Yeah I was wondering the same thing, have you even got acknowledgement from them?


I received an offer for the Mathematics G100 on the 29th of october :smile: conditional A*AB/AAA plus A in C3+C4!
How do everyone's predicted grades compare with their offer grades, I'm so worried I've applied too high. I'm applying to NatSci and Environmental Science at Nottingham, my school hasn't sent my application off yet and people are already getting offers!!! AAAAHHHH!!!

My predicted grades are massively above my required grades due to my school's vain attempt to get me into Cambridge. :tongue:
Congrats on the offers guys! :biggrin:
I'm applying for Joint Honours English Literature and History, and my predictions are:
English literature - A*, History - A*, Archaeology - A*.
Got an offer from Liverpool last week but haven't heard anything from my other choices, Nottingham, Cambridge, Exeter and Edinburgh. Going crazy over not knowing though! :/

I sent my application off in mid October but have had the usual horror of an additional personal statement (I applied for just History at Cambridge cause they don't do a joint course!)
Good luck to those who haven't yet got offers, I'm hoping Nottingham hurries up and tells us either way :rolleyes:

Ah ok, I think the one with Ancient history has a lower standard offer.
Um, it's good, I'm finding it fairly challenging but I think that's just getting used to the differences from school. I do feel like I'm getting into the swing of things now though (I'm currently on a break from writing my first essay which is due in on tuesday :eek: ) :smile:

First year is an overview of everything basically, from 500AD-1945AD, then a skills module
Next year we have a module on 1945 onwards, another skills module, then we get to pick everything else (so excited for choosing my own modules!)
Can't remember what final year's like really, I know you have to do a dissertation, and I think you also do a 'special subject' where you go really in depth on a particular topic.

ahaha totally agree..

my school has put my predicted grades at AAA.. even though im likely to get AAB..

but your school tends to do it for incentive alot of the time.. e.g. to try and make you work harder to achieve the higher grades in all 3 subjects :P

(or in your case, to get u an offer from cambridge :tongue: )

My predicted grades are A*A*A*A*A*! :eek3:

I must admit, it does work as a good incentive as there's nothing I'd like more than to achieve 5 A*s (except maybe passing my driving test which is probably on a par :colondollar:). I'll hopefully get one in General Studies but I'll be lucky to get two! :tongue:

Yeah, I got a AAB offer a couple of days ago :smile:
This offer is subject to you obtaining

GCE A level
Grades AB


I already have an A* in maths, does that count as an A for this offer?
Because if it does, it means that i can do ONLY the remaining three units of A2 physics, get a B for it and get into Nottingham :s-smilie:
right? :smile:

I'm guessing they've considered your A* in Maths already, hence why the offer only includes two grades. You need to get an A and a B this year to go alongside your A* in Maths. If you hadn't had the A* already I would imagine your offer would have been AAB/ABB. :smile:
