Hey! I got an offer last week for biology! I was wondering how the college system works? Like are you randomly assigned a college or can you show a preference for one? If so, how likely is it you will get that choice, and are you likely to get what accom you pick from that college (the different price bands)? And im assuming college accommodation is only for first years?Thank you! x

This is probably a silly question, but what kind of disabilities are generally worth filling out the mitigating circumstances form for? I have a chronic pain condition resulting in some absences due to hospital appointments and general pain (attendance is around 80% or a bit lower depending on flare-ups), but I'm not sure if this is something "serious enough" to be considered when looking at my application. Also whether I should include mental-health conditions (again, not sure if these are something taken into consideration). Thanks

im taking biology, chemistry, maths and further maths and i got my offer to study biochemistry yesterday!!

Congrats! How long did it take for them to get back to you x

Hi, I've just received an offer from you (ahh!!!) to study Theoretical Physics. Which accommodation would you recommend - I want to be close to the library and my buildings, and I would ideally like an en suite. Would you be able to give me a price range also? Thanks!

How much do YorK look at Personal Statements when making offers or is it all about A Level predictions? How important are GCSEs? And so they tend to make offers quickly after people apply or take u til March/April like some places?

Thanks

Hi,
I applied early entry on the 13th of Oct. and received my offer to study History and Politics the same day. However last year, i know a friend had to wait until January for her offer and another that didn't get her rejection until February. I think it just depends on wether they are dealing with a lot of applications at the time you apply.
Sorry couldn't give a definite answer ?

My son received a contextual offer and he's delighted. He hadn't had a chance to apply for the the York Access Scheme - does he still need to?

Hi there,

Firstly, congratulations to your son on his offer! 🎉

If he's already received a contextual offer then he doesn't need to apply for the York Access scheme in order to receive a reduced offer (as only one reduction is available).

He may wish to contact the [email protected] team though to see whether additional support is available if he requires it.

I hope that helps,
Helen
