    Nottingham Applicants for 2012 entry
    SO, other Universities have them, I thought, why not one for the University with one of the best campuses in the UK?

    So here it is! What are you planning on studying?

    It's early, but i'm glad one's appeared already. ^_^
    English with creative writing and Classical Civilisation and English- Just worried that almost all my options want at least 2 As, most want 3.

    Glad the thread is up so soon,
    Hopefully going to study Psychology with Philosophy
    Having the same worries about entry requirements especially as the course I want to do generally is limited in spaces... But hopefully with the increase in tuition fees there will be less competition... right?

    I know it's early! - but like I said, some others already have them (and have done for a few weeks!)

    This is what I'm hoping (and I'm sure others are too) maybe for some courses there will be less competition, others may not change/be more.

    I want to study Civil Engineering, btw

    Ah, thanks Politics and my insurance is Politics and American Studies - I basically want to go to Notts! Just don't worry - they've been giving out lower offers recently, so if your grades are a bit iffy, a good PS and reference might be a big help.

    Oh wow, so your firm and insurance are both Notts? Yes, I hope to be able to crack my PS!

    If you have a good PS and average GCSE grades but good a-level predicitions would you get an offer?

    I can't say and Notts will be very ambiguous. I can only give you an example of my own situation, but it really depends on your subject. Try going on the Firmers thread and finding another member who does the subject you're applying for and ask them. There's a list of all of us and I'm sure one person will help because they are all really nice. I would say that the PS plays a very big part in the application process, especially for subjects that don't interview.
