    Hmmm, you're true, warwick had a 1/3 drop in A&F applicants. Any idea why?

    602 > 411
    Yeah I'm not sure to be honest. But it probably made it easier for us to get offers, so it's all good!

    Was there something wrong with ur application? (eg. subjects, grades, PS etc..)

    I had below average grades and yet managed to get an offer around early jan.

    Re: Accounting and Finance applicants for 2012 entry
    Is anybody considering doing a school leaver scheme outside the big 4.....Ive recently got offers from BDO (ACA 6 years) RSM tenon (AAT-ACA fast track)....At the start of the year my thoughts were going to uni to do an accounting and finance degree at either Nottingham or Birmingham Uni..I got my unconditional offers but after talking to alot of A+F degree students they pointed me towards doing a school leaver scheme...now thats not a problem Im just wondering would it be a good idea to do it outside the big 4?

    Does anybody have any experiance with school leaver schemes? that can help

    N420 BA ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL MGMT (3 years)

    N420 BA ACCT AND FINANCIAL MGT WITH EMP EXP (4 years)

    I prefer the south side. I don't really like Manchester city.
    Spoke to the head of the Law dept and the admission officer (soton), very nice ladies

    I'm doing my checks on uni..Southampton is 1 of them.

    Can i have yr view(s) on Exeter/bristol/Bath? I'm interested in A&F course.

    All very good unis. The only issue with Bristol and Bath is that they ask for particular grades in Maths which I did not have so it depends on the person really!

    They've even been in ucas extra for a while now and this yr, they didn't have as many applicants as usual. I would call them up and ask.

    Thanks.
    That shouldn't be a problem .


    I've been to Bath (small /touristy place) /Southampton (liveable) for a very short trip, can't comment much.
    How about Exeter & Bristol? Are they very competitve uni?
    Is Durham a boring place? I've heard their A&F is a new course, they haven't churn out first batch of A&F graduates?:confused:
