I wanted to rate how swaggie the above user is, but I don't really leave RR
DONT LET THE PEOPLE ON STAGE LEFT KNOW THE SCRIPT
Harvard has pretty low International ratings and stuff, but it's also the best law university, which is looking to be the degree I want to take (either that or maths, but I don't like maths enough to do a degree, I don't think). Pretty much my only chance of getting in is getting straight A's at AS and A*'s at A-level,and then getting my brother in London to speak to his American friend about a sponsorship, as he works in law in New York, and my brothers done a lot for his family.But then, by going there, I'd have to leave family and friends for three years and it's not like if it was say Oxford where I could get a train up reasonably cheapish, I'd have to fly home. Other alternative is Cambridge or Durham, but Durham isn't good enough (imo) to pay £9000 a year for, and Cambridge is the other place I'd prolly be looking at but I'd hate knowing there was a better uni than the one I'd be at.Anyways, I guess I should actually get to 6th a Form and see if I stand a chance at getting the grades before I worry about which one, it's just annoying that had I lived in America I prolly wouldn't have half the problems xD
^That's exactly it. The only way some non trust fund kid to pay for it is a scholarship, but you'd have to be a junior Einstein to get that. Loans, although good in the short term aren't good in the long run. So the plane ticket is the least of your worries Dick.

I did actually point out that problem, stating my only chance would be to get him to sponsor, which given the size of his firm isn't completely out of the question and would come with some form of guarantee of employment,which is perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if I couldn't, but it's still annoying that they make it so difficult to get into Universities that you literally have to get a sponsor / scholarship.
