Durham Applicants 2013 entry
Welcome to the University of Durham forum: where prospective and current students can discuss everything from the differences between colleges to the nightlife, an abundance of Rahs to the Stockton campus.

Tom
History
No idea on the college. Not sure it's worth pitting my hopes on a particular college until I get my AS results.
History, English Lit, Government & Politics, Sociology (hopefully dropping) + EPQ
Definitely first choice.
I'd love to get into Durham, but these exams are grinding me down, and I may have just sacrificed my grade in English to focus an essay on an innuendo...
If I get AAAA, I will definitely apply. If I get AAAB, with decent UMS in the three that I'm taking onto A2, I will certainly consider it. I'm rather hoping the fact that I go to a rather shoddy inner-city sixth form will make up for my average (by the looks of TSR) GCSE grades.

They asked about climaxes in the narrative... I used poetic license.

Re: Durham Applicants 2013 entry
A lot of the people posting here, it seems, are applying for history / arts . . . and not much science. Are the sciences very competitive at Durham? (Particularly physics?
)
How much of a chance would I have if I happened to get a 6 in SL IB Physics? Their website says 7 in HL Physics and 6 in HL Maths, or vice versa, but my school doesn't offer HL Physics, and I don't think I could have gotten a 7 on the IB exam. :/ -

Re: Durham Applicants 2013 entryI think if you only have SL Physics at a 6 you may not stand a chance given they want a 6/7 at HL - there may be stuff in the HL course that they assume as prior knowledge. Given it's not really your fault that your school doesn't offer HL I'd contact the department and ask.
