Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012 mk II

Nothing else on TV other than Come Dine with me

I finished watching Games of Thrones and I'm going to plan on finishing the recent season of Supernatural after exams. So I've got a huge list ready, but I know what you mean.. I have to wait a year till new seasons of the shows I watch start

Mhm! My mum's side of family are Portuguese, so I'll be supporting them tonight. Should be a good game, mind you we lost to Turkey 3-1 and drew with Macedonia so I'm not getting my hopes up too high!

Ouch

I love that show! Well any show with food really

hahah another Game of Thrones fan You just like all the sex dont you!?

I see, how exotic. I just looked closely at your Avatar for the first time... Chelsea

I guess the loss to Turkey wasn't so bad, but to not score against Macedonia? I mean come on!



I think one of my friend's mum went on the show haha, no idea how she did though!

I honestly had no idea how graphic it was till I watched it , but I've heard Spartacus is the one most filled with sex, violence etc. As it goes, the storyline pretty good! Not sure if you watch it, but Tyrion is probably the best character there

The best team around you mean? haha, I take it you're not a Blues fan?

sorry to be off topic, anyone else read 'Nudge'? What did you think of it? Im halfway through, and im not sure quite what to make of it
i would ask on the 2013 thread, but who knoes when ill get a reply

I've read it and I thought it was a really interesting book. I even mentioned it in my personal statement haha. It also led me to read other behavioural economics books such as predictably irrational.

Why was predictably irrational like? I was thinking about getting that.

Maybe i missed a bit out, why is it always talking about pensions . I think some things are interesting, but i dont feel im getting much from it, i might read predictably irrational next because i am actually interesreted in behavioural economics, i might do my IRR on it...

Haha, didn't he (and sunstein) create a pensions scheme (save more tomorrow) so I guess they just want to hype it up . Have you got to the part with the Seattle windshield pitting epidemic yet? I thought that was hilarious haha. What's IRR?

What's the deal with applying through extra if I didn't apply for uni this year?

Is there a way to apply to somewhere like Durham for Economics on results day grades permitting if it is in extra? Or did I have to apply to 5 unis before the deadline?

30 June - the final deadline. All applications that we receive by this date are processed and sent to the universities and colleges. Applications that we receive after 30 June will not be sent to the universities and colleges in the normal way. Instead, these applications will go directly into Clearing.

Trust me, Spartacus makes GoT seem prude. It's quite different to GoT bar the swords and sandals setting (maybe fur boots are more appropriate for GoT). I saw GoT season 2 off the back of watching all 3 seasons of Spartacus and GoT seemed so dull. I stopped following GoT for a couple weeks and then caught up and it was great stuff. But, the pacing is quite different imo. Spartacus is a lot more action-packed.

The prize is £1000! and um foood!

Oh really now, I don't but erm noted.

hahahaha I'm about as much of a Chelsea fan as Torres is value for money Congrats on Champions though

I tried giving Spartacus a chance, but I just never got into it, probably because I only gave it 15 mins whereas I gave GoT a good 3-4 episodes . I'll watch a few episodes of Spartacus and give it a go, I need some new shows to watch!


I see what you did there, but after his performance for Spain today.. I might agree with you -_-'

And thanks

If you have not applied in this cycle:

You will need to do so normally through the UCAS "apply" bit

If you HAVE applied for university this year, post results day = Clearing/adjustment

I haven't applied for this cycle.

Will I be based on the grades I received at AS (which were pretty bad) or will they make a decision on results day once I have my results (which I'm confident will satisfy Durham's requirement)

*cough* exams

My friend absolutely hated the first episode. I persevered and was up episode 8-9 by the time he gave it another chance. He loved it so much he finished all three seasons before I did (I only saw 1-2 a day, he went crazy. He was absolutely hooked). But, yea some great villains on the show.

What are they?

I especially like your chant "He scores when he wants"
