York Applicants 2012!!

Thanks for the news It's good to hear that they don't reject unsuccessful PPE applicants outright! and congrats on your offer.

Declining my offer for Law...

What are you putting as your firm/insurance?

SOAS as firm, Leeds as insurance. These were my only 3 options.

That's great to know, really! :-) Where else have you applied?

The politics department hasn't sent any off as it stands! Shouldn't be too long now though I can't imagine they'd wait right up until the deadline! (well I hope not anyway)

Yeah and from speaking to teachers and other students apparently York normally take forever anyway! But we can hope they don't leave it to the last possible moment!

Finally got an AAB offer for English today after a three month wait! Planned to firm Leeds as I was so sure I'd get rejected from York but now I'm not sure, has anyone looked at both?

Is any one else still waiting for Social Policy? It's been two, nearly three months! I'd take a rejection just to know at this point!

Is that for English as in Q300?

I went to an open day at York yesterday. My first impressions were not too impressed with the look of the building very 60s looking, but the insides are very different, its well equipped and the teaching staff (for history) were amazing. So if your not to bothered about the cosmetic look then I'd seriously firm York

That's strange. I sent my application to UCAS at 20th December 2011 for Social Policy degree. Tbh, I was conditionally offered first by York at 16th Jan 2012. I'm applying through my HND Business(Management) with DMM result because I had two weak grades at A Level (geography, business studies) at D,E (seriously). Plus, I'm mature and had more than 5 years working experience.

My offers:
York - Conditional BBB (16th Jan 2012). Recently, I got a 6.5 band IELTS to satisfied their requirement = Firm/Insurance
Leeds - Rejection ABB (20th Jan 2012) = I failed my GCE Maths
Swansea - Unconditional BBB (26th Jan 2012) = Decline
Kent - Unconditional ABB (3rd Feb 2012) = Firm/Insurance
Birmingham ABB - (Pending up till now) = No idea

Actually, I'm in dilemma right now . To firm either York (1994 group) or Kent. Perhaps, both are very competitive, reputable and excellent research in Social Policy (RAE 2008 assessment) and high satisfaction in National Student Survey. Course-wise I slightly prefer York's course modules over Kent. But, Kent's location is much desirable and closer to London. I don't know if Birmingham (russell group) is better than those two in terms of course-oriented and dedicated lecturers especially in Social Policy subject.

It's better to hear from anyone who had experience about this.

I got my january resit mark back this morning, now have A*A*A overall and i've told York and sent them my scanned in results slip. Hopefully that might make them hurry up a bit!
