Philosophy? If so, same :frown:

Yup

I feel so stupid after all that prep. Everything hinges on next week! What's your firm and the grades you need?

thought the decrease in applicants had only been something teeny like 2%...

In Scotland yes but in England applications fell round by about 8% according to Ucas so if any year you were to narrowly miss a grade in (England) this would probaly be one of the best years due to the increase of fees.

*Deciding firm and insurance choice* 'Yeah, I'll be happy at either of those two.... win win situation :biggrin:

'

After exams: NO I DON'T WANT TO GO TO MY INSURANCE *sulk*

Fml. Good luck everyone, I'm sure (hopefully) we have all done well and will/have got what we need! :biggrin:

I really hope this is true. I applied to do Accounting and Finance @ Sheffield and have an offer of AAB. I have 2 As (1 in maths) but I'm not sure if I did well enough in wednesday's paper to get the B in sociology.

Does anyone reckon they might be slightly lenient with me if I got AAC as I have an A in maths, and my original offer was meant to be AAC but was raised as I've taken 3 years.

*clutches at straws* :tongue:
