Anthropology applicants 2015

I applied I think around the same time but I just received an offer from UCL last week. Don't worry though, the application process of these unis is aaaaalways long (unless you applied in september or sth)

Did you have ABB or higher predicted? anthropology seems to be MEGA oversubscribed at Bristol!

Yeah Im predicted AAB.. I ended up declining the offer because I'm just not interested in archaelogy. I agree it seems like it just filled up quickly!

Or i would suggest that you just shouldn't bother with Bristol and focus on your other applications/offers. If you want to study anthropology, there is no reason in studying archeology and anthropology as a minor subject. I denied their alternative "offer" asking why I got rejected and they replied that there were too many applications for the course so they had to blindly reject some.

Yeah I have declined the offer, the joint course is now full too apparently :/

aayyyeee! don't worry about it too much! when i chose ucl, i wasn't hyped about it at all because i was 100% certain i would get a rejection so I didn't want to be disappointed. My prediction grades were just on the border of what UCL asked (36-38) and the offer totally came to me as a surprise soooo try to avoid getting nervous all over about it.

cheers

Has anyone heard back from LSE or UCL for straight Anth?
I applied in early Dec and currently have two offers but these two are taking forever!

I applied in October and I heard back from UCL about a month later (it was my second offer) and LSE in December :smile:

Have you got your 8 week email from LSE yet?

I had the 8 week email about 8 weeks ago! :/
I applied for Archaeology and Anth last year at UCL in October and had to fill out a questionnaire then got an offer in December. I thought applying post-A levels would but less stressful but turns out I was wrong!

Yeah, I just checked my inbox and it took approximately 7 weeks overall for me to receive my LSE offer and 4 weeks for UCL. But I applied in October so I guess there was less for them to look at? I dunno, I'd imagine that because you applied nearer the deadline the unis had a much higher influx of applications to look through at the same time :P
What are your grades like though? I know with LSE my grade predictions were a good few higher than the average offer so that might have made it faster for me.
