    Thanks guys!

    On a side note, i got an offer from LSE for Geography with Economics and now i'm really unsure of which uni to firm. I think UCL has a more all-rounded course both in terms of Geography and Economics (LSE is major-minor) but I'm really interested in Human Geography esp Development or Geopolitics. Help? I desperately need some second opinions >< Anyone in the same situation? I know there was this undergrad at UCL for Econ n Geo n he rejected LSE
    Congrats on the LSE offer! well i've applied for just the geography course so don't know much about the Geography with Economics course but the main advice i would give you is to check through the course outline and pick the one that appeals to you the most. Im in the same situation but with Bristol and UCL (given that i get an offer). Just research around both Uni's and see which one appeals to you more.

    I got an offer from UCL this morning! : D : D : D so pleased, easily my favourite.

    Thought'd it would be AAA but surprisingly it was AAB, specifying an A in Geography and a pass in my EPQ. Really happy! : D

    I have the exact same dilemma. Received my LSE offer a while back and got my UCL offer this morning after going to the selection day on the 14th. I need some help on deciding which to choose however I think I am swaying towards LSE due to wanting to become a banker upon graduation which I feel is best achieved at LSE. LSE>UCL OR UCL > LSE ....Need advice please!

    Congrats!! I no exactly how u feel lol, not that its a laughing matter, it's jst a relief to know your not the only one indecisive about ur uni choices. I think i'll make a thread to ask for more opinions. They're both really good unis that banks consider in their application. as long as u have a second first or first :P

    Accepted my UCL offer! With Edinburgh as an insurance, is anyone else doing the Geography with a year abroad course?
