I just tried to add my highschool to my profile. When I chose the country, facebook responded with "LOL" appearing beneath the country on my screen... Rrrright.

Quoting novium from 13:50, 15th Jun 2007 Well, my advisor at home told me to never accept an offer of a place in a grad program if the program wasn't willing or able to take me. That means, not willing or able to basically waive tuition, provide housing and a stipend. It's kind of an indentured ser...

Quoting LonelyPilgrim from 22:39, 14th Jun 2007 In most subjects, PhD's are only pursued by persons wishing to go into academia in the US. People wanting a degree that will put them at the top of their professional careers don't usually go much beyond an MA, in most fields. In one example which per...

First of all: Why does a phd take so bloody long in the States?!?
Second: Do all modules that you've ever taken go into your GPA?

Quoting David Bean from 00:12, 10th Jun 2007 Quoting Idealist from 23:40, 9th Jun 2007 Any other ideas on how you would sell a non 2.1 to an employer...even more impressively, how you would sell a failed degree to an employer! Most employers will specify what class of degree they'll accept, so as l...

Quoting Bryn from 12:16, 9th Jun 2007 Quoting fran from 09:41, 9th Jun 2007 What does it mean if it says "eligible for the award of" and then a degree classification? Does that mean they still haven't decided cause I'm a special case or is that what they put for everyone? I just want to know now! I...

What does it mean when the status is ' Interrupted - to Graduate'. What the hell was interrupted?

I think it's normal. I think your "full time student status" is interrupted. ALthough that sounds odd....

What does it mean if it says "eligible for the award of" and then a degree classification? Does that mean they still haven't decided cause I'm a special case or is that what they put for everyone?
I just want to know now!

No, it's not about appealing a grade. It would (in my case) concern something else.

Well, she first got stopped by the police for DUI in September last year. She had her driving license taken away from her, ordered to take part in an "alcohol education program", put on 36 month probation and fined $1500 (which is far less than what she earns in an evening...). She then oddly (no br...

Bump.

What is still missing now: How high is the percentage in the different departments? I'm sure there will be huge differences.

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/academicoffice/ourservices/planning/academic_statistics/2005/table_62.pdf St Andrews is not on there, but overall in the UK 10.3% get a First and 43.8% get a 2:1. In Oxford 22.8% get a First, 62.9% get a 2:1, in Cambridge 22.5% get a First, 57.4% a 2:1, at Warwick ...

Has anyone here ever appealed against/ for anything? Did it work out or not?
Does anyone know of any successful appeal cases?

Just out of curiosity: What subject are you and where did they accept you for a postgrad?

Apart from that (to everyone now): Does anyone know of any successful appeal cases?

Quoting classydriver from 11:49, 4th Jun 2007 The 11th of June message was from several years ago that they haven't taken down. The departments have to report there module results to Registry BY today. Which means anything reported over the weekend will be uploaded tonight. Registry only work Monda...

Okay, so which schools' grades are up so far?

Besides: Is there any good reason for checking before the 11th of June? I mean: Could I do anything???

Quoting LonelyPilgrim from 18:01, 2nd Jun 2007 The original post wasn't pointless. The point of the original post was just to point out the oddity that the article the poster read listed the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th place universities by name, but failed to mention the 4th place university - St ...

Quoting Lid from 18:01, 1st Jun 2007 Quoting MacMan from 15:48, 1st Jun 2007 Hmm, apparantly a Scottish university is not considered by this magazine as being in the UK. I don't think that was the intended point, it left us off the list, but it left a gap for fourth place, it's not like it bumped t...

I have a deadline on Monday and some of the most important information for that is online in a .zip file. I don't have internet in my flat and none of my friends have a printer, so I'll have to use a uni classroom PC. However, it always says "StuffIt Expander- Error or Warning: The data read from th...
