Where did you get this information? Can you prove it at all, or is it just numbers you pulled from somewhere? I mean absolutely no disrespect, I'd just like to see these for real myself.

It's true that Taylor's has a good "reputation" or is more famous. But remember that not all teachers at Taylor's are great (at either campus), or at whichever other school where you've heard of "good teachers".

Educationally, you cannot be certain if any or all of your teachers are good because you won't get to choose (or check them out before starting classes) - this could be subjective as well. I get better grades (in all subjects) than some people (students taking the same subjects), but they think one particular teacher is good while I think that teacher is bad. At the same time I think some other teachers are great, while those students think they (the teachers) aren't.

If you like Taylor's' environment, go for it. If you like Methodist's, go for it. I have met students with extremely poor results from both schools.

By the way, you're not an undergraduate yet. If you're in Malaysia, there is little advantage of attending one school over another when it comes to applications to universities in the UK or otherwise (even though I might have naively believed something along these lines at an earlier point). Don't believe me? Apply for university courses, then get back to me.

It's not just Taylor's (or Sunway, or Help, or KYUEM, or wherever) which will get you into Oxbridge or other schools in the golden triangle, or other top institutions in the UK/Ireland/Australia/USA/Canada/Singapore/Hong Kong etc. Your applications depends heavily on luck, results, timing, competitiveness of the particular course and school, personal statement, possibly interview, and possibly entrance tests. You do all the work, the school is just a place where they teach you A levels (or try) and send your application through.

In case anyone is wondering, you can specify your school on your UCAS application, though for overseas/international students' university applications the schools (in the UK) will not bother (with this information). Most schools in Malaysia send their applications through Mabecs anyways.

When you're studying for your degree, the actual school you're at might matter, and in some places, quite a lot.

While K-I-R-A claimed certain numbers with regards to admission (quote "No. of students (from Taylors) admitted into"), you posted numbers which were supposedly the number of offers made (for the universities named) in response - I have 3 offers and expect all 5, and a couple years ago students could apply for 6 places, plus offers are not admissions.

Of course you've also posted a link to 2009 admissions. They should have the 2010 admissions information, a lot has changed since 2009.

I also disagree that Cardiff and Manchester are "top universities". Regardless, everyone has a different opinion, and rankings are not always reflective of reputation and credibility.

A high pass rate can be glorified, but a pass at A level is a grade E, which takes little effort from a normal student, given that the student has had at least nearly 1 to 1.3 years of preparation.

The lack of comparative and seemingly voluminous yet deceptive data from some other schools does not mean we should automatically trump Taylor's and discredit others.

To the OP: Why Taylor's vs Methodist? Why have you ruled out other schools?

LOL I didn't realise that.
