UEA Applicants 2015

Original post by bittr n swt

When they get Russell group status come back to me.

Who cares if they have Russell Group status? Certainly not the majority of students who apply/go there! And what they think is more valuable than those who disregard it as a good uni simply because it is not a Russell Group one :smile:

Maybe I just don't understand what's so amazing about Russel Group uni's compared to those who rank highly and are not a part of the group...

Got an email saying my offer to study English and American Lit has been upgraded to unconditional if I firm UEA (which I've been planning to do since I first visited). I'm beyond amazed!

I got the same thing with Law on Thursday; absolutely delighted.

You too!

And yeah, it said I had a conditional offer from the UEA (Because it needs to go as firm choice to be unconditional). Just waiting on my other offers coming in, then I'll put it as the firm choice.

It just got upgraded to an unconditional if I put UEA as my firm choice. So I guess I'm definitely going to UEA next year! :smile:

Did your offer appear as "conditional" in UCAS Track?

Has anyone applied to both Liverpool and UEA? I have a conditional offer for psychology from both unis but I can't seem to decide. I'm leaning slightly towards UEA though... :s-smilie:

I also have a (conditional!) offer for the same course. :biggrin:

Ignore what's being said about numbers on the course - I've heard that it's a difficult course to get onto as it's quite popular.

Well done!

Do you think UEA will be your firm?

It's so great to know someone else is looking to study the same course, I think only about 3 people from my Sixth Form are going on to study Literature so I'm pretty alone here!

Are you going to any of the applicant days?

And thank you, I'm still shocked they even offered me a place!!! Well done on your offer too :smile:

Sweet! Was worrying as I thought it would change to unconditional but it hadn't then I realised that it will only do that when I firm my place... Silly me :P

I've firmed it now. It took around a day or so from it to switch from conditional to unconditional on track, hope that helps!

I applied for the standard Law course, got an unconditional offer, as long as I firmed it. I have now firmed it, so, I'll be studying at the UEA from September. :smile:

Ah great! Thanks for the info, good to know I need to wait a few days for it to change to unconditional on track :smile:

I'm still waiting to hear back from my other uni's though, so hopefully they'll accept/reject me soon as I really want to firm UEA ASAP!

Congrats! I thought about combining with Philosophy a while back, are you going to any of the applicant days?
