Haha :-P What did they offer you out of curiosity? :-)

Alright, I hope it will be a wise choice *hint hint* haha, anyway, enjoy the open day. Let me know how it went!

Got all my university offers for Computer Science, just need to choose my firm and insurance choices!

Nice! You've got loads of time to decide. We can wait till May to decide and I probably will. I know what I'm going to firm/insurance but just in case I change my mind...

I am not choosing my firm/insurance choices for some time, personally.

I got offers from Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Nottingham and Queen Mary How about you?

Very nice places, but Scotland's too cold for me You must have a favourite or a few you like more though surely?
Got my 5 from Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Birmingham and Bath. Almost certainly going to firm Cambridge and insurance UCL but there's a very slim chance I'll insurance Imperial instead, so I'm not going to add it to UCAS for a while.

Offers from very respectable universities.

Very likely I am going to firm Glasgow and have Queen Mary/Nottingham as an insurance, but only time will tell. Hoping not to get caught up in the violence/crossfire up in Glasgow if I do end up going there!

Ohhh if only it were that simple. I went for Imperial's G401 (MEng single honours CS) and got an offer of A*A*AA and a 1 in STEP II.

Dayummm, well like I said, we're doing lots in my Further Maths class, what was the reason for such a high requirement? They're average is A*AA with no STEP?

We're spending the rest of the year doing STEP in FM now so that should be useful. If I can't meet the STEP requirements, I'll have to opt for a different course, but I shouldn't think it will be too bad.

No, they claim their 'typical' is A*AA but in reality (they said this themselves on the interview day) that's a minimum. At another interview day, they said their strongest applicants get the hardest offers because they're more capable or some bs like that, so...f*** 'em I'll go elsewhere.

Like that make sense? Imperial can be like that. My brother applied for Chem Eng, got an interview, and never sent him a letter or email to turn him down, just did it over UCAS. Not like he couldn't have met the grades, and he did the right subjects.

I have the same attitude - I'd rather go to Cambridge and the course looks a lot better at Cambridge.

No, they claim their 'typical' is A*AA but in reality (they said this themselves on the interview day) that's a minimum. At another interview day, they said their strongest applicants get the hardest offers

Well at least you can take pride from the fact that you were considered a strong applicant

Yay I guess? I'd rather have been considered a weak one and been able to actually use their offer though...

True. Well if what you've said is true, that'll be no step for me! (unless I get rejected... And get nothing )

Stay optimistic, I didn't think I'd get an offer from my top 3 choices, but I did.
