Economics offers 2009

Has anyone had offers from UCL, Durham, Bristol, Warwick or Nottingham without economics????

Or maybe other parts of your application are sub-par - like mine probably are. You cannot seriously think that just some good grades mean you are *guaranteed* an offer, and it must be on its way. Unjustifiable arrogance. 4 A's at A level and 10A*s are not rare at the level of universities you are applying to.

Just be a little more humble in future

unfortunately you have misinterpreted my post, which was simply answering paulwhy's question of which subjects i was doing- my post prior to that was just a lighthearted joke, which is pretty visible. i wholly acknowledge that other parts of my application may be lacking, but there numerous possibilities as to why offers haven't been recieved. you're right, i don't "seriously think that just some good grades mean i am guaranteed an offer," and apologise if that is how it has come across.

Good Luck to your St John's Interview....

Just read your earlier post - sorry about that! Big misunderstanding - my mistake, not yours.

Good luck with your applications

I think they may regret that, from what i can see (just based on this thread), a lot of people who are nottingham offer holders have better offers elsewhere and will not use Nottingham as a firm, or insurance (why would you at AAA)...i'm sure they have taken this into consideration but it seems a bit of a short sighted decision...

Can you add me to the lists- applied for:

Oxford (Brasenose) - E&M - No response
Durham (Hild & Bede) - Forwarded to college according to AES
UCL - Offer subject to attendance open day this Wednesday
LSE - Rejected
Warwick - No response

I'll be on that Open Day too. Apparently there'll be 80 people there, sounds like quite a few for an Economics-only Open Day.

I'm also waiting for Oxford to reply it's not fun.

When did you hear from UCL. I'm waiting on all my offers!!! Oxford, UCL, Durham, LSE & Warwick.

Can I ask what grades u have if you don't mind. Also, do you think it matters if I didn't get time to visit the official UCL open day???

Thanks

Got offers from;
York (AAB)
Leeds (AAB)
Manchester (ABB)
Glasgow (ABB)
Newcastle (Pending)

All are for L100 Economics.

Congratulations to everybody with offers!

1. Heard from UCL on 5th November, the day of the TSA

2. I submitted my form in late September

3.
(i) Straight A*s at GCSE
(ii) AAAA at AS
(iii) Predicted AAAA at A2

4. I heard from Warwick (you didn't ask, but just to give you some idea) on 26th November (a Wednesday again, as with UCL)

5. Do you mean you didn't visit a UCL Open Day when they were on in the summer? I wouldn't worry, most people I know who have offers didn't go to an Open Day, but will obviously be attending future ones on which their offers depend.

Yeh. Your basically the same applicant as me lol. I have straight A*s and 4 As at AS with 4As prediction. Did you apply for pure economics l100 at both warwick and UCL?

Yeh I meant the open day in the summer. The only thing I can think is that my Personal statement may not be good cos my reference was really good i thought.

Neway. I'll just have to keep waiting. U heard anything from Oxford. I havn't and its really bugging me!!!
