http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/08/20/article-0-061E4D37000005DC-638_233x423.jpgBright: Amelia Al-Qazzaz has 10 A grade A'Levels and will study physics at university in September

An A-level student has picked up five top grades today to add to the five As she achieved last year.

But Amelia Al-Qazzaz, 18, was turned down by Oxford University despite her remarkable achievement, and will take physics at Imperial College, London, instead.

The Teesside High School pupil, from Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, picked up As in biology, chemistry, French, further maths, sport and PE.

She already has As in physics, maths, computing, business studies, and general studies.

The bright pupil completed her GCSEs by the age of 14, achieving 13 passes at A or A*, and then entered the sixth form at Teesside High School.

She took five A-levels early but was still too young to go to university, so continued to take another five at the independent school in Eaglescliffe.

As well as excelling academically, Amelia was the school's sports captain and performs publicly on the piano and violin, for which she has achieved grade 7.


I guess this is acceptable, right?
Bigotry, just because her surname is "AL Qazzaz" it starts with "AL" "Q" Al Qaeda


Now we can all argue this and that but it's clear why she was turned down.

[mrmoney]

Some people may do well academically, but maybe due a bad interview or lack of interest in their chosen subject, will be rejected.

It's not all about grades.

In some cases it's true but I have a feeling that in this case, it was something else, of course we can't prove their real intentions behind the decision.

As I said we can all speculate, I have this feeling it has a lot to do with her name.

[rosix]

what if it was because she had the personality and creativity of a plank? it's not clear at all why she was turned down you moron, her fault for trying to play in a game that's fucked from the start.

I have a feeling that its down to her background and genetics personally...but yes Im speculating :)
Perhaps its a good sign

[lottie]

There has been a lot in the news a few months back about lack of funding/places for Universities etc etc.. so even those that make the grades cant get in... they increased the intake amount but as a result of a campaign to encourage people to go to Uni.. they've had an influx and cant cope so unfortunately people are getting turned down!! (so they say) :)

[mistress_medusa]

Yes, I thought that too. How many of us have been for a job interview, knowing you had all the relevent experience and still been turned down? Perhaps they didn't care for her personality or maybe someone with similar grades had more to offer??

To be honest..I know this is terrible of me but I was more suprised with the fact that this brilliant girl was a fellow Teessider!!! It's not often we're in the news for something good :p

Good point.

I worked with planks with degrees, fcking clueless and were very dim, enjoying chat shows during the lunch break.

Many can robotically pass exams but be rather dim. I am not in anyway saying that's what this case is about though mind.

Einstein would never have made Oxford..

[grannymoose]

i hate to say this but my lad cam home today branding 6 A's.
I have no idea how becouse he's a foooking plank! this is a kid that didn't even understand that we go around the sun, other things are just to stupid to mention.
some things wrong with education or the tests they take don't mean jack.

Smacks of the same old elitism. Sickening to think my taxes fund this.

Universities like Oxford and Cambridge are only meant for the elite and their bloodline minions.

No bloodline, no place......regardless of how many examination hoops you have jumped through.

Or am I being cynical to the extreme? :rolleyes:

that thread y'know.. it was a joke - an honest joke mind U - I was making a point about the premature burial of Katy Perry

[dreamweaver]

Isn't that always the case :p

Which wife? His first wife, Mileva Marić, from 1903-1919? Or his second wife, Elsa Löwenthal, from 1923-1936?

Just curious, seeing as he wrote his first papers in 1902 and continued his scientific work during, between and after his marriages... ;)

There probably is a grain of truth in it, especially in the case of Mileva, in the sense that some bright couples do bounce ideas off each other. And then there's also the fact that Einstein had the sort of intelligence that enabled remarkable insights into specific topics while being pretty inept with most everyday stuff - he sounds like a typical Asperger's case.

But apart from that, there's no tangible evidence of either of his wives contributing to his theories.

Right, I'm off to start a thread about how my cat gave David Icke all his ideas. ;)

Sorry, that's just not true.

As to the original topic, there are plenty of people with all kinds of surnames and ethnic backgrounds studying at Oxford.

Way to rationalize your rejection letter. ;)

[rosix]

For an average human-being, getting the grades this girl is said to have got is all about work input and essentially training a lop-sided robotic brain. You will find that most of the TRULY brilliant people, the incredibly gifted, will very often score above-average but not top-tier grades for things like A-levels etc.

People who take up jobs being repeaters (a tonne of 'respected' jobs are just that, repeating what you've been told/taught to repeat at certain points etc.) are just biological hard-drives aren't they?

[wakeupworld]

I am so proud I didn`t gain entry to Oxford or Cambridge, I would have been just another left brain robot and thought the NWO was a very poor music band.

[siriusc]

Could it be a combination of her surname and gender??:rolleyes:

[rosix]

gender? does it say that she's feminine or masculine? or do you mean SEX?

... it's appalling how MORE PEOPLE THAN NOT don't actually know what the word "gender" means.

:D Maybe that could be the case - but my opinion comes from talking to people who went through the system and don't rate the system of earning degrees....regardless of the campus.

Personally I think the University system locks people into a mindset rather than encouraging them to expand their intellect.

It is a conditioning system - albeit an elite one.

We live, we learn and we can all be duped at some stage or other. :rolleyes:

BTW - I never applied for University admission, anywhere - It was an option but I didn't go there....too busy trying to enjoy life and make cash LOL

Feeling good now? :D
I thought you were going to comment on the article but yes of course only a moron like myself would think such a thing.
Can we go back to the topic now?

Why would I be feeling good now?
I have been commenting on the article, multiple times.
Yes, let's get back on-topic - except there's really not much of a topic, some girl didn't get into a prestigious university despite having extremely high grades, the girl happens to have a family-name that sounds very Islamic, and the sooner she realises there were and are better things to be spending time on than bending over backwards to get into Oxford, the better! (my opinion) :)

Nope, its a massive generalisation

[song_of_susannah]

I know from personal experience that someone from a so-called underprivileged background can become an Oxbridge Student, it's fairly unusual but it does happen.

The numbers of people from ordinary backgrounds gaining entry are actually falling not rising and the top Universities are under pressure to improve the situation.

It is still a breeding ground to empower the Ruling Elite granted, but don't assume every single student wants to be part of the Establishments nefarious agenda.

Formal education when incorporated with an open mind can be a positive thing.

[romas]

I must say I'm ignorant what it could be, but I'm still curious, she seems perfect repeater, read shit, remember that shit and regoregitate on command. Maybe the agenda is changing? Is state in charge of Oxford or it's a private corporation?

Its a family affair

[adbasque]

Nope, its a massive generalisation

Remember the Elite will always do things in stealth, they don't want to make things so obvious, a lot of people who join Oxford and Cambridge are usually students from the well off and wealthy families.

This is not a massive generalisation.

They allow certain students from a less privileged backgrounds so they don't make it look too obvious.

[dolores1]

They probably know she would not obey the brotherhood. And they hate real indepentant thinkers.

[foobar]

Over half the students at Oxford went to state schools. The idea that everybody there is from some elite family is a myth, although there is a higher proportion of pupils with very wealthy parents than a lot of other universities.

A-Levels and GCSEs are worthless these days. Over the years the government has made them easier to make it look like they are raising education standards.

There's 100's of 1000's who can't get tickets for Man Utd, totally irrelevant but wholly pertinent to the price of cheese.

Yes, surely if she had been accepted to Oxford she would of gone on to save the World from elitist tyrants & delivered us all unto utopic splendour.

Plan B?

[bendelapidate]

Her bloodline was not reptilian enough for Oxford.
