Offers from:
Cardiff for Ancient History (BB)
Exeter for Classical Studies and Theology (AB)
Warwick for Classical Civilisation (AB)
Oxford for Classics II (AA)

(I already have an 'A' grade in Music A2)

Is anyone else going to the open day for Cardiff?

Congratulations

Sensible spread of choices, unlike many Oxbridge applicants I've seen

Thanks.

I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so I wanted some lower offers in case I ended up missing a lot of lessons like I did last year.

Really?

Wow. That's a real coincidence!

Are you in university? If so, how do you find it?

Last year of school actually doing A2's atm, then I'm heading up to Uni to study Ancient History

Depends on the day to be honest, affects me worst between around 3 - 6, but its gotten a lot better since I started drinking lots of water, working out and eating healthily

How about yours?

Rejection from Durham, not really bothered though, as I've got an offer from Bristol which is my first choice

Just got to choose between Manchester and Birmingham for no.2 now...thoughts?

Bristol is fantastic (better than Durham IMHO) Well done. Don't know much about Manchester so off the top of my head I'd say Birmingham. It won't matter though 'cos you'll be off to Bristol anyway!

My friend got rejected for classics from st andrews about 2 weeks ago and I just got a rejection today for ancient history because of the ammount of applicants. Weirdly I'm so happy about it, it feels like a pressure off my mind from all the competition. Newcastle firm, Manchester insurance

That's a pity but I understand exactly what you mean! Newcastle and Manchester are very good universities for the study of the Ancient world, so congrats on getting in there!

Manchester's pretty good, it's raining here at the moment mind so I'm not in the mood to say the wonderful things about it when I'm freezing my arse off at work. I chose not to choose Birmingham because when in applied, the average offer was BBB and when I got my offer, it came with a letter stating that they'd upped the average offer to ABB . Not only did this piss me off, I was never all that keen on Birmingham anyway.

Just out of interest, who is your 5th choice?

[linney]

Still no news from Newcastle or Bristol and I sent my application in on the 2nd of Dec! Going out of my mind about Newcastle!

Applied to and had offers from King's College, Manchester and Birmingham for Ancient History - as well as Leeds(History and Roman Civilization) and Newcastle(History).

My first choice is King's and haven't decided on my insurance but is anyone else planning on going there or to any of the others I mentioned?

Hey when did you get your offer from King's? I'm still waiting on mine :/

Umm I got it on the 7th it was really out of the blue since I expected them to reject me since i'm only predicted ABB and I have no A's at GCSE so i'm sure that if someone with as terrible a profile to apply to King's as mine can get an offer, i'm sure you will.

The offer was AAA rather than the AAAb they advertised aswell 0_o I hope you get an offer and I bet the only reason you haven't yet is because they're sifting through all the applications. So goodluck
