warrenpenalver Report post Posted May 15, 2008 staffordshire university, stoke-on-trent campus. Because im a late application this year due to medical discharge uncertainty i still not sure if i will get in this year, but if not i will get in next year due to thier local students scheme meaning im garunteed a conditional offer for 2009 entry and as i have 340 UCAS points and i only need 280 i should be ok!! Apparently my life experience is more important than grades being a mature student!! At least ive got lots of personal experience in "abnormal psychology" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Mature students either rock or suck, depending entirely on their attitude. At my uni library enquiry desk I regularly see a 50 year old Nigerian guy who is completely bewildered and culture-shocked but also completely happy to have this chance to further his education so late in life. Then there's Complaining Woman - around 40 & in a constant hissy fit cos she says she is the "wrong generation" to get to grips with a computer. Excuse me? I am 12 years nearer my pension than her & I manage to cope despite having been out of the workplace raising my kids when the techno revolution took place. I am guessing you will rock, Warren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warrenpenalver Report post Posted May 16, 2008 thanks pearl! I hope the admissions team think so too!! My chosen uni had a woman who graduated at 81 so age these days is literally no barrier to a degree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
