hello! i'm wondering if anyone could help me. i have offers from royal holloway (ABB) and reading (BBB/ABC) for english and french. i'm really torn between the two and which i should put as my firm and insurance. i know the obvious thing to do would be to put holloway first and reading as second but i'm not sure, especially as holloway specifically state that an 'a' in english is crucial.
if anyone could give me any advice that would be great! thanks.


Firm the one you most want to go to. If you don't get an A then Reading may take you after.

I went up to the University on Wednesday actually. Though the campus was really nice. I loved the school of law building as well, I mean, it's next to a lake!

Yeah History went so much better, improved my UMS by a bit, so happy days:tongue:

Congratulations on already getting the grades to meet your offer!

How did you go about changing course? also did you change department? or are both within languages?

cheers,

My other choice is Sussex :smile: Yeah! Hopefully I'll see you there!
just out of interest has anyone managed to go to one of the law offer holder days? i've tried to book a place on multiple occassionsbut they're all full -.- and when i contacted the law admissions tutor she told me that i "would not be able to attend :s-smilie:".

Would anybody be able to shed any light on their experiences there? the law school, accomodation etc..

Anyone know if the grade requirements for the LLB course have rose to 'AAA' instead of 'AAB' for 2013? :smile:

Is anyone else taking a gap year???
I've decided french and italian really isnt for me and emailed to try to switch course but they said no =/.
So basically i have to take a gap year and reapply next year but im so upset i wont be going this year. Anyone else taking a gap??
Or any advice to try and make this seem like a good thing?

Thanks :smile:
I've firmed Reading for law too. :redface: Unfortunately i could not make it to any of their open days. Did they mention anything about the leniency of the law school come results day? I think i will probably end up with a*ac (b in gs) but my offer is for aab. Is there a small probability that they may still consider me on results day with those grades?

I have insured Kent.

Sorry for the late reply!

I basically just rang up the German admissions office and they gave me an email address

emailed them (it was something like [email protected]) and just asked them if it possible as the woman I had rang previously said there was still a few spaces left, few days later my UCAS changed :biggrin:

good luck

I'm probably going to firm Reading for Business and Management, just looking for a little insight on accommodation or a student guide rather than the impersonal reading accommodation website that doesnt really give much detail. I'm anxious about picking nicer halls only for them to be boring.

At the moment I'm looking at Benyon, St Patricks and Wessex.

I've firmed for Reading university with an unconditional offer (since I am currently on a gap year). I will be looking for accommodation outside campus, does anyone know of any websites/fb pages/etc., where new students will be looking to buddy up for uni?
