I'm not sure about what I want to specialise in yet, I hope to work that out sometime during the course! The placement year will probably help a lot with that because obviously it'll give me first- hand experience... What are you planning on specialising in?

If you make Aston your insurance choice, does anyone think they will take you anyway even if you miss the offer by one or even two grades?
I think I remember them saying something like if you put them as their firm and you miss out slightly they may be able to offer you a place still (depending on how much you miss it by etc.) But I'm not sure about insurance
I havent heard anything back from them as yet! what are your predictions?

Has anyone had any offers for Psychology yet? I've had two from Keele and Leicester, I've applied to Aston too and I wanted to know if they've given out many got psychology yet

I havent heard anything back from them as yet! what are your predictions?
Finally got my offer from Aston for Business and Management after a long wait! (Well only about a month :P) now all i need to get is the grades.

Thank you!

I do a mixture of BTEC's and A levels, so first year i got a Distinction and Merit in my BTEC subjects (Equivalent to AC) and BB in my A level subjects.

Second year i decided to drop the subject i got a merit in (should have got a distinction...) and now i am predicted two A's in my A levels along with a Distinction in my BTEC subject, i also picked up the EPQ which i am predicted an A in.

I've done almost the same!

I'm doing a BTEC in Business (D*) which is a walk in the park, literally lol along side with two A levels in Accounting (B) and Economics(A) and also doing an EPQ(A) and AS History (B)

I have received offers from my other choices (one rejection), just waiting for Aston before I can make a decision.

Is Aston going to your Firm choice?

Nice grades! BTEC is indeed a walk in the park, my college screwed the whole class over first year in BTEC so that prevented me from getting Distinction first year which sucked...

No reason why you shouldn't get an offer! I do plan to firm Aston however i want to visit York and Leicester first :smile:

Ahh! That doesn't matter now as you've dropped it and been predicted decent grades!

I think I'm going to put University of Birmingham as my Firm and then probably University of Nottingham as my insurance though this may change depending on what Aston offer me.
