Yes it is. I believe the reason is that they've put me on some kind of "border line" list, waiting to see whether there are some places left to fill up before the 5th of May. I sent it on the 15th of January.

I'm thinking, however, to ask for a switch to a straight econ course in case they give me an offer - PPE doesn't seem to be so econ oriented like its Warwick analogue if you look at the modules, for instance. What's your opinion on that?

Did you apply after the deadline? Straight econ is apparently very competitive and so while I wouldn't think it's impossible, It's probably harder to switch to that than say industrial econ or philosophy and economics, for example. Best bet is to email the admissions team

Well you see PPE has the same requirements as straight econ and they're both administrated by the school of economics, so unless they have serious issues with places I don't think it will be a problem. By the way no, I didn't apply after the deadline - but I did send them some of my previous grades which might be holding me back. (I'm Italian and previous grades don't matter so other unis didn't ask for those). If I put notts as my firm, what would you advice for insurance between UEA and Southampton? (Economics or PPE).

You should definitely email the school in that case, Notts didn't take nearly as long for me and I think other EU applicants, especially as they give out accommodation on a first come first serve basis for those who has firmed them only. I'm not too sure about the other two unis, but based on hearsay Southampton seems to be the better one

All the catered ensuites were gone, there's still loads of shared bathroom accomodiation left in UP. I really wanted an en-suite lol, hate sharing bathrooms with a passion

Do you really think that they'll not allow us to use the catering on UP? That's kinda mean if they don't, like fair enough I expect to pay more than you lucky people but still

You can't use the dining rooms in halls, but students on a catered plan use their university card to pay for meals at any of the catering outlets on campus, and If you are not in catered halls you can pay extra to have meals added onto your card, so you can eat at any of the cafes, bars and restaurants. You then get the same allowance as catered students. I'll post a link to the info page.

If you don't want to use the card you can just pay for what you have, when you have it, at any of the catering outlets.

haha its just researching and developing techniques and equipment used by people that work in medicine. After the 4 years I'll have to do a further 3 year STP with the NHS which gives me a masters at the end of it.
Its highly possible :biggrin:
