I know, same! I'm really jealous of my friends in the year above going, although I don't know anyone going to Bristol. I just wish Freshers' Week was next week xD! Nowhere else does engineering maths.. It's what I want to do, so I'm going to try and nail my personal statement! :smile:

I've seen a couple of threads for different universities such as Oxbridge and Durham and I thought I'd get the ball rolling with prospective Bristol applicants :smile:

List of applicants, quote me and I'll add you to the list



Hi, I'm a potential applicant, not 100% sure I'm applying to Bristol yet as I have yet to visit (going to the open day in September :biggrin:) but it looks good!

That sounds good :biggrin: How big is your year?

Do you tend to socialise with fellow CompScis, or with people you were in halls with, etc?


There's about 90 - 100 people in each year.

I was in Unite House, which is not a proper hall (and heads-up at this point, avoid it, go for a real hall) so most of my friends are CSers. We have socials put on by CSS, the society for the course and in our year we organise pub/tea meet-ups. You'll also tend to hang out with people from any societies you're involved in (in my case, PhotoSoc :biggrin:)

this is my first one :giggle: I'm off to Nottingham on the 9th, though!
Username: FuzzySheep
Course: History
Other unis: Exeter and Warwick so far
Predicted grades: Not sure yet, hopefully AAA. ASs weren't fantastic this year with ABCC, but I was close to the boundaries for the B and C. Hopefully a couple of resits will help!

Ah it's alright, some of my friends haven't properly even looked at university requirements yet :eek: - I hope Nottingham is good! (I have their prospectus, it looks really nice :colondollar:)

Haha, they do indeed! I'm just worried about the AS grades really, but I'm not going to apply to anywhere I'm not willing to go, would be a waste! I'm not entirely sure on Oxford yet, going to have a good think and word with my tutor.

Have you visited anywhere yet? I haven't (and really should start!) :tongue:

AS grades aren't the be all and end all, and you have good GCSEs, with good A2 predictions, reference, Personal statement (and for Oxford) interview, you still have a really good chance! :smile:

I've visited; Oxford, Cambridge, QMUL, RHUL, Reading, Kent, Chichester, UEA, LSE and still have Exeter & Bristol to go! :biggrin: this was over a period of over 2 years though, and of all of those I only want to apply to Oxford, UEA and Royal Holloway. (although the others were all nice too, it's just personal preference!) I also considered York, Nottingham and Southampton but then decided against as I've been to a ridiculous number of open days this year and no member of my family is willing to take me to any more :frown: lol!
