You're not alone, just shows how difficult it is to get into Warwick! Have you got any other offers from elsewhere?
No and I'm kinda annoyed coz my grades aren't that bad -

Re: Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012Some don't even get placements, though :s And you have to pay Bath £2500 in tuition fees ... for not going to Bath.(Original post by WalkerPrince)
Whoever has an offer from Bath, SERIOUSLY consider it. Some students were earning £50,000 on their placement year. -

Re: Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012I hold offers for Bath, Bristol and Southampton. I am predicted A*,A*, A, A for Economics, Maths, Politics and History respectively and I got about 4 A*'s, 3 A's and a B at GCSE.(Original post by akash297)

Yeah they did on a Saturday at half 4, thought it was rather odd for them to do that.. Anyways, it's nothing to worry about really. Just need to concentrate on getting my grades for Bath or Bristol. Have you also applied to Warwick? -

Re: Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012Rejected from Warwick for economics. Pretty annoyed considering it was going to be my first choice. Even worse that they held my application for so long.
I think I may just do the best I can grade wise this year and then reapply. -
