That's so good :biggrin:

! I'm so jealous right now, because I've been anxiously waiting for a reply for 3 weeks now :/(which probably isn't that long, but still).

How long did they take to make you an offer? And if you don't mind, what were your predicted grades? And what are you studying right now? :smile:

Ostrich

GCSEs: 3A*s, 7 As
ASs: BBBC
Predicted: ABB

These were my choices, with UCAS sent off on 10th November :smile:

Choice 1: Exeter - pending
Choice 2: Cardiff - offer of ABB given
Choice 3: Kent - interview scheduled for next week
Choice 4: Nottingham - offer of ABB given
Backup: Plymouth - offer of BBB given

For those who applied to Exeter, any comment on the timing? :smile:

Seems it's quite a popular course there, which could explain why all the other universities have replied sooner than them... they're my first choice, so I'd really love a response from them! :frown:
