Cardiff University Applicants 2015

Exciting! I speak Portuguese so it was an easy choice for me, I love it. Hope you get an offer. Where else have you applied? I've applied to Southampton, Reading and Swansea. Not heard from Southampton or Reading yet but have an offer for Swansea.

I am still waiting :'( sent it off first week of November....

Congratulations! I've been offered the same for literature and my current grades are BBCC - I'm terrified for the English retake this year. Good luck!

That's cool! Haha, thanks! Hope you get an offer too! I've applied to Bristol, Exeter, Bath and UCLAN. For slightly different courses at each place but always including Spanish. Got offers from Bristol and Bath, but really want offer from Cardiff, which is my first choice. What is your first choice?

Hope you make it! I'm dreading my retakes, English is the only subject I'm not resitting!

I'm retaking some of everything, it's such a pain! Will you be firming Cardiff?

Yes, I will. Are you?

All mine are also for Spanish with either Politics or Business/Management. Cardiff is my first choice and Reading will be my Insurance if I get an offer (I think). I still have one more choice to make but can't decide. Bristol, Bath & Exeter would be awesome but not sure Id get the grades. Cardiff is ABB for Spanish & Politics which I reckon is probably my tops! I live close to Exeter so that might be a bit close to home!!!!

Have made Cardiff my firm offer, when can we apply for accommodation and how do we do so?

Nice. Cardiff is my first choice too and Bristol will be my insurance if I get an offer from Cardiff. I have already done my A levels and got BBB, but have applied for ABB courses and have offers from everyone so far because even though they say it is done by grades, most places I emailed to check if I would be considered for an offer say my AS-grades give me enough points to get in. Cool. Good luck!

Hey that's really interesting - gives me hope for my final choice! Good luck with Cardiff - would be cool if we were in the same Spanish class!!!!!

Yh, Cardiff seem quite flexible on results tbh. As do other universities. E.g. one friend got into Cardiff needing AAB, but only had BBB. Same happened to another friend at a different uni. Last year results were lower than expected, cuz exam boards are becoming harsher. So even if don't get needed grades, they still might take you if they like you enough. :-) Good luck to you to! Keep me posted on your progress with Cardiff cuz we may well end up in some of the same classes. :-)

That's really interesting, and encouraging too, thanks for that. Are you on a gap year then if you've already got BBB? If you've got works experience then that will probably count for a lot on your application. Keep me posted on your Cardiff application too.

They're taking ages to reply to me

When did you apply? I haven't heard anything back from them but I applied december 9th

4th December. It's not that, it's more that I have two friends who applied for Cardiff who got an offer within the week. Of course each department works differently, but it just makes the wait *that* extra tantalising

Ah, I get what you mean. I've had two interview offers, one rejection and am still waiting on two uni's and my friend who applied the same day as me has had 5 offers.. we're predicted the same so I just feel like I'll never get in anywhere.
What course have you applied for?
