Yeh maybe, but somehow i feel that something is wrong, i dnt even think im gna get 3 AAA's!!!! im gna ring them and ask wat they mean by 360 points (i.e aaa OR inclusive of other things) did u apply to SOAS?

Yeah probably best to ring them up just to double check. I'm applying for Law LLB at SOAS... still waiting though. It's good to hear that at least someone is getting an offer.

Yeh i suppose, but its totally taken me off guard. I duno how or why i got an offer from soas, was expecting a rejection.

Yeah...Queen M is also one of my choices. SOAS is always high on the league tables though. I guess it depends on what kind of law/career you plan in the future.

Yeh, some ppl change their minds when they start a law degree...i think we're taking up the space on this msg board lol. But anyway, some ppl even say that the league tables are inaccurate

SAT's are about how good you are at taking tests(it's the stupidest thing in the whole entire world, i know, it's not about how much you know, it's retarded) so they aren't like A-levels because they're all just trick questions.

i want to go to SOAS because
1.) Best place to study Chinese
2.) I like the focus that Economics has there, plus the idea of the floater i can take in IR
3.) it's...uh...London duhhhh haha
4.) Diversity at the school. i think that it's really cool. :biggrin:

SAT is a standard test that covers most subjects you've learned in high school...english, math, science, etc. It is comprehensive, unlike A-levels and your results are based on what other people who took it during the same time as you made on the exam. It's a percentile thing... 90 percentile or above= very good. 10 percentile= dumba**

I want to go to SOAS because I really like the international setting and quality of education they provide.

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?

hmm.. i have no idea what i got in A's.. but 42 is pretty high (its 42/45), they say their minimum is 30. in retrospect my personal statement seems crap, i think i should have written more specifically about my academic interests and less about my volunteer work, but hey, ive yet to hear from them so ill see what they think... i really really want soas to answer soon!
