Keele Freshers Thread 2012

yeah i know how you feel. thought i was applying for just maths, then i got a letter saying i've applied for a dual honours course and they wanted to know what i wanted to read alongside. should make it clearer.
wasnt really sure what to do but it said to email them my reply so i just emailed them saying NO BITCH THATS NOT THE RIGHT ONE, in a more polite manner

Phew, I actually bothered to read through all of the pages! xD Eeeeek, it's getting exciting.

Got an offer for Physical Geography & Geology a couple of days back (a week or two after I'd applied, for the record)... wasn't brave enough to apply for straight Geology or Geoscience xD It's shown up on UCAS, but Keele haven't sent anything (yet)... o:

My college've predicted me A*AA (pfft, like that will ever happen >.> ), but I went to the open day on the 15th both me and my mum fell in love with Keele! We talked about it, and she doesn't mind me not applying to somewhere that wants super high grades, or is really prestigious, because we both know I wouldn't be happy there (I don't think I could handle it at all xD). Like someone else said, it's quite nice to not have as much pressure being forced on you by your offer requirements... as long as I keep working I actually think I'll possibly do better in my exams that I would've done if I was panicking about meeting entry requirements. :3

I definitely think I'm gonna put Keele down as my firm now, but I'll probably still wait for the others to reply... just for the sake of completion.

On a side note: first post, wooo. I've lurked around the Student Room for a while, but now I'm pretty certain which Uni I'm going to, I figured I'd finally go and make an account so maybe I could get to know some people at/going to Keele before I got there... I'd go lurk around the facebook page, except I don't have facebook xD

Just wondering as well, in case anyone knows... the Geology says it assumes no prior knowledge, but I'm currently doing A Level Geology... does anyone know how much of a step up it is from that? (content-wise, not workload-wise, because obviously it's gonna be a heavier workload at Uni).

I haven't read through all this topic, but I sent my application on the 17/11, and had acknowledgements from all my other unis except Keele, is this pretty normal for them?
Is their acknowledgement an email or post?

I am currently studying GCSE's and very keen in getting in university.
Does any1 know what GCSE grades you need to get to get into pharmacy

I applied for both geoscience and geology+physical geography since I really wanna go to Keele

i'm in exactly the same position as you i was going to apply to cambridge just so i could reject them (just to let them know what it feels like i guess? and to prove to people that i could) but then i realised i couldn't be bothered to go to the interview and that i didn't really have to prove anything to anyone anyway... i'm so excited about studying at keele
