For a PhD you do not need MSC. Ask her why she is not willing to take you now. Do not go for it, if it has to be self funded. Getting good PhD students is like Recruiting Skilled labour at a fraction of the cost. IF it is self funded than think what it is?.
BTW, PhD is next step. You need not thinking about this now.

=============================
The Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) was introduced on 1 November 2007 and is an essential part of the UK’s commitment to Counter Proliferation. Its aim is to help stop the spread of knowledge and skills that could be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery.
The ATAS is specifically designed to ensure that those applying for postgraduate study in certain sensitive subjects do not acquire knowledge that could potentially be used in WMD programmes.
Do Iranians have money to burn? I know they got oil as an alternative!!! Give up WMD program (if you have one) and send oil in gift packs to get a clearance?
I totally agree with TPhD. Substance abuse is not a grass root problem. It could be a consequence of problems like what TPhD has mentioned. I started smoking to end the continuous pain my brother tried to inflict on me, when there was no obvious solution. It killed my brain cells and a major relief for time being.
That was not the source of my problems? Every doctor/counselor would emphasize finding the root cause very much like the last post...well done Thumbs up
This is horrible! Believe me I know families where a super bright sibling was toppled to the bottom due to such comments. I have 3 GPs among my siblings, super rich and successful who behaved very much like your brother in their teens and even <=25. My parents were always more(90%) concerned about their well being and in the process I was very much neglected.
I was into self destruction phase for almost 10years, but still trying to recover due to my sensitive nature. A sadistic person only flourishes on your pain. I hope your brother is not that kind of person, the problem could be very simple like hating your friends etc.
You are very young and so is your brother. In most cases maturity comes with age. So try to remain focused about the things you do. Try to safeguard your health, sanity by dealing such issues with logic rather than with anger. best of luck
I totally agree with Ady. Straight forward explanation and no hole in the pocket as well.
Although, I would say that the question lacked any clarity that is needed at a doc level..
Perhaps, Sneaks could explain how she coded her interviews? Was this with a Morse Key?
My teachers always emphasized that PhD is all about twisting appearance, easy>difficult
and vice versa!!!
