Has anyone firmed University of Leicester? Or has anyone got an interview offer from Leeds or any other University? If so, how are you going to prepare for any interview?
Got offers from Sheffield, York, Royal Holloway and UEA. I got rejected from Durham but they've emailed me about 3 times asking me to apply for psychology/anthropology etc.. I feel quite offended haha!

That's strange, why do they want you to apply for another course?? What did you say in your personal statement, haha? :tongue:

They said that it's a 'referral for high achieving applicants' - obviously my personal statement was about English lit. and philosophy, but they couldn't offer me a place for that... So strange! I've never heard of it happening before.

Yeah, Sheffield :smile: Durham's obviously an amazing university but there's no point doing a degree I don't want to!

I'm interested to see what other people would choose to do. Offers i'm considering: King's, Queen Mary, UEA for English lit.

What would you guys firm, insure, and reject? (Not taking into account the entry requirements)

Thanks
