Re: Ucas 2012 Actuarial ScienceKent has a lovely campus and the City town itself is really nice too. Although, I have my offer from Kent already and I didn't realise they accepted general studies so i'm not really sure how well they compare to my other choices anymore because I was under the impression all the good universities did not accept GS.(Original post by machair)
Is kent nice then?, Im not sure about kent it just sounds boring but they keep sending me shiny applicant booklets which is making me consider
did you apply for a year in industry? and where did you apply? my choices were kent keele uea liverpool and plymouth -

Re: Ucas 2012 Actuarial ScienceIm well nervous about this interview!, i dont know why usually im so chill about being interviewed but its just because I really want to go to UEA and i need an offer of ABB(Original post by CloClo7)
Its between Kent and UEA for the firm I think
Its a lovely campus, similar to UEA tbh but with slightly less concrete, and I thought the accomodation was nicer (though more expensive - goodbye ensuite). The course sounds good - and more respected than UEA.
I went for Heriot Watt, Kent, UEA, Southampton (with Maths) and City (foundation but they moved me to the higher course). I really want a year in industry, but if Kent/UEA give me the same offer I'll insure with Heriot Watt.
I chose my courses based on exemptions and year out...hence why I disragrded Keele and Liverpool
what tips did that open day guy give you? -

Re: Ucas 2012 Actuarial ScienceI reckon City would give you the offer (however I found out last week that my maths prediction was raised without me being told, after I spent months arguing about it(Original post by ajmartin6)

Re: Ucas 2012 Actuarial ScienceYeah got an offer from City y'day(Original post by CloClo7)

. Our school is stubborn and don't like to predict A*'s . . I'm pretty sure I can get one though if i work at it. Waiting patiently for QUB. at the same time not getting an offer from there would make my decision alot easier lol

And the maths department at my school told me they wouldn't predict me one cos of my GCSE result...but then predicted it on UCAS. However one I was told would be raised wasn't Oh well, can't complain as they did the job!

Re: Ucas 2012 Actuarial ScienceWhere are you firming?(Original post by azad_30)
having a dilemma here whether to choose soton or kent as my insurance choice
Have you visited both? I'd go for the one which had the nicest feel. Have you applied for the year in industry - I think that is really benefical. But at the end of the day its your decision. -

Re: Ucas 2012 Actuarial ScienceHow are you going to write your personal statement for both Medicine and Actuarial Science?(Original post by mubashir9995)
hey guys i applied for medicine, do you think its a good idea to apply for acturial sciences in manchester for my fifth option?
Its a lovely campus, similar to UEA tbh but with slightly less concrete, and I thought the accomodation was nicer (though more expensive - goodbye ensuite). The course sounds good - and more respected than UEA.
