Sheffield applicants 2014

How long after did you get your booklets regarding accommodation?. I received an offer for accounting and financial management last week. Also what offer did you get?

Went to see Sheffield uni, it was awful! The staff are rude and never answered my questions properly. Everyone's doing their own thing. Was really turned off. Deffo not firming Sheffield. One of the teachers from the management department goes they usually don't look at the overall application, most of the time they look at the grades then give offers. This turned me off as I've spent weeks on my PS. I just feel Sheffield isn't very professional.

I got my offer on 25th november, the date on my letter about accommodation was dated the 3rd december

Oh ok thank you. I should be getting it soon then

What course are you applying for? Did you get a chance to look at the accomodation?

Yeah you should! You firming sheffield then? if so what accommodation are you thinking of?

Shouldn't the mods sticky this thread instead of the 2013 one?

I will do If I can find the special thread glue

Edit: Found it, and done!

Not sure to be honest. But if i am firming i will choose the endcliffe accomodation. I was watching some clips on YouTube and it looks very clean and nice. Only downside is that it's 25 mins away from the uni. Wbu?

Oh, mine for Journalism is the 19th March, I'll probably end up asking you if it's worth it tbh.

Do you reckon you're going to firm it?

I was so happy!! Unfortunately no more offers as of yet! :/ yeah, and it's a portable instrument too haha! :P naah I don't think they mind what instrument you play, as long as you can play relatively well! I love the piano, although I'm not brilliant at it. I'm about to take my Grade 5 as I need to be at that standard for a couple of other unis. Is Sheffield your top uni?

Hi everyone. Just a quick question from my friend.. 'If your offer states Distinction Distinction B' for an ABB course. If you get Distinction* Distinction* (which in the eyes of uni's should be grades AA) then will you be able to get away with a C in your other subject to get in?' Thanks

If a course is looking for ABB then a C may still not be good enough as they don't want anything less than a B. I say may not as it is entirely up to their discretion and varying factors depending on other offer holders and what they got and so forth. Strictly speaking AAC does not mean one has officially met an offer of ABB, you could get A*A*C and you still wouldn't be seen as meeting the offer grades. Exceptions to this are courses looking at UCAS points but this generally doesn't apply to Sheffield.

In conclusion not an automatic meeting of the offer grades but still in with a chance at the Uni's discretion.
