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.

Yeah I'm upset too! If I apply for Russian that will be my highest offer :/(Original post by Oli-Ol)
Did anyone else get the email about changes to entry requirements? So upset about the change to Modern Languages... an offer of AAB would have been perfect

Re: Durham Applicants 2013 entryMy ideal situation would be to have an A*AA offer from Cambridge, and then an AAB offer from Durham, but as I don't think I'm Cambridge material it would have been amazing to have an AAB firm(Original post by Etoile)

Re: Durham Applicants 2013 entryYeah, I got that e-mail, but don't see how I can be disappointed considering Nat Sci was already A*AA(Original post by Oli-Ol)

Re: Durham Applicants 2013 entrySame, although I was also thinking about Exeter as my insurance, which has AAB as well, so that's probably more sensible... unless they change too(Original post by Oli-Ol)

Re: Durham Applicants 2013 entryUnfortunately I'm struggling quite a lot with my AS levels, and I don't seem to have done as much extra work as most Oxbridge people do! Also, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure that I could handle the work. But thank you for the vote of confidence(Original post by 117r)
You have 12 A*s at GCSE and are doing 6 AS Levels, 1 GCSE and an EPQ.

thanks, they were the nicer exams though. Your GCSEs are pretty good!
Did/ do you have exams this summer? As in mocks for pre-U... It's been so long since I haven't had external exams in the summer... must be quite nice. Next year will be hard though -

Oh yes, I only do Pre-U Physics lol so I'm still in the middle of AS modules. And I do have an internal exam that will determine predicted grade so there's still revision to be done etc. -
Re: Durham Applicants 2013 entry
Name: Bulbsaur
Course applying for: Geography Bsc or BA (undecided)
College applying for: Unsure.
Studying currently: Just finished AS Maths, Geography, History and Physics.
1st choice?: Since I doubt i'll get into Cambridge, probably, but I'm not even sure if I stand a good chance at Durham :/ Pretty sure I'll have 3 As but probably a C in physics since I failed the exam, and the Durham offer is A*AA so a C at AS in something that could be seen as relevant to the Bsc won't exactly look great.. -
