I was allowed up to 6 choices, but i only want to go to SOAS, and i have to be in London so i can support myself. the only other course i would consider is Japanese and Russian, but that's in Leeds and Sheffield. and i want to be in London. so SOAS it is.

oh okay.. you could have created a few 'back-up' choices in london. even though its not a course you want to go to, it'll still be a secon choice uni, and if you don't get into SOAS you could go there...

but its up to you, good luck on your application.

I only applied to SOAS. (politics and japanese)
hope i get in!

Fair enough. I only applied to SOAS last year although i actually used up all my choices rather than simply applying for one. Holding 6 unconditionals gives you quite a nice range to choose from when it comes to decision time.

ive applied to economics and chinese, still havent heard anything though. it seems like a really interesting program, only (minor) downside is its 4 years long.
i did get an offer from edinburgh, though, but maybe thats because i already have my IB grades, i graduated last year.

what were your IB grades?
why? 4 years is good, you get to travel to a foreign country to do work expirience there, it should be fun. (unless, i'm confused and the course itself is 4 years, without 'manditory' travel.)

Chinese and Economics is 4 years because all Chinese students (as any other language) spend a year at university in Beijing studying the language. Really for the first 2 years it's almost all about Chinese.

As for offers, last year I got mine early January (economics).

listen. according to some students at SOAS they start giving out offers around x-mas time. so either you'll have a good x-mas present or a bad one.

let me rephrase that - the 4 year thing is great... except for the extra loans i need to take! (im an overseas student). i'd love to live in beijing, its one of my favorite cities... ( does anyone know if everyone goes to beijing normal university for their second year? )
i got 42 on my ib, which is higher than their minimum requirements, but according to the other soas thread ( http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/t172418.html ), the places in both economics and chinese are pretty competitive.

depending on the competition this year. i think the standard offer is AAA(i think), but if the competition is low and your personal statement is exceptional then you'll get in. what did you get in AS?
