Already sent my application to Oxford, Leeds, York, Lancaster and Exeter for Maths&Computer Science on the 15th.
AS grades :AABC
Predicted: AAA, dropped the subject I got a C in.

I'm not getting my hopes up for Oxford but I though I might as well try. Didn't get any offers yet.

I've realised that for Nottingham BSc Computer Science and Management there are 16 places available however if I choose the Computer Science BSc or any other related course it says "approx 115 places for all courses in the school except BSc Computer Science and Management"

I really want to study that course but I'm not sure as to what they mean by that? Thanks a lot

What was your offer from exeter?

I am from Romania and they gave me a Conditional offer with 9 grade overall and 8 in math. So i think the equivalent is B in math and A overall or something like this.

I got an offer from York for maths and CompSci, and an invitation to an interview. They said that they can offer me AAA on the spot or if the interview goes well, lower the offer to AAB. Pretty happy with that!
