my friend started using an ipad to take notes in lectures how cool is that!!

Quite, I guess. I'm too creative with the whole note-taking thing though - probably just traditional. :tongue:

Hmm, I'm not too sure. I'd go with something smart, but I'm not certain as to whether a suit is over the top or not. :/

Yea I have an offer :biggrin:

I got it about a month ago, i submitted my application on the 13th of october . It took them about a week to reply with the offer but i'm living in ireland so they decided that it was unfair to call me for interview. :biggrin:

There are too many ppl with straight As, predicted straight A* so thats not unexpected really. You can wait for LSE. They sometimes make offers even if your As grades are not decent ( depends heavily on your PS )

That seems harsh, your AS's seem reasonably close to your predicted grades. Espicially as their ask is only for aaa-aab, so on paper you meet it. Mate of mine from the year above applied there for geo + econ, he got aab and still got an interview - idk, i think everybody gets an interview beforehand. Obviously its slightly different from your course, but it was stil held ihe geography department and I'm pretty sure his application along with other geo + econ applications were handed by the same people there as well.

any econ applicants emailed UCL to ask when they might give out offers/rejections. If yes what did they say?

Nope. I meant UCL rejecting you is normal. They are a bit fussy about As grades. LSE, on the other hand, concentrate more on your predicted grades and your PS. If you produced a decent PS, you might be able to get an offer. Be prepared though, there offer will be like A*A*AA for such cases.

Btw, which subjects are you doing?
