ohh really, what did you say? I don't want them to think I'm pestering them!

Well I've got offers from Nottingham Trent and Sheffield too, and don't know what to do!
I guess it depends what you want to do because I want to go into presenting etc.. so Broadcast Journalism will be better for me so I want Leeds. But then I love Sheffield!
But I think Sheffield or Leeds will look better rather than Nottingham Trent, it's a tough decision! Trent will definitely be my insurance though :smile:


well this was what i wrote:
"To whom it may concern,
My name is Chrisni Mendis, a 2012 applicant for the undergraduate Broadcast Journalism course. I had send my application in November, however, I have not received a confirmation from the university about receiving my application or any update relating to it.
As it is already been almost 3 months, I am quite worried about whether the admissions office had received my application due to the lack of response. May I be updated on the current situation?

Yours Truly,
Chrisni Mendis"

if that might help... but personally i think that you are being forward, confident and demanding if you send the letter... which is what a journalist must be right?

Well personally I LOVE SHEFFIELD. Course is great and it does cover a lot of media... but i still havnt gotten their reply :frown:... are you an international student... cuz I sent them a mail and they said the international student would get theirs late.

Ah that's true, but I had sent them a private e-mail providing them with a reference and some articles I wrote and they replied then so I can't say that I haven't heard. I think I'll just wait :smile:

I got my Sheffield offer about 2 weeks ago but I'm not an international student so don't worry! :smile: Will you choose Sheffield over Leeds then?

anyways... im thinking about endcliffe... but the city is closer to the journalism department... but i really like endcliffe though...

go for leeds! and wow psych, pretty impressive! just be happy that once sheffield starts you wont look back at it again :P
I made a desktop photo with huge letters saying i need to study for my mac so that i am more motivated hehehe.
and i am deffs choosing endcliffe, sheffield is relatively small anyway! still cant believe i have a chance of going there, so over the moon!
