    Your an international student? If you can't finance yourself you could call QMUL up to say you want to reject yourself from the process, it's fairly easy they can't force you to go if you don't want to although you are legally bound to the university until you take action.


    Yeah I am. Hmm, alright, I guess I don't have to worry about that too much then. Thanks!

    Every time I've contacted them via e-mail (at least, contacting someone in the admin departments), it's taken from three to four weeks for someone to reply. I wouldn't hold your breath, just be patient :].
    Awesome, thanks. I know they go through a lot of applications, so I'm fine with that.

    Which university did you firm? You still might have a chance if you missed the requirements by a little, is it for a competitive course?

    Sorry I can't help with accommodation.

    Hi,
    Just wondered what your AS grades were so that I can gauge whether to apply for QMUL for law.

    Thanks

    I firmed QMU for Economics and just wanted to know how lenient they are if you miss a grade (So get ABB instead of AAB).
