September 15th. I was really nervous because UCL is pretty much tied for first place in my choices, so if I don't get into Cambridge I'll still be happy! What about you?

Yes I applied to UCL for German and Norwegian and just got an offer on Wednesday. Incidentally, I'm applying for German and beginner's Spanish at Cambridge, sort of similar to you in that sense.

Did you have to have an interview?

UCL didn't require me to have an interview; I just received an unconditional offer as I completed my A Levels last year and met all the requirements. As for Cambridge, I haven't received my invitation for an interview, but I think I'll receive it sometime soon, maybe next week.

Hey!

I've applied for French & ab inito Russian at the following (in order of preference):
Cambridge
Durham
St Andrews
Edinburgh
Exeter
I've got an awful feeling I'll be waiting for a long time, since from what I've heard these are all notoriously slow universities. I applied on October 4th and still haven't got anything, which is pretty frustrating D:
That said, my best friend's sister's first offer was from Cambridge, in January, when she applied a few years ago and she ended up getting all five!

For anyone who's into that sort of thing, my AS grades were 5As, in History, Geography, Economics, French (& General Studies, our school requires us to take it...), I've dropped history and I'm predicted 4A*s with a 7 in ab inito Russian (an IB certificate).

Oh, I've also applied to Magdalene college in Cambridge & St Mary's in Durham!

Good luck everyone! :biggrin:

Hey!
I'm currently taking French and Spanish A Levels (as well as biology and psychology) and am a bit torn. I can't decide whether to do Spanish and Psychology or Spanish and French.

If I do Spanish and French, I'd like to start a third ab initio. I have a little knowledge of German and Italian but can't decide between them!!

Hey I'm currently studying A2 German and AS Spanish and hope to take them both onto university. I enjoy learning German a lot and it is useful language to have. It's not to difficult to learn there are some grammar parts that are a bit confusing at first but once you have learnt them there not bad at all. German is a very logical language and lots of words are made up of other German words so you can sometimes still understand them. Obviously I have never studied Italian so can't help you much with that but I know that it is similar to French and very similar to Spanish so that might be the easiest option out of the two. I would personally say Spanish and French just because of languages are in high demand so you are more likely to get a job but really it depends on what you find interesting. Where are you thinking of applying?

Hey! On thursday my school sent my application for Spanish and German to Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham, Newcastle and Sheffield Hallam. I got a conditional offer on Friday from Sheffield Hallam, for 280 UCAS points :smile:

Hi! Thanks for the advice!

I decided to do pure languages so I've had offers for French, Spanish and German from Newcastle and for French and Spanish from Leeds and Manchetser. I'm waiting to hear from York and Durham too :smile:
