You might be able to!

I think they said you can swap from applied to quantitative and vice versa so maybe it's the same for straight sociology :smile:

I emailed Sheffield yesterday asking if it was possible! So hopefully they'll get back to me soon with good news!

If it is possible to change it, it could very possibly be my firm choice :smile:

I got accepted to Sheffield to study sociology! Not sure if it'll be my firm though.

May I ask why you only applied to Sheffield? Any particular reason?

I love this city, I've stayed there for almost 2 months. Moreover, my boyfriend lives there and I have some friends in Sheffield. So yeah, that's why. :smile:

Hi,

I'm Rob, a second year Civil Engineer.

Sorry for the delay you are having - I can remember the agonising wait from when I was in your position! This however does not mean you should expect a rejection.

We will make decisions as quickly as possible, however it may take some time for decisions to be made, but this will be by the end of March. As you can see on our website, all applications received before the January 15th UCAS
deadline are given equal consideration, so do not worry if you haven't received a decision yet.

In the meantime please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Rob

I look at the course and the modules available at each university and determine which one you find the most appealing. It's probably also important to take into consideration the location for each university, being that some of them are rather rural and others in big cities.

Personally I would go with either Birmingham or Durham, but that's just me!

Good luck making your decision :smile:

Bath gave me an offer on the 2nd of December after receiving it on the 9th of November so took about a 3 weeks to hear back.

I'm still waiting for a reply from Exeter, it's been almost a month now. It's pretty annoying, cause I got all my other offers within 10 days of sending off my application.

Damn it Exeter :frown:

The form hasn't been sent off yet (soon, hopefully!), but I'll be applying to:

University of Cambridge, "Human, Social and Political Sciences"*
University of Warwick, "Politics and Sociology"
University of Manchester, "Politics and Sociology"
University of Edinburgh, "Sociology and Politics"
University of Sheffield, "Politics and Sociology"

At the moment, my favourite is Warwick with Manchester as insurance. If I get offers from those two, I'll be made up. I had an open space and couldn't find another university I'd want to go to so figured I'd put Cambridge down for the hell of it - I'm not expecting much from it, but eh, worth a shot.

*I'll be twenty one upon entry and I'm applying for Lucy, so my application doesn't have to be in until March.

So far, I've received conditional offers on 3/5 of my places:
Sheffield, Liverpool and Huddersfield.

Still awaiting replies from Manchester and Manchester Met.

Currently, my favourite is Sheffield and I hope to use Man Met as my insurance.
