    Ah cheers, that's what I'm hoping to get. Do you have experience of applying there? I'm dropping Business next year and I got told if I was successful, I would get an offer of 3A's and a B at AS level so good to know.
    To Warwick yeah, not to Management specifically though.

    You should be fine, just write a solid PS, since Warwick put lots of weight on the PS for the competitive subjects

    Firmed Warwick A&F. I turned down a LSE A&F offer for Warwick

    My offier is AAAb with an A in maths

    Did you lot receive any letters from Warwick?
    I haven't received any letters at all and just the odd email about UG funding which is nice as it's seems i'm now eligible for 10.5k of funding (inc loans) from Warwick and the government combined on top of only having to pay 7k for tuition.

    Did you get AAAB at AS? nice, any particular reason for the funding? or are you just eligible because of parental income e.t.c?

    No, i got AABE at AS. Got BBC at A2 due to illness and reapplied with a A*AAb prediction.
    Yh, due to parental income and ethnicity.

    As long as you have a decent PS and at least a AAB (yes, AAB) prediction, you should get an offer of AAAb (or A*AA only if you do 3 A levels and no AS)

    Cool thanks, much appreciated. Is that just for A+F would you say or the whole of WBS? I was told I would be made an AAA offer with the A-levels I'm doing if I'm successful and hoping to get AAAB at AS so fingers crossed :P

    Also, the whole funding thing? Is that automatic or would I have to apply for anything? I'm of a minority ethnicity as well... thanks

    I have a feeling you would be given an offer of A*AA as i believe Warwick central university policy is not to allow economics and business to be seen as separate subjects.

    It's the same case for management as far as i can tell. If you want a greater look at applicants and enrolments look at this:

    You apply for the ethnicity scholarship but the tuition waiver and free money is automatic.

    Thanks for that - from the looks of it, it's roughly 1 place for every 7-8 applicants.

    International Management, last year, had 336 total applicants (both home + international) and 46 got offered places.
