    My application was a bit... unconventional.

    Date of offer: March 2012
    University: SOAS
    Course code/name: L100 Economics
    Offer: AAA
    GCSEs: All B's
    A2's (from first set of A-Levels) :ABCC
    Predicted A2s (subjects I'm currently taking): No predicted grades (self-taught subjects over a year). Aiming to at the very least meet my offer, or exceed it. (A/A* in Maths and Economics. I dropped Further Maths when I got the rejection from LSE)

    Same offer from City University. Rejection from LSE (not that I expected an offer LOL)
