Last year again:

GSCEs: 8A* 2A
AS Levels: aaaaabb
A2 Levels: AAABB
AEAs:
Happy with offer: Well I had my grades already so it was unconditional
Any other tempting offers? Yes but I liked Durham most.

Not sure how much this will help, I know people who are here with lots of different grades. Someone may have told me the standard offer without further maths is going up to AAA??

still waiting!

GCSEs/Equivalent:7A*4A
AS levels:AAAA
A2s:AAAA
AEAs: -
Happy with offer? Oui!
Any other tempting offers? Nay.

Happy with offer? A(Maths)AB, yeah fairly, I was a bit worried about making it though.

The Admissions and Examinations Secretary told me that they have already rejected 60% of maths applicants and many of them got all A's.
So I think the waiting to the end of this month is a sign of good news. :smile:

i have no idea how many applicants they have in terms of numbers. At all the universities i have visited this year they seem to have had an increase in applicants, for some reason maths has suddenly become much more popular.
