Warwick Applicants 2012

Bear in mind that 'Warwick' does not process any applications, it's done through the specific department. If the English department decide they do not want to send out courtesy e-mails, then you will not receive one. It's also a departmental decision as to when to hand out offers. That's why you guys are still in this thread whereas the sciences and maths have been handing out offers for 3 months

Exactly The more I think of Warwick, the less I think about Cambridge. After my rejection, I was hellbent on re-applying, but that phase has thankfully passed. To be honest, I'd have been lucky to scrape a 2.1 there, since I'm so so lazy, so this may be a blessing in disguise.

Oxbridge is overated now
Should give other unis a go

Sorry, this isn't relevant to the thread but I just wanted to say.

your avatar, looks like they're backing down.

Would you mind expanding? ( that's if there is anything to expand on)

Mathematician here who holds an offer from Warwick!
Standard offer of A*A*A etc
AS levels: AABC (maths, further maths, physics, chemistry)
A level predictions: (A*,A,A)
Also another oxbridge reject to add to the many that seem to be on this thread. (Cambridge, rejected after being placed in Winter Pool).

They upped the offer!? :O

Are you taking STEP?

Their standard offer is A*A*A Grade 2 in any STEP paper (1, 2 or 3)
OR
A*AA Grade 1 in any STEP paper.
So I have no choice but to take STEP, why?

I thought it was A*AA last year :P maybe I'm just blind and didn't see the start.
Oh! because you didn't mention STEP in your offer, so I thought they made an exception for you. Which STEP are you doing then?

Ah maybe it was? No idea, but I'm fairly sure that's their standard offer for this year. It makes sense in regards to applicants putting Warwick as their insurance and Oxbridge first, now Warwick's offer is a higher offer (for maths at least, and A levels not STEP) it will reduce the amount of insurance choices. Haven't explained that very well at all, but hopefully you can follow my logic!
Erm, I think it's up to me and my friend to decide and we were thinking the easiest one? XD

So many universities are doing that now across all courses!

Sounds like a plan to me I thought I was the easiest, non?

1000.

:e

1001, I may have stole your 1000 comment by accident xD

Yeah it's quite a clever idea, also helps the confidence of the people who get rejections maybe? So they don't get the idea they're settling for second best etc (not sure on that logic).
Yeah that's just advanced A-level maths right? With II being advanced mechanics and III advanced further, or something along those lines So probably I yeah.

1000.

:e

They're nifty like that :P

I think I and II are for people with just A level maths. and III is for those with FM but I'm not entirely sure about the mechanics side

There's loads to expand on . What in particular are you looking for?
