I have been rejected. :/ I suspect that GCSEs play a larger role than the university claims - or maybe it was this idea that Durham are actually quite keen on 'EC's. Oh well - I guess this will just make my Cambridge offer taste that much sweeter >.>

I think I'm in the same boat as you. Rejected by Durham and Oxford for History V100 for what I suspect is an A in History GCSE, not an A*. Have had no confirmation of this mind you.

Thanks! Which college did you get assigned? I've applied to University but I don't really mind where I end up, I just liked the look of it! :smile:

Castle. I was actually really surprised because my ucas code was changed to z, so I assumed I was going to another one. Hopefully you'll get into University, I'm so excited to be based in a castle.

Hello, did your college code on UCAS change before or after you received the letter? I'm an international student, so it'd take ages for me to receive a letter about my college allocation.

I got a conditional offer for civil engineering :smile:

It was AAA for math and physics with the third either being economics or chemistry. I'm wondering once we get an offer from Durham does that mean that we got accepted into the college of our choice?

Offers for Natural Science are going out all over the place, but I still haven't heard a thing from them about it (other than acknowledgement of my application) what kind of spread was there for reply dates last year, I applied October 7th, cheers.
