Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012

Scroll to see replies

Yeah, embarrassingly enough I got an offer for MORSE last year (for 2011 entry) but missed it - I got A*A*BB. I'm not sure how good it'll look retaking and then reapplying but y'know, I really am desperate to do MORSE! I'll email the admission guys soon... The only hope I have is that I think the maths department give out offers to resit applicants and then hopefully i can meet that and then transfer to morse. That's why I'm thinking of applying to both...

You realize you need to get a grade in STEP too?

Is it common for people to be rejected with predicted grades A*AA with f.maths?
I'm so worried :s

Relax, you'll most likely get an offer. The issue isn't so much about getting the offer, but rather meeting it.

Just for maths, MORSE isn't dealt with by the maths department.

For Math, you have the added pressure of STEP (although, arguably, that's also there for MORSE/MathStat, depending on your A level grades, or if you want to snag that cash incentive).

If you do well in STEP/AEA you get a few ton. The quantities of which i'm not sure of.

Do they class Accounting as a soft subject? I'm doing 4 subjects, Maths,furthermaths,economics and accounting, will my offer not include accounting in it?

This year, it was consisted of a one time award of £500 if you scored a 1 or higher on the STEP.

I applied for MMORSE today, I am bloody terrified but I sent it nice and early - also I meet the standard offer. Just a case of waiting, biting my nails and regaining consciousness.

And guess what? I have applied to MMORSE around that time too and it took me 6 months to get an offer from them. So good luck, and be patient!

What if you acheived a 1 in STEP I in yr 12 (so you "probably" do not have to sit it again)? :colone:

Probably will stick to Warwick maths; hopefully won't need to do step again.

On the flip side of things, there's a number of people who got a MORSE offer in November and December. I got my MathStat offer around then.

People who got their interviews at November and December for MORSE all got offers from Oxbridge, and I guess I'm one of the maybe pile...

Three people that I met during the interview aren't coming to Warwick with me, so I dunno... Good luck to you anyway!
