Received a Durham referal email today! In complete shock because I thought the email they sent out after the rejection on ucas was standard.

I've applied for Sociology and just hoping it isn't going to be full already.

...hopefully this time I won't have to wait 4 months :biggrin:

You are welcome and good luck with your application:yy:
For sure Sociology is highly respected.I just checked and Durham is UK 3rd in the CUG league table:

Still waiting for Maths...? If you are this late are you unlikely to get your first choice college (St Marys). Also what time of day do offers come through..? And do they come through on weekends?!
I've applied to Kings and Royal Holloway for BA Geography. I saw the Health and Human Science course at Durham, however I really wanted to pursue a Geography career - so I thought the BA would be more beneficial. Now I am really regretting not putting Durham. :-( Do you think I should take a gap year and reapply or maybe decline all my choices and apply through Extra. I don't know what to do!

Hi everyone, just received my offer for Ancient History at Durham, asking for AAA. Dunno how to feel, as I initially applied for Ancient, Medieval and Modern History. My other 4 offers are all 'History' so i'm not sure what to do. I really need to look into the courses more. Relieved I have heard back from all 5 now.
Just received a conditional offer from Durham university for Law!

Congratulations - you will love it here!
I'm going to the Monday/Tuesday post application open day at St Chad's and it says on the open day guide that there is a formal dinner. It says girls should wear a "dress, skirt or trousers and blouse". Does anyone know whether they mean a business style/office outfit or a dress up/party outfit?

Well done! Where are your other offers from? I would definately look into the courses more and visit the unis again to see which one will be best for you

Thank you very much! My offers are:

Kings College London - History (AAA)
Durham - Ancient History (AAA)
York - History (AAA)
Sussex - History (Uncond if firm, AAB if insurance)
Queens Belfast - History (ABB)

My firm would be between York and Durham, and I think my insurance will be Queens. Kings offers an amazing course, but I think it'd be a little bit too expensive for me, and the networking wouldn't benefit me as much, as I am considering teaching or something along those lines.

So i'm pretty much stuck between History at York and Ancient History at Durham. I love both courses and universities. Visiting York next weekend, and Durham when they tell me what college I've been allocated to.
just firmed Durham for Physics. Always intended to, but since my offer is unconditional wanted to wait to see if I'd get a St Andrews offer. I did... but I firmed Durham! So see y'all in Chads in October :smile:
