Hold on a minute - generic accom application form?

no no no - it's under the section where it says "living outside uni accomodation". I know it's weird and doesn't look like you need to fill it in. It's the first question before you write whether you're a smoker etc.

Looking at the sample form online.. it is there. But is my form like this on purpose (insurance application)? Its really too late for me to spend time dawdling too - http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/t146049.html

On the late/insurance offer application form, State Hall preference should be directly under 'please send me information on affiliation to a student Hall' on the first side. However, when i phoned the accom office, they didn't even know if there was that option on the form, so i just told them to send mine off to Badock first.

Yeh, they are filling up the Halls as and where spaces are available, but I was told by Badock's secretary that the 'vetting' process is still going on, so they're still pairing like minded people off into Badock units at least (this is for single rooms btw). As she said that if she received my application, then she'd give me a place, i'm foolishly getting my hopes up.

I wrote a horribly pretentious Personal Statement for my form. I hope that they've been drinking before they read it... and like my terrible joke about me not having loud music.

Oh dear.

Bah, it doesn't matter how pretentious ur PS was at this stage, although they still vet apps, they're just sticking like-minded peeps together now (remember though, it's the Hall warden/sectretary that actually does the accepting, and they can be quite fussy i'm told...)

When do you think you'll hear back from them, methinks it'll be 10 days max, but i'm getting anxious.

Oh basically I tied the whole PS together with what I've been doing this summer (trying to make out that I'm interesting and not lazy), which ended with me going to Reading Festival.

I said "Finally: and most recently, I went to the Reading music festival with a large group of friends. I have a very eclectic musical taste, although I can assure you that I will not irritate with loud music." And then carried on with stuff about my church and how I'm obviously a good boy. :rolleyes:

Not really a joke; more of a frivolous comment. I think I dropped a GCSE grade due to one of them once.

You sound cool. Want a tip? Ring up the warden at Wills (Donald Shell). Explain your situation lucidly (missing an offer etc.) and tell him how much you would like to go to Wills. Make it clear to him that you have a lot of ex-curric. interests, which would allow you to fit in well at Wills; tell him how you would have applied there, had Bristol have been your first choice.

If you are convincing and polite, I think he'll give you a chance. If there are no spaces, you could ask to be put on the short-list, and wait for people to drop out in the first week. Good luck!
