Re: UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**
I'm indecisive as to what uni to firm and which other to put as reserve.. I made a thread about it (which in hindsight maybe I shouldn't have done) I shall put the link below for people who would like to help!

In short I don't know if to firm Bristol, Kings, Sheffield, UEA or Surrey for Politics?! -
Re: The UCAS 2012 Decision ThreadI think i got one of mine at like 9pm. Could be wrong, i just remember being surprised cause it was rather late.(Original post by shaaar)
Has anyone had a reply in the evening or at weird times? I want a UCAS email so bad.. -
Re: UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**Nothing seems to be completely compulsory from my experiences, when i was applying for college i was competing for a place against my friend and they gave him the place even though he got a D in maths and i got a B. They said achieving a C in Maths was compulsory to get a place, but clearly not. I know that's college and not university but still. (Oh and they said the reason they picked him over me was cause he applied before i did)(Original post by anonystudent)
I had my interview today, it went surprisingly well. I was told an offer would be made for both courses, though my interviewer felt I was best suited for CS.
I also brought up my Math GCSE resit (having failed with a D at secondary school) within the conversation, he said as long as I hit the predicted grade of D*D*D* (Extended Diploma) and I don't completely screw up and go beyond unclassified boundary in my GCSE I should be fine. He spoke to the admission team for me and got back to me on it. I'm just a little puzzled
I though GCSE Mathematics was completely compulsory?
Can anyone shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it. -

Would it be at all silly to choose Bangor over Sheffield for Biology/Zoology? -
Re: UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**Trust me, you wont regret choosing the UEA. I live nearby, and I can safely say that it's a fantastic university with a great reputation all round(Original post by aspirinpharmacist)
Hahaha. Just firmed UEA for Pharmacy yesterday, then go on this thread and freak out at the "Don't be one of those people who chose their firm and insurance in February and wished they hadn't." Ah well, if I'm screwed, I'm screwed.

Re: UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**
I made my decision about a month ago.
I've firmed Sussex, and insured Royal Holloway for BA Geography
I rejected Leicester, Queen Mary and Sheffield. I found it SO difficult rejecting Sheffield though - it's such a great university, and to be honest its facilities but Sussex to shame. However it didn't seem a very "me" university, so i'm excited to start at Sussex in September! -
Re: UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**That's a comfort then.(Original post by swbp)

I'm really looking forward to going there.
And then other people say "isn't it a bit early to choose?" and I freak out slightly.

Re: UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**Thing is though, I haven't spoken to anyone who went to UEA and didn't love it there, so I don't know why I'm worrying. That's great, it'll be so weird to actually meet someone from TSR.(Original post by boocat)

Help! Deciding between Southampton and Bath for German & Spanish...I really don't know how to decide! Bath is prettier but Southampton does better in the league tables. I have loads of school friends going to Southampton but a cousin going to Bath...ahhh!!!

Re: UCAS 2012 - Discuss your decisions **here**
Just made my choices! Big sigh of relief now that the whole UCAS process is over until August.
I firmed Sheffield and insured Nottingham Trent for Journalism (thereby rejecting Bournemouth and UCLAN).
I know it's early but I've had my heart set on Sheffield for months and months - can't see that changing!
Looking forward to September now!
I'm really looking forward to going there.
Seriously though, I'm so torn
