CompSci Admissions Day: 29/11/2014

I was invited (via e-mail today) to the Computer Science admissions day, all expenses paid up to £100(Fancy that, eh?) but UCAS is not telling me they have made me an offer.

Why would they send me this or is UCAS lagging behind?

Anyone else had this, for any course?

Is this for Newcastle? I received one today, along with one from Sheffield. Is it essential that I go, or will I miss out on something?

I've got an invite to an applicant day too (29th of November). My thinking is that if they are prepared to reimburse £100 is that they are likely to give an offer if you attend the visit day.

Wishful thinking perhaps!

Computer Science, I trust?

Should be great fun! I've noticed other people who seem to be getting these admissions day invites are 21+? I hope I'm not the only one who is 17 ._.

Yeah, I've applied to Computer Science with a year in industry

I'm 22 years old... what's your problem with older students? :P

I got this email about a week ago, also for Computer Science (I'm 17 btw as it seems you don't like older people ). I emailed them asking them if this meant I had got an offer, they replied saying that this doesn't necessarily mean you have got an offer. I believe it isn't essential to attend but I am attending anyway. Not entirely sure what to wear? Don't want to go too smart (smart shirt, smart trousers) or like smart-casual (smart-ish shirt, dark jeans)?

How can I get myself on one of these admissions days? Does every course do it? I have an offer but no admissions day thing...

No youre not the only one but yes you're a minority.

Hm do a lot of people do gap years then or something?

Well... that was a fun day. Dat interview. What did people talk about in their interviews?

Also, loved the 'icebreaker' group I was with, none of us talked to each other. CompSci stereotypes are too true! I was in group D, while I still remember, anyone else in that?

Finally - Gl to everyone waiting for offers next week!
