Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadAt the open day today, they stated that anything under AAB is highly unlikely to receive an offer.(Original post by driftingaway)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadBiology applicant
Went to the open day earlier today and really liked it.
Was a little dissappointed with east slope, although I've heard good things about it I came away thinking really it looked very cramped and not particularly pleasent.
Although the other accomodation was absolutely fine, probably even nicer then some that I've seen.
And very close to Brighton which is brilliant

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadWhat did you expect? East Slope is awful. Everyone knows that. But there are lots of parties there.(Original post by kitkatbitesize)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadI've booked a campus tour because I can't make the open day. What happens? Do you have to make your own way round and do you get to look inside the accommodation?(Original post by lorrabell)
went on a campus tour, not the full open day. looked ok, quite spacious and green, en suite acc was nice but quite dear and east slopes i wouldn't pay £10, it was the pits!! cafes looked nice and new, library nice and big -

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadIt's commonly thought that people shouldn't legally be allowed to live in East Slope. Some people love it. A girl in my flat moved from East Slope because she couldn't handle that it was never clean.(Original post by kitkatbitesize)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's Threadaah ok. I have an AABB prediction. Why do they state 'AAA-AAB' entry req on their website? Do they actually give out offers for AAA?(Original post by electric-wars)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadI haven't seen an AAA requirement for any course, but there is a possibility that they would give somebody an AAA offer in certain circumstances. If I were you I wouldn't worry though, you're highly likely to just be offered the standard AAB.(Original post by driftingaway)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's Threadyeah, on their website and on ucas, their entry requirements for law are 'AAA-AAB', hence i was a little worried. I really want to firm sussex. I just hope i get an offer!(Original post by electric-wars)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's Threadon a campus tour you're taken around by a few people, we had 1 student and someone from admissions, i think, they showed us the more important bits and 2 accommodations, the newest ones and east slopes, personally i wouldn't put a pig in east slopes
