In my day the grades ranged from U up to A star, but apparently they have now changed to a numerical format. 1 to 9. As if this wasn't already confusing enough, universities are now submitting people, on the basis of these grades. We want to get in to a good university, to study Medicine, and our kid is already the best in her class. But will this be enough.

Splinty @Splinty what grades did you get to be a Doctor?

Thanks.

The key is to avoid D's.

I was on my way to being a doctor myself but I received a D in Religious Studies as a sophomore. Completely destroyed that career path.

Got an E in IT too. Electronics and computers, the two things I work alongside I I got donkey brain grades for them.

I got an A in English speaking and listening and an A in religious education. Good fucking use they turned out

Okay. I got good grades at GCSE. And I've even got a degree. But my kid is top of her class. And we want the best for her!
