Hey guys i could use some advice!

Got offers for law at

Birmingham (AAA)
Manchester (AAB)
Manchester Met (ABB)
Nottingham Trent (BBB)

Thought id apply for a range cus i didnt think id get any offers tbh! so pretty pleased.

Seen all of the Unis apart from Nottingham (Saturday) and Birmingham is my favourite but i really think itll be a struggle to get AAA I really like Manchester as well.

Any advice would be appreciated!!

Firstly, well done!
Second, choose out of Birmingham and Manchester - they're in another league to trent and met. If you think it might take a bit of work to get Birmingham( and you like it the most), why not set it as your firm and Manchester as your insurance, it's logical, no?

I'm sure you'll get an invitation for an open day if you get an offer

Yeah I have an offer, I've just received an email to say that the last one has already been as it was on the day that I was invited to interview which I couldn't attend. They have offered me an alternate day where someone will show me round though which I am very grateful for!

They did not have the law option to choose from. Have you tried?

Yeah they didn't. ): I think I'm going to call them about it either today or tomorrow. Cuz I sent them an email a while back and they didn't reply yet ):

Do tell if they reply. Securities Commission increased their minimum requirement for A levels. May end up doing a DTP afterall

And SC wants a hand-written essay! GRRR.
Hey just try to apply. Maybe they'll overlook that if you've got an offer from the university?

Just received a conditional offer from Notts.
AAB.

Weird cuz I had already received my A2 results in January. :\

Email them and inform them about your results?

I did. Around two months ago? I emailed them a copy of my official results a few days after I got the statement of results. Hmmm..

Well then if you're not planning on choosing Notts then just leave it They take a long time replying to emails, in the end I had to call them!

Well I'm still waiting for Warwick still. Hopefully they'll give me a decision soon. Then I'll decide which to firm and which for insurance.

Would like to ask TSR's opinion tho.

Kings, Nottingham and Exeter. Which to firm and which for insurance?

[ernestchu]

If I got offers from Bristol and Durham but rejected by Notts and UCL, do you guys think that I can get QMUL's offer?

[greentealatte]

Can anybody tell me why it takes so long to hear back from Unis (this is just my nerves talking)

I thought you can only firm and not choose an insurance because you have already achieved your A-level results? Though it is weird that the unis have not changed your status to unconditional yet.. I'd go for King's as it is UoL and in London!

I emailed Exeter about it few days ago and I received a reply today. They said that even though I had achieved my results, they couldn't change the offer on UCAS as long as I haven't firmed or insured any universities.

I'm not sure how firming/insuring works tho. :\
Have you firmed Notts?

Yep I firmed Notts a few weeks ago. Firming/insuring works only when you have a conditional offer. You can check out the UCAS page here.

I just realised from the page you linked that I need to decide where to firm by 9th May! I hope the scholarship organizations would make their decisions before that! D:

I'm also waiting... for 3 decisions.

I have a feeling that they are waiting for people to firm/insurance/decline offers that they've given, so that they can determine how many more offers/rejections they need to give with reference to how many spots they have left.

Not sure though.

Can finally stop checking emails and track after 5 and a half months!

Unconditional from Bristol
