    ermm I took Psychology, English lit, History and Economics at AS and I got ABBB and I'm predicted A*AA at A level, dropping English Lit. I'm retaking two of my AS though to try and get them up to an A (fingers crossed).

    What about you?
    Pretty similar situation I took Psychology, Health and Social Care, English lit, Photography and General Studies at AS, and got ABBBC (the C was in general..) I also dropped english lit and am re-taking two AS exams. Not sure of my predictions yet. Have you sent your application off yet?

    Yeh I sent it off at the end of September because my schools crazy about getting it sent off early, only had two acknowledgment emails so far though...

    I've applied for Animal Behaviour at the Cornwall Campus. Not too confident as I'm applying with a National Diploma, but hoping the fact I'm 25 and predicted straight distinction stars will help me!! Good luck everyone else, I feel your impatient pain :/!

    did anyone else get an email about sports scholarships? I don't think I'm going to apply for various reasons but I'm rather curious whether they send them to everyone or is it based on the contents of your PS :beard:

    This! (Only not judo... lol) I mentioned marathon running and wondered if they were hinting at me applying for a scholarship because I run stupidly long distances. Seems like everyone got it!

    Hey, I applied for Business Economics with International study, what are your subjects and predicted grades. I'm regretting the international study course because of how competitive it is:confused : ..
    I am certain that the places for Business Economics and Business Economics with International Study are one pool and that the university are keen to favour students 'with international study'. I say that as an Exon, we were encouraged to opt for international study during our studies, which I switched to.
