Hi everyone. I'm applying to Cambridge, UCL, Exeter, Southampton and Queen Mary. I got ABB offer from Exeter (+ a small scholarship if I get AAA and firm them) and ABB offer from QM. Nothing from the other 3 yet. I'm pretty worried about rejections from all of them tbh: everyone who is being considered seems to have heard something already. :/

If anyone wants to discuss history (particularly Nazi Germany or origins of WW1) let me know. When I read and think about history I always try and do it from a modern perspective. I'm not much of a fan of just considering how things used to be; I much prefer thinking about how they relate to current politics and stuff. History just seems boring and a pretty pointless endeavour without this emphasis imo.
