Ahhh that's crazy! What's your offer, if you don't mind me asking? :smile:


AAB which isn't too bad.. I was more worried about actually being considered as opposed to getting the grades aha. What are you applying for?

Haha same here! I've applied for Anthropology (which is pretty much the same as sociology)

I sent off my UCAS on 3rd October.
I'm applying for law with
AS: AAAD (the D was in chemistry and I hated it) .
Predicted grades: A*A*A*

I completed my LNAT about 2 weeks ago so my score should be getting sent off today. However I remember reading that Durham wait for ALL the applications to come in before they start handing out offers, so I suppose we'll all be finding out sometime next year if we got in or not.

I applied to Josephine Butler college, purely because it was one of the only colleges that was fully self catered.



Same course and college. Good luck!

Haha yes just more cultural based! Was thinking about applying for joint honours in tthat but I haven't studied it at A level so I didn't think it was a good idea!

When did you send off your UCAS? Where else have you applied?

I sent mine off last Friday! I've applied to Exeter and Southampton to do joint honours in anthropology and sociology, and then Sussex, Manchester, and Durham (obviously) for straight Anth.
What about you?

Subject: PPE
Grades: I got 2 As in the subjects I did AS exams in and am predicted 4A*s
College: I applied to St. Chad's because when I looked it up online that seemed the nicest:h: - I never visited...

If they threw you away with 4A*s then I've got no chance!
