Yay, well done! I would have liked this but TSR says I've reached my limit today already.... ooerr.


Thank you! Even if I don't get an offer from Cambridge (which is pretty likely) I still think applying has been worth it - it made me get my application in early and if I hadn't done so I 'd probably barely have started my PS by now, never mind be sitting on four offers! :biggrin:

Where have you applied/are you applying? :smile:

EDIT: Also, I hate running out of +rep too! :tongue:

Yeah, my friend applied to Oxford but he's already ended up with two offers from really good universities - RHUL and Exeter :smile: so now, obviously he does want Oxford but he's still got really really good choices if he doesn't get it :smile: So jealous!

I applied for History to Leeds (x2), RHUL, Cardiff and Sussex :biggrin: Only sent off my application on Friday and it's already doing my head in :wink: silllyy.

Haha. Yeah, you soon start checking your emails/Track every five minutes just in case! :tongue:

I'm glad to see someone else who has applied for two courses at a single university! I very nearly applied for three courses at Nottingham but thought it might be a bit too far! :smile:

I take country-specific A level exams which do not have A* grades. Hence the offer is AAB.

I do realise that I'm incredibly lucky but I guess it has to do with the fact that I'm a non-EU international!

Well my course's have a big grade difference - I've applied for straight History which is AAA and History and Sociology which is ABB. So I'm hoping it will at least show my dedication to the Uni - really want to go there :smile:

Yeah it should do - they'll be pleased that you want to go there. That's what Nottingham told me after I emailed them asking if it would mkae me look indecisive, anyway - it makes you look eager to go to their uni.

I applied to both courses because they are similar but have slightly different standard offers. My preferred course's is AAB-ABB while the other's is ABB-BBB. In the end I got ABB offers for both courses! :tongue:

Wow, so I could get two offers :tongue: Never even thought of that option, assumed two rejections or only one offer!

Yeah, it obviously depends on the university but I think most would be quite ahppy to give you two offers if you're good enough.

When I emailed them they pointed out that they wouldn't be able to see my other application because the other course was dealt with by a different department. They also said that two applications to the same department would not put me at any disadvantage - each application is treated separately and fairly. :smile:

Applying for 3 Law courses and 2 English...I know, probably a poor move. But I can't make my mind up.
Durham - English Literature
St Andrews - English
Aberdeen - Law
York - Law
Queen's Belfast (hometown) - Law

Think they're all looking for AAA or A*AA (Durham) but Aberdeen wants ABB so it's an insurance.
GCSES - 10A*s
AS Levels:
English Lit - A
Music - A
Physics - A
Class Civ - B (dropped, broke my heart. Favourite subject by far!)
A Level Predictions - A*A*A*
