Architecture Applicants 2014

if you're not going to be predicted A*AA then i wouldn't apply to bath... i'd push for the AAA prediction too (i'm sure you already are ), as without it you'd be limiting yourself to where you can apply, as most of the unis i looked at were pretty adamant on having the three A grades for entry to the course

Hi

I'm planning on going for Edinburgh, Strathclyde, Liverpool, UCL and maybe Bath. But I only got BBBC in my AS results, (art, phys, chem and maths), I'm predicted AAB/AAA but should I apply for Bath being AAA* is there any point or not ?

I would kind of agree, but at the same time there was a fair bit of clearing this year (as places as 'high ranking' as Cardiff and I know people who missed a grade (got lower than three As) and got in

Does anyone know if Oxford Brookes and Nottingham require interviews? I've entered both unis into my choices on UCAS. From what I know, OB interviews applicants while Nottingham doesn't interview or ask for a portfolio, but I got the little orange warning text (the one that says "You may be asked for an interview/audition/portfolio/etc" for Nottingham, yet not OB. Is the UCAS website just outdated?

I've decided I'm applying to Cambridge, Bath, Edinburgh, UCL and Cardiff all ready to send my application!

There's a very high chance that we might end up meeting each other in the future

Aha it definitely sounds like it, very similar choices! How's your application going?

Are 2014 applicants current AS students? Or are current AS 2015.
Sorry about this, am a bit confused!

EDIT: After reading this I'm guessing AS students are 2015?

Ask yourself honestly, is an AAA/AAB prediction realistic? It's not just about getting offers, you have to meet them too.

Why not Newcastle instead of UCL, if you don't mind me asking?

All done, just waiting on my reference!

I don't know really, I just never really wanted to live in London, and the course sounded like it was mainly arty, I nearly went for it but changed my mind. I wasn't that bothered about Newcastle but really liked it on the open day!

Me too, my school deadline is next week for Cambridge applications so I'm ready to go!

Anyone applying this Autumn.

So mainly A2 / Gap Year students.

Ah, okay. I personally wasn't initially that bothered about Edinburgh, but I went to open day and loved it It's now one of my top choices

Does anyone else interested in doing an Architecture Applicants stalking page? I guess we probably wouldn't need a whole page, as we're such a small subject, but I could edit something into the first post if people want?

A possible template could be:

Username: ​DummyUser
GCSE Results: 5A*s, 2As, 3Bs
AS Subjects / Results: AABB (Art, Maths, Physics, Geography)
A2 Subjects / Predictions: A*AB (Art, Maths, Geography)
Foundation Year: No
University Choices: Bath, Oxford Brookes, UCL, Sheffield

If anyone wants to do this, post your details and I'll put them in the first post Alternatively, if someone wants to make a stalking page, feel free!

I finally made up my mind, I'm going to apply to: Bath, UCL, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Cardiff...

Anyone finished with their personal statement? I've got so much cutting down to do :/

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I made a shortlist of places I liked, based on entry requirements, course content, league tables etc. Then I went to open days to see them. Then based on all that information, I decided where to apply?
