What are you currently studying/have studied. Personal Training
Which universities are you applying to. Derby for the BA and FDA, Cumbria not sure on where else to apply
Which course(s) do you want to do. Outdoor leadership
Any other info you feel like sharing. I'll be 21 when I start - I have enough UCAS points for the foundation courses which is great but it's so much harder applying alone rather than being in year 12 full of people applying and teachers to help

Hey
I see you've applied for HSPS too, what college if you don't mind me asking? And have you heard from them yet (if not applying for the March deadline)
Post what you're applying to, what qualifications you already have and what offers you have received (if you've received them yet).

I'm applying for Lucy Cavendish, but waiting for the March deadline. However 3 people doing my Access course have received interview invites about two weeks ago. One of them for Law at Lucy.

I applied to SOAS and LSE for international relations as well! I'm doing Sociology (My favourite), Psychology, History and English on my access course.
Good luck!

Thanks! Good luck to you too! When did you send your application? And did you hear back from either of them yet? If you don't mind me asking.

Tbh I sent mine like last week, I was having awful trouble with my PS. Ended up mentioning my father (navy, was part of falklands war and so resolution 502 of UNSC) and Islamic state (I regularly talk to a pen pal about it who lives in the peninsular).
Tbh I don't mind if I don't make them, I've applied to Cardiff and Aberystwyth as well, both with amazing IR dept. Also since I want to do journalism, Cardiff would be my main choice before I do my MA (top 5 in the country for Journalism).
Plus you just need to pass the course for Cardiff. Keep your opinions open guys! Especially if you come from a poor economic area like your truely.

Well, best of luck
I have an interview at Newnham in 2 weeks for HSPS... Access students represent!Any one having a longer than normal wait from unis? I applied in mid september, with OU credits (90 at lvl 1, 30 at lvl 2), and am yet to here anything. I thought I'd be a strong candidate as the lvl 2 module is much more advanced than an A level would provide. I am applying to a competitive course (Comp Sci), so I suppose there is that. I guess I'm just getting paranoid with the constant checking of emails!!

I feel your pain, I've only heard from two choices so far... But they do have until May to get back to you, so try not to worry! I think its more dependent on how they organise and work their way through applications, and no reflection of your merit.

Thank you
Of course, anything you want to ask, I'll hopefully be able to let you know following my interview (aside from any specifics as they make it clear this isn't allowed).What are you currently studying/have studied: I have a BSc from decades ago, am currently working
Which universities are you applying to: Sticking to unis within travelling distance from London
Which courses do you want to do: Audiology
Any other info you feel like sharing: Am one of the oldest on this thread After a career change some years ago, am now working in an area related to Audiology and am hugely motivated to learn more, get qualified and start working in this field.
I think it's quite interesting that some of the older mature students here are having a huge change in direction and quite a lot of us moving into healthcare and related fields.
