Hello guys, is it true you get a cash reward if you get really high in your STEP paper? Thanks
-Didn't make the cut for Oxford :cry2:
-Warwick offer
-Nottingham offer
-Waiting on Durham / Imperial

Ideal choices: Warwick w/ Durham as backup now that Oxford have turned me down :frown:

Durham vs. Bath?

Durham vs. Bath?


Personally I'd choose Durham :smile: Gorgeous place with plenty to do, everyone there seemed really happy and the course looked good too. Bath just didn't have the same fantastic feel IMO.

For me, it would have to be bath :love:
AAB offer from nottingham. The typical offer is A*AB-AAA so my personal statement was probably god-like. :biggrin: if that's the case, I might secure an AAB offer from Bristol! (which usually gives out straight AAA offers)

EDIT: in which case I'll insure Bristol.

Durham if I get the offer but Bath will probably be my insurance. They are both so nice!
Offer from Bath -- AA :woo:

Nottingham give out AAB offers quite often actually, congratulations! :smile: I'm hoping for an AAB offer too. :biggrin:

Haha, what were your predictions? I know they usually give them to students who they think make Nottingham first choice, so basically aren't predicted they typical offer. :smile:

I got a letter from sheffield saying I won't get an offer until I attend another open day/or say i'm not going....
The open day is in march. I've said i'm going now so do you think I won't get an offer until then? :eek:


Does it matter? They've basically said you have an offer :tongue:

predicted A*AA
achieved @AS: AABD

the B was in chem, and I had a D in the first paper which destroyed my overall average, hence I'm predicted an A in it. I dropped the D (physcis).

Never understood things like that. Makes no sense to me.

I'm retaking the paper. I don't know why I got a D in the first paper as it is meant to be the easiest chem exam. But my other two modules were high A's, hence the A prediction.

imo that's reasonable. Retaking that exam won't hinder my A2 performance, think of it as the C1 equivalent of chem.
