. Had I known this was going to be such a faff I think I would have preferred applying to more places the usual way.
Although I'm sure I will enjoy my time at Man Met.
