Ah OK, Thank You!
Strange how the teachers mark it though, a bit unfair really.





Give them a call.
Looking at the system it's quite strange.
They may take that into consideration?

Is that about 67% then?
Yes, it is a pain. You would have thought the most up to date prospectus would give the right info. Oh well. Kent is likely to be my highest offer, if they give me one and I really want to go there. I would be really happy if they gave me an offer of, say, 360 points in total including an A and a B at A level. I would still have to work really hard to attain this but it would be a much more reasonsble offer for me to achieve.

Not much that I can do now as I have already sent it off- reassuring to know that if I did drop a grade it is possible that they will still let me in :biggrin:
Thanks for letting me know. I really really really wish Unis wouldn't do this. Say one grade and then give out another. Durham University have also raised their entry requirements (luckily before I put an application in)

Hoping that I will get the AAB regardless but you never know!

Thanks again,
Obsidian


Sorry, meant to copy you into my last post as a reply to yours above. I quite liked Hull too. Really versatile course but much further away

Nothing yet.. just acknowledgements.

I've hear Kent takes ages to give offers, for most departments it's after deadline.
I'm classing acknowledgement as they have sent me an email to say they have it or given me a log in to their website to track my application :smile:

Last year I applied on 8th October and got an offer on 5th November :smile:


I see you study A&F at Kent! I want to go there. Can you tell me what the atmosphere is like? Also what is your weekly schedule like? How are the lectures and seminars? Sorry for all the questions, I haven't been able to find a post on it.
Thanks!
