Exeter 2012 Applicant's Thread

That's probably why you have been given a lowered offer because you are taking an extra alevel!

I think generally across the board most courses require anything from A*AA-AAB with the exception of a few courses offering ABB.

Not to sound pessimistic, but once you've been given the offer that is what they are going to expect you to achieve, because there are 3 applicants per place. Unless your course happens to end up in clearing (doubt it from exeter) then you're probably not going to get in if you miss the offer

Is Exeter uni quite international? If so does anyone know what nationalities are represented there?

From what I've heard it's predominantly white, which is slightly worrying but as long as everyone gets on, it shouldn't be a major problem

That's not a lower offer really :-P the only people ive seen with a higher offer for my course (AAA) are those with predicted grades of above AAA (like my friend at school) and they do say their offers range from ABB-AAA for my course :L

EDIT: Sorry didnt want to sound moody, just really want to get into Exeter so bad :/

That's what i thought... -.- I went for the open day and didn't see too many internationals, even though on their website they boast about their international students! I've grown up surrounded by international people, so I really hope I can fit in at Exeter

No! There are loads of asian students there. So many!

have to agree with this, saw lots at the open days i've been to

I must have missed them completely. But apart from Asians do you know of any European nationalities?

I'll add another post later in case I feel there's more to say, but for now, if you want to ask any questions about Exeter, or the Politics, Economics and English (my new course) courses, please PM me

Although a lot of your points are totally valid, I do have to disagree with every academic being useless. Yes there are one or two who can't be bothered to help students, but I've found that the overwhelming majority of my lecturers have been more than willing to help if people were stuck with things; one of them even arranged extra tutorials in the Ram for people who wanted them!
I'm no expert on the nightlife as clubbing's not my thing, but there are plenty of other places of an evening such as the Impy, 44 Below etc. which are more relaxed than clubs.
And yes there are lots of "rahs", as with you I'm from a poor background, but just because you live with people who have a different way of life doesn't mean you should worry about becoming best friends with them. The majority of my flatmates are fairly close to being rahs, and it may have been difficult at first when it became clear that we weren't going to be bosom pals, but I went out, joined societies and met other people who weren't so preoccupied with how much money everyone had, and it's been great!

My friend and I were wondering the same thing. I hope Freshers will be a good chance to ease the worry and do some mingling. Hope I get in so bad!

Yeah all we can do is wait and see now! Whereabouts are you coming from? Good luck in you exams!!
