does middlesex university say this to everyone who gets an offer?

i received an email and it says this:

Good news! We’re delighted to say that we think you’re great. So great, in fact, that we’ve made you an official offer to study with us. Congratulations. The tutors were very impressed by your application – you’re just the person we’re looking for at Middlesex.

do they say this to everyone who receives an offer?

I don't want to believe that's what they actually sent you.

i am not sure if that was patronizing or that they just say that to all their applicants who they gave offers to

It's horribly patronising, but it's also marketing, and for every offer holder who is turned off by it, there's likely to be another who is flattered into firming Middlesex.

Cringeeeee. It's probably sent to many others, why make a personalised message for someone which is going to be more time consuming.

I'd hate getting an offer message like that, its just literally like the university is bumlicking you on purpose such that they want you to firm it, you should be bumlicking the university you want to go to, not the other way around :lol:

Please tell me you aren't planning on firming them. That email alone would put me off

It was for Publishing and Media.
I got a conditional offer a few days after I applied, which made no sense because I've already finished my a-levels and am not studying so having a conditional offer based on grades was odd.
Then a week later they emailed around saying that the course had been suspended for 2014 entry.
Then two months later, bam- cringeworthy email saying they'd love to have me on the course.
And then yesterday the course was officially removed from UCAS... O.o

Really odd... doesn't seem like anyone in the admissions team know what's going on... :s-smilie:

That is so bad! what the hell are middlesex doing lol, so unorganized and to top it off with this cringey email i am surprised you aren't pissed off lol, tbh they should have given you an unconditional offer, since you completed your a levels unless they wanted you to retake to get higher grades, maybe they are going to do the course 1 more time this year then remove it from the course list. which campus are you going to be situated in? i think sciences are in hendon, but i am not sure about publishing and media.

I'm pretty sure Publishing was on the Hendon campus as well - but I'm not entirely sure.
Well, I'm not annoyed with them really - just a bit bemused. If they wanna be unorganised they can. I have two other offers from Unis I prefer so I'm very lucky in that I'm not relying on Middlesex. :/ Just seems a bit silly of them...
