    I just got an offer of AAA including maths and physics, but I've already gotten an A* in maths and they know this, so how could they offer me this offer.

    I'm confused.
    Maybe they offered you a standard offer, that means AAA regardless of the fact that you got A*, which means that you qualify anyway

    They like you. It's probable that even if you slip a grade (or 2) they'll still take you.
    I hope so! Can never know for sure though, they may have just 'liked' my predicted grades! Haha, I need to be more optimistic, perhaps...but thank you!

    On the accommodation application page it states that you cannot apply for accommodation until February 22nd. Try then, and if it still doesn't work get in contact with the faculty you've applied to.

    Your student ID is the one on your offer letter. Just wait until 22nd.

    As far as your accommodation applications and offers go, you should bear the first post of the following thread in mind, if you haven't already seen it, as it offers some vital information:

    do you have to firm them to apply for rooms because I still haven't got all my offers yet.

    Hey guys just got an unconditional for biomed and waiting back on medicine from them. Just wondering if people have started applying for accommodation already because I know I'm definitely going to southampton just not the course.
    Definitely looking at glen eyre - any one know what small halls are like?

    You should apply for accommodation if you think there's a chance you will go to southampton.

    Hey I applied for accommodation a couple of days ago! you get 5 choices, I mostly applied for glen eyre with one wessex lane option! I think the small halls are good too but a bit further away from campus for my liking!

    Re: Southampton 2012 Applicant's Thread
    Is anyone going to the Applicant Day on 7th March? My daughter has an offer for Occupational Therapy. Does anyone know if you get to see any of the accommodation at the applicant days, we went to an open day last year and saw Glen Eyre but it would be good to get a look at Wessex Lane if at all possible.

    Anyone here firmed OT for September?
