Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012How did you structure your personal statement??(Original post by jhthed)
Offer for MMORSE! :P -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012Can you tell me what your offer was?(Original post by jhthed)
Offer for MMORSE! :P
Also, are you not required to go to an interview beforehand? -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012Talk about your interest in maths, and also about your interest in finance/economics. But focus more on maths. You could also mention non-maths extracurricular stuff you've done but keep that part fairly small compared to the rest of it.(Original post by Sinx2010ghana)
erm im applying for
MORSE-Warwick
Statistics and finance- LSE
financial mathematics- Lancaster
Maths with financial mathematics Manchester
Financial mathematics- Surrey
Don't worry so much about statistics/operational research because the MORSE admissions people know that you're likely to be applying to other courses which don't have exactly the same combination of subjects. -

Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012I'd imagine so.(Original post by Sinx2010ghana)
Do the Admissions people class predicted grades more important than the personal statement for MORSE?? -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012With no interview? Unless you are international, I'm going to call troll! (If you are international [or somehow managed to get a non-interview offer] - amazing, well done! I'm very jealous)..(Original post by jhthed)

Re: Warwick Stats/Maths admissions question...Oh really? That's good to know. I got my offer from Warwick yesterday but also was interested in MMORSE. I never applied for it though, just applied for Maths.(Original post by Narev)
I applied for both MORSE and Math as well, and received both offers.
That being said, it is entirely possible to switch between (M)Math and (M)MORSE in your first year (and perhaps second/third year, depending on the modules you take), so it would be wise to apply for one course only, and focus your personal statement appropriately

Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012I think - dare I say it - you're probably obsessed with the MORSE course more than I am. But yes, I do. I also check my email everyday. Then I check track as well in hope I got an offer but failed to receive an email from UCAS (which I don't think has ever happened before). Then I check my email again.(Original post by joshgoldman)
Is anyone else eagerly anticipating post EVERY SINGLE DAY?
Same routine about three times a day. What a depressing gap year I'm having. -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012Thanks.I already acheived A*for maths so the condition is A in further maths and A in either chemistry or economics.The offer is not on track yet,they said there is a bit of backlog.They already sent be the offer by mail but I have not received yet.(Original post by mpc1)
Congrats on your UCL offer. Is the condition AA meaning 2 grade condition?
Was there any interview/open day requirement or is the offer already on track?
I did not have an interview since I am an international student.Last edited by macbookair; 11-11-2011 at 12:20. -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012The admission tutor emailed me directly to inform me with the conditions.(Original post by mpc1)
If the offer is not on track yet , how do you know the offer conditions? If outside EU, I think post takes more than a week atleast. -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012Guess few have already got Mmorse offers .(Original post by macbookair)
I also applied for MMORSE.from what I heard,mmorse is not like maths which they give many offers and give offers very quickly.everybody has to wait a long time for mmorse offers.It ois not that easy to get a mmorse offer
Any idea if any international applicants got offers from warwick already?
Are you from the EU (doing A levels) or outside EU? -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012
It's not easy to get a MMORSE offer because the course is demanding. I don't want to sound rude, but even if you have A*A*A* at A levels, you may still struggle in your first year.
Reason being - MMORSE covers most of the core Maths modules that Math students at Warwick take, core Statistics modules, as well as one Econs module in the first year.
So you'd need to be at least as good in Maths as those applying for straight MMath, plus have an aptitude for Statistics (quite a sizable amount of Math students already don't want to do Statistics at University after studying Probability B which is a first year module, because it's too abstract), as well as able to do Economics.
Hopefully, your teacher's recommendation and personal statement will show that, because there have been students who believe they are smart by getting top grades at A level, and perform badly, and drop out after the first year, wasting an entire year (while they could get decent grades at other Universities).Last edited by Narev; 11-11-2011 at 14:58. -
Re: Warwick Maths/MORSE/Stats applicants and questions 2012I think the only people that have offers for MMORSE are international applicants as UK students get interviews before they receive offers, which haven't started yet.(Original post by mpc1)
