Anyone else here applying at Westminster to study Psychology?

Just looking for anyone else who has applied. Haven't actually spoke to anyone else that has, or already studies the course!

This is my favourite uni out of my choices so I'm really hoping I get in, plus I am commuting and it will only take about an hour and ten minutes via train. The only problem is that I'm predicted BBB, not ABB :frown: I'm hoping that they are lenient!

Hey! I'm not applying for Psychology but I got an unconditional offer to study Politcs based on my ACC grades even though their entry requirements are BBB so they are lenient. :smile:

Heyyy! Good to hear you got onto the course :smile: and great to hear that they are lenient too :P

Hoping my personal statement can help me get my way in, as my tutor was impressed and thought it was excellent (even though I thought it was crap :/). Hoping they don't think it's crap either.

Nope I haven't sent it off my tuoturs a nut. She keeps telling me she'l get round to doing it but she never does. :frown:
Hiii I'm a first year Psychology student at Westminster! :smile:

They were quite lenient last year, I got in through clearing with ABC and a friend of mine with three C's!
The regents campus is really nice, well I like it! :') haha

I know a guy that commutes from Essex every day and it doesn't seem like much of a bother to him. On the other hand, a lot of student live in the Harrow and Wembley accommodation, it seems quite social from what I hear, I live at home unfortunately :frown: haha

Anything you'd like to know, feel free to PM me :biggrin:

Three C's?! I probably do stand a chance in getting in then haha :smile:.

Good to hear that someone else commutes from Essex. Was thinking it could be a pain to do every day, but thinking of it I spend more time waiting for busses now than I would getting to London haha.

How do you find the course?

Haha yeahh there are, quite a few but I'd say there's a good mix. There are more asians at the cavendish campus though, but everyone's really nice! Most of my friends are either Bengali or Pakistani, though I'm not Asian :')

Haha, I think it takes about two hours on the train. And yeahh, three C's! It's because there weren't as many people applying to uni last year compared to the other years due to fee rise, so they were much more lenient.

I actually really like the course, surprisingly Research Methods has become my favourite module haha I really disliked it at A-levels :lol: I can't wait to start the Social and Developmental module next semester! :biggrin:

You like Research Methods?! Never thought I'd hear someone say it haha :smile:.

What's your timetable like? Are you in for lectures every day or just a few days out of the week?

Haha i'm surprised at myself for liking it! So far, we've mostly been covering A-level stuff so it's pretty much just revision for me. We do quite a few studies so that's quite cool too! :biggrin:

I quite like my timetable! I'm only at the campus from Mondays to Wednesdays and finish at 2 and 12 on those days so we get quite a lot of free time! :smile:

Are you thinking of firming Westminster? I gotta warn you though, it's like 80% girls... but then again that might be good for guys :wink: haha
