Alright mate, ive applied as a specialist aswell, im off to raleigh in july, i applied last august! dont worry bout the wait, it gives you a chance to decide if its really what you want to do. you dont wanna rush. gives you more time to get fit aswell. in a way its been better to wait.

Waiting a year to get in gives you a year to get fit think positive :wink:

Fair point dunkers. I was looking at a fair wait in 86 when I joined but I nagged them a little and managed to grab a place that had been turned down by someone else at the last minute.

If you really want to do it - then it will be worth the wait.

Don't waste the year. if your education is lacking in maths or English then get enrolled in a course at your local college of knowledge and improve your grades.
