University of Birmingham Applicants 2012

That's a fair sample size, although I doubt all students would have filled it out - why don't you stop trying to par the university by making immature comments about statistics, when I simply asked a genuine question about the size.
Obviously, I'm sure you agree, surveys aren't the best account overall.

I'm continually confused about your attitude to other people however. I'm not "some Bham representee trying to save face for them". I'm an actual student who has an opinion, and tries to put that across in an unbiased way to help potential students - this is not marketing.
It's obviously impossible for anyone to be entirely unbiased, so I'll point out the things that influence my responses. You seem adamant that your opinion represents some larger consensus among students, which I feel is untrue, hence my responses to the contrary.

You say that you should let people like me decide for ourselves but you're constantly bad mouthing everything and not giving people a chance to see what the uni is really like. What you're saying isn't really helping anybody, so maybe you should take your own advice.

I wouldnt worry about him....hes just a another troll...every Uni has one...watch he'll be bitching about his first job and anything else in the universe that he can possibly bitch about lol.....
In actual fact Its hard not feel sorry for Txi....Regardless of what University you go too whether it be Birmingham uni, Bristol, LSE or even DMU you should make the absolute possible best of the time and opportunities available....so what if your not spoon-fed options go out and search for urself....so what if the lecturers dont give a damn you go out and make sure they do....Uni is full of oppotunities you just have to search and search and search and apply yourself to get the end result....dont bitch about not bieng at the party your already there make the most of it.

All the students fill it out ? Are you serious ?

You should know that is an impossible task.

But the sample being in the millions is MORE than a enough to be taken seriously, you should know that - QM for economists or business in your case.

When calculating how many people you say have completed it, you use the figure of 3000 final years for each university. I reckon that accounts for a fairly large proportion of students that Birmingham has graduating each year, so it seemed you were implying that pretty much all of them had filled it out. As well as that, a lot of universities have much less students.

Not really in fact the final year numbers for Bham should be over 2x that, 25k/3 = 8.33 thousand final year students per year.

but OK,if it puts you at ease, then take 1/2 of 3000 students a year, would still put the overall survey sample in the millions, more than credible.

Some places have less, some have even more !

On the whole, they have less. Students doing postgraduate or part-time courses are going to distort that final year number too, but it doesn't matter.

Hey! I'm thinking of applying to this course for 2013 - just wondered if you don't mind my asking what your predicted grades are?

hey when did you get it!? and what are ur AS and A2 grades?
