You should be fine, a lad in the year above me got BBBC at AS and was predicted AAB (which he got) and was accepted.

Good luck (I'm also applying to Leicester)

Hopefully but Thanks. Which one or two out of your choices do you want to get into most?

Really liked Sheffield as a place when I visited and the business looked pretty good so it'll be between there Manchester and Birmingham (which I haven't visited because I kept changing my mind / had other open days to attend on the same day).
How about yourself?

I really want to get into Nottingham when I visited it was such an amazing place compared to other uni's I went to. But it'll be between that and Lecister, which is actually more like me second choice becuase Aston put thier grades up ( which was initally my second ) = / .

Lancaster Bussiness Studies AAB
Manchester Business Studies ABB ( BEEN OFFERED AAB ) - may as well of applied for the management one!
Nottingham Trent Business Management BBD
Nottingham Trent Business Management In Company ABB
UCLAN Business Management BBD


Lancaster and NTU in company are my 1st choices. Do you think i could email manchester asking them to consider me for the management course instead?

King's are very strict and I know of people who were predicted short of the grades required and were rejected straight out. I would suggest you try get your predicted grades higher or pick another uni, unless you reckon your PS and reference can vouch for the grade.

Applying for
Management at Manchester AAB

Hi Guys!!

This is my first post on TSR. Please help me. Im in a nasty little pickle here.

My profile:
Graduation: 2009- Bachelors in Management Studies -Marketing major (University of Mumbai, India).
Working as a Business Development Manager (Client Servicing) in a reputed start-up (Bulk recruitment sector) 1.5 years (2+ by Sept)

My Problem:
In my university only the Final year scores are considered while awarding the degree. I have 66.5% as my Final year aggregate, which is nothing to write home about, but is pretty decent.
I just got to know that most UK universities consider First year and second year scores as well.
As I had no intentions whatsoever of studying abroad, and also considering it wouldnt have been considered anyways, I messed up my First year and Second year. and now my aggregate score of all three years is just coming up to 59.2%

My Intentions:
I want to take up a reputed MSc in Marketing.
I am quite keen on Warwick (Marketing and Strategy), Bath (Marketing) and Strathclyde (International Marketing).
(Hey you!! stop smiling!!)

My Questions:
1. Would my Work experience in Marketing and Graduation in Marketing balance my poor academics?
2. I have been working full-time along with my Graduation (which is a rarity in India) and have certificates to prove the same. Would this help?
3. Also I am currently pursuing an MA in Advertising and Public Relations (Distance learning). Can I secure a conditional offer for a seat If I secure say a 65% in this course (Final Results by Sep/Oct 2011)
4. I have Voluntary work certificates, extra-curricular certificates. help?
5. Last ditch effort: Will writing a GRE/ GMAT and securing a good score help? (if yes, above how much)

Final word (Phew!)
I know these three courses seem ambitious. Can you suggest me some other MSc courses I can get into despite my poor academics?
If Warwick is say 10 on a scale of ten, how would you rate the recommended universities?

HELP!!

Hi all. I Submitted my application trough UCAS last month. Now I have 5 conditional offers and a hard time deciding which uni to be my firm choice. Could you give me some help on this? My dilema is between Lancaster University/Course: Management (Study Abroad) (N201)/ and The University of Nottingham/Course: Management Studies (N200)/. They are completly the opposite but I know that they are both good. Lancaster is a really small city and that is my only concern because here in Bulgaria I live in a big town and I don't know how the small towns in UK are... I think I would get bored after the third week. And the alternative is the big City of Nottingham. However, they don't have year in Industry which I think is absolute a must ;[ Any suggestions?

P.S: My other offers are from Loughborough, Leeds and Aston.
