Durham English applicants 2014!

Original post by BeccyW

Anyone heard anything outside of "Festive Greetings" recently? :smile:

I'm still waiting too...hopefully something comes through soon as Durham would be my number 1 choice.

Looks like we're applying to the same Uni's BeccyW! I believe I commented on your post over on the Warwick forum :smile:

I'm applying to St.Chads for literature.
Not heard anything yet, and I'm not too hopefull :/

Got a strong set of GCSE's (8A*2As and a B in french) but my A levels, or rather a particular A level has been my bane: english literature. I got 3 As in history, english language, theology (plus an A in GS) but a B in Lit...

Predicted A*A*A, and I'm doing the EPQ. The personal statement was great, according to a teacher who went to Durham, but it's all subjective.

Good luck to everyone else :smile:

Yes, you did! I remember you. Where else are you applying to apart from Durham and Warwick, if you don't mind me asking? :smile:

I have also applied to Bristol (received offer), St. Andrews and Edinburgh. How about you? Durham has always been my top choice but I am really interested in seeing Warwick too and am looking forward to the 24th! :biggrin:

This is so bizarre. I have applied to Edinburgh and Bristol too, so 4/5 of our choices are the same! My 5th one is Leeds. I hope you get an offer from Durham if that's where you've always wanted to go. I'm not sure on my top choice yet, but like you I'm looking forward to seeing Warwick. :smile:

I still haven't heard anything (after applying on 16th October) and I'm so worried! Is anyone else in the same situation?

I don't think that's too uncommon. I applied at the beginning of November and have yet to hear anything. I'm fairly sure Durham are notorious for taking a while to get back to applicants, so I think you don't have too much of a cause to worry about having not heard back yet. :smile:

Thank you! I'm glad there's not too much cause for concern. Durham is my first choice, so I'm dying to know! :tongue:

I've not actually visited to see it yet, so I'm not sure which university is my favourite at the moment. I'm going to wait and see if I like it as much as I'm hoping to if there's a post-offer open day! :smile:
