How have your applications been getting on... any offers?

I'm applying for Accounting and Finance. I got offers from Kent (ABB) and Reading (AAB).
I'm also applying for LSE (AAA), Surrey (AAA) and City (AAA).

I'd love to go to LSE, but I don't think I'll get it. It's very competitive!!

What's your opinion on Kent? Do you think its highly regarded and a top uni? Do you want to go there/are you considering?

I live in Kent so I know the area quite well and Canterbury is a lovely place. I wouldn't regard it as a top uni but it is not a bad one at all. It might be my insurance choice. It is a respected uni and so far I'm quite impressed by how informative they have been after I applied.

Seeing as you love in Kent, what's your opinion of Medway, as that's where my course is based.
Also in your opinion which uni is better overall, and for accounting, Royal Holloway or Kent?

Thanks!:smile:

I never visited Medway before sorry. I don't really know much about Royal Holloway but I've just looked at a few league tables for accounting and Kent come in at about 22/23 but Royal Holloway aren't listed in the top 100.
