How lenient are RH?

Do you reckon they'd accept A (Geology) B (Maths) C (Chemistry) for a BBB offer for Geology?

Wow. Where did you find those stats?

That's some reassurance.

Anyone know how leniant criminology and sociology is???

I'm not entirely sure but in general RH as a whole is pretty lenient so don't worry about missing your offer by one grade.

Even now royal holloway is more popular?

What do you mean by more popular exactly?

I've read that RH's reputation has increased and because uni has become more compeitive they will be less lenient?

Hmmm not too sure about that. I go to RHUL and I know that last years applications were really low, it was in clearing for quiet a bit of the courses. I think they'll still be lenient because to be honest with you most people have it down as their insurance offer not their firm. Also the reputation has pretty much stayed the same if not dropped (in terms of world rankings anyway) it was 88th in the world now it's like 120-something. Also, their offers haven't changed for the last 2 years so it mustn't be too competitive and so they need to fill up places. They told me on my interview we never accept people with Cs and when I started my course there were so many people with grades lower than those needed.

Thank you! You have made me feel so much better but i know i should still be prepared for the worst incase i dont make ABB for criminology i have no idea how popular the course is! What do you study?

You're welcome. I'm studying in the Biosciences department and we needed ABB but lots of people got in with less. I don't think criminology is very over subscribed; I haven't met anyone studying that course here lol

Hi, just to reassure a friend, what about the History department, and if RH is their insurance?

Am I the only one who thinks that question was badly written?
Translation: Is the History department at RH any good?
I don't really know what the question was in the last bit "and if RH is their insurance".

This was posted from The Student Room's Android App on my U20i

In the context of the topic, how lenient is Royal Holloway's History department if my friend doesn't get the grades, and taking that they are their insurance into account?

That better?
