    Hey! I've firmed Exeter to study English starting Oct 1 2012 and have just applied for a self-catered en-suite at Rowe House as my first choice. Let me know if you're in a similar situation

    No I'm not French, but I've lived in France quite a while so I call it home French was my mothertongue too! Which accommodation are you applying for? And what subject have you applied for? (you might have mentioned it before, so apologies if you have my memory is terrible haha)

    Contact the university and ask them. My friend has AAB from Southampton but they told him they'd take him with ABB, maybe even BBB if they're feeling kind. I'm not sure how competitive PPE is but there is a chance you could get in with AAB, but I have no idea of the circumstances.

    Edit: Oh and your brilliant EPQ mark might make them more inclined to want to accept you if you miss a grade.

    If you look here, it tells you the process, and you can make your application.

    Just firmed Exeter for MA History! It's the only uni I applied to, so very glad I got in. Actually applied for MA Maritime History, but they've changed the program and rolled that degree into the overall MA History. Just hoping they offer maritime history courses this year. I have a list of the courses they expect to offer, but am still waiting on the department to firm up the course list and post it online! Here's hoping! Nothing like waiting until the last minute to make your students extra nervous. :eek:

    Just waiting for everything to clear in the next couple days, so I can apply for accomodation. Hoping to get a studio room at Birks. I'll be at the bottom of Cardiac Hill, but I could use some exercise, so that's okay (I say that now, ask me how I feel about it in a couple months).

    Anyone else postgrad History? Would love to have some fellow students to connect with when I arrive!
