    What universities you choose without this?
    I'm soooo excited, Essex is my nr 1 , i looooove the campus, and ... everything ! :rolleyes: xx
    Wish to get an offer! xo
    I applied to dundee,aberdeen,UEA,keele and essex of course So i have two offers one is from keele and the second one is from UEA.As for international student I got specific requirments but keele offer is near AAB and UEA AAA.So UEA is my firm choice because it has my dream course law with american law and as an in insurance is Essex.But what I scare the most that there are many people who hate international students.Is it right?Or people who said that are only joking?
    What about you? What universities did u choose without this one ?

    Lithuania rocks! lol
    Asmeniškai aš iš Lietuvos, tik šiuo metu joje nesu.
    Here in London many of people are against the lithuanians. But don't worry, people who talk like that don't know any of us (čia kaip nekęsti kopūstų sriubos niekada jos neparagavus )

    What did you apply with? I've been eagerly waiting for an answer the past few days, cuz in the welcome e-mail they said they'd answer in two weeks and it's gonna be two weeks tomorrow since I sent my app. I'm soooo excited.

    I applied on the 4th (which I'm guessing you did? as it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow for me) for Politics and Sociology and I'm predicted ABB but my offer is BBB yay! I'm sure they'll get back to you soon, what course have you applied for? I'm guessing different departments answer faster than others

    Yeah I hope so too! I applied with International Relations and Modern Languages (but it's the linguistics department, not government that my application is going to so it may take longer (EU citizen so predicted grades are in different format, but mine are 5.50/6.00)
    I hope they get back to me soon!!!

    I think mine was in the Sociology department hopefully they will! I haven't seen that many Essex offers really anyway, so you shouldn't worry!

    Wait so Essex interview for every subject, or just particular departments? Do you think the Linguistics department will ask for an interview?

    I don't know, maybe because mine is Law and that usually has many applicants but just be prepared for anything. When did you send your UCAS off?

    I sent mine off November 9, and I got the interview invitation today, (but the letter said November 17) so I honestly guess its down to the department as well, but you should just chill, you'll probs get your letter/offer on Monday.

    Got a letter from Essex today saying that they are going to give me an offer (for Spanish and Modern Languages) but they haven't stated the conditions, and UCAS hasn't updated yet..so hopefully it's not too high!
