Same here - my careers guidance form was apparently one of the most

I applied to Reading Uni to do a BSc in Meteorology and was accepted but
only if I did a foundation year first. This was because I didn't have
A-level maths (but I did have A-level physics). At the time I didn't want to
do a 4 year degree so I ended up doing Applied Environmental Sciences with
meteorology at Middlesex Uni.

Ironic really, because I spent the next 8 years at various universities
studying for a BSc, MSc and PhD........ I always wonder whether I made the
right choice by turning Reading Uni down. Oh well.
