Re: History Applicants 2012 entry(Original post by Xyris)
I just got an email from UCL saying I've passed the first phase of consideration and that they're going to give me an answer at the latest by February



:
well done! UCL sounds insane with the whole "phases" thing, it sounds like Oxford or Cambridge or something!

Re: History Applicants 2012 entryThanks! Well done with your offers so far, not sure if you remember me but I was asking whether I'd be a good history applicant or not a month or two back on here and you gave me a huge confident boost with your replies, cheers! Hopefully once I get some more replies in I'll be ready to relax. Good luck for the future!(Original post by Niki_girl)

Re: History Applicants 2012 entryHey,(Original post by toofaforu)
just out of interest, how many books did you guys mention in your personal statements? also did you guys talk about arguments you were interested in? im scared i'm sounding too much like a history paper
I mentioned one book and talked about the arguments it presented and how good/poor I thought they were, luckily the book was so pretentious and obscure it was easy to criticize but still respect the opinion. I wouldn't personally mention a general argument in History and talk about your respected views. It's all up to you at the end of the day
Useful Resources:
