Re: Politics Applicants 2012my gcses were rubbish lol. i got good grades in humanities but a C in maths and LSE requires a B for international relations(Original post by amk933)
I'd go for Sheffield and Edinburgh.
But why don't you put LSE on that list as well? I assume your GCSE's are fine considering your A2 predictions.

it annoyed me for 5 minutes before i realised it was my fault i did crap in maths.

Re: Politics Applicants 2012can I ask why you chose politics and not international relations?(Original post by IB_19)
I sent my application last Thursday, and I've applied to Bath (Politics and International Relations) and just Politics at Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester and East Anglia. I have one offer so far from East Anglia. -
Re: Politics Applicants 2012I really liked the look of both, but in the end I chose Politics as it looked more interesting for me.(Original post by maxcartwright)
can I ask why you chose politics and not international relations?

Re: Politics Applicants 2012I was thinking maybe UEA, anyone been to the open day that could tell me if they liked it or not as its abit late for me to go now!(Original post by Smuke)
Newcastle? Southampton? UEA?
Newcastle is AAB-ABB and if I got an AAB offer it would be abit useless for my insurance so i dont really want to take the risk!
And southampton is AAB too

Re: Politics Applicants 2012
Anyone heard for straight politics from Durham, Bristol and York?
GCSE: A*A*A*A*AAAAAA
A2 Predictions: A* in History, A* in Politics, A in Philosophy and Ethics, A in Drama
Choices: Durham, Exeter, Bristol, York and Nottingham
So far had AAA back from Exeter, and AAB from Nottingham -
Re: Politics Applicants 2012I definitely mentioned The Prince in my PS, and also other political philosophy writings. I'm applying for just straight politics across the board and I hope it pays off! I don't know about other courses, but Politics (SH) seem to be quite philosophically based so may be worth it! I guess you'll just have to try and link it to every course you're applying too.(Original post by Steevee)
Well I'm apllying for various courses ranging between Politics, International relations and Modern History
Do you think putting books like The Prince and Leviathon in my personal statement is a bit useless? Bearing in mind they are viewed as more philosophical tomes, or are they relevant enough? -
Re: Politics Applicants 2012

Re: Politics Applicants 2012I got an offer from Sussex for Politics & Philosophy, so I think they must have started giving out straight Politics offers.(Original post by Gallois)
Anyone heard from Sussex or Birmingham for straight Politics or Lancaster for Politics w/ Study Abroad?
I've had offers from Sheffield (my firm) and Manchester. -

Hey
You can't do Pol+Ir in main campus, only Pol. But I emailed them and asked if you can transfer from Cornwall to Exeter Campus after year 1, and they replied you can usually. I was a bit worried moving somewhere so small - only 4000 students on campus so wanted to check I could transfer there for the worst case that i didn't like it! - hope that helps!
Where else have you applied?
