    Does anyone know how many places Warwick does for accounting and finance? I know Nottingham takes in 200 and Bath 75, but seeming Warwick is high for A&F, they should take in a high amount too right??
    It's around 100 places according to Warwick's website, so I'd estimate they send out 150-200 offers.

    Re: Accounting and Finance applicants for 2012 entry
    Warwick last yr:
    602 applicants from the EU/UK
    86 enrolled from the EU/UK

    Overseas was 1088/107

    I would assume about ~200 offers would be made to cater in people picking to do stuff like KPMG school leavers, people picking LSE and people missing their grades.

    Congratulations! . That's what I was thinking, I only had two five minute videos to go by and chose Stevenson in the end solely because it's closer to a gym haha. Is that the college that you chose or was yours an open application? Cheers

    Open application. After having seen both the colleges online, i think i would have preferred Stevenson.

    Offer from Exeter AAA, I am predicted only AAB however.. I was under the impression (because on their website the entry requirements were AAA-AAB) that I would have received the lower offer, darn! So I'm a bit confused, why the range in requirements?

    I believe that they give the lower offer sometimes to people that come from a financially disadvantaged background or people who have extenuating circumstances such as illness during exams.
    Ah right Ok, thanks. I did email one of the A&F staff at Exeter asking about it, but only ever got an ambiguous reply along the lines of 'if you meet the requirements you should be fine' - wasn't the best of help to be honest.

    Yeh, seriously!

    Bham has a grade offer of AAB-ABB but they told me that the ABB offer is reserved for people doing 3+ A levels so i would assume the same applies to your uni.
