2013 Applicants and gappies!Hi guys!
Thought I would make an early thread for those going into Year 13 and thinking about applying to Lancaster, and those who secured a place to start in 2013 (gappies woo!)
We can all have a chat here and answer each others questions
Anyway, my name is Alex and I have secured a place at Lancaster to study Media and Culture studies starting in 2013 after getting grades of AAC (offer was ABB)
Dont be shy

I went with my school and stayed on campus for a few days with some lectures. Thought the campus was fantastic and got to know my way around a bit in the couple of days I was there too! Personally I don't think you'll be disappointed in the campus... Hope it lives uo to expectation for you

Re: 2013 Applicants and gappies!Will be applying this October for their Computer Science (with or without the Study Abroad program)! Anyone here doing the same course?
I wish you guys the best in your A-Levels. I personally won't do A Levels as I'm already a college student in the Philippines and I've been told that I can apply for direct entry in Lancaster. Hope we'll all get in! -

I highly doubt there'd be discrimination! Lancaster, like pretty much all unis in the UK now, seems to have a pretty big international student population(Original post by rw16)

Re: 2013 Applicants and gappies!Most Unis prioritize their International Students because there's no limit in the number of International Students that they can admit (Unlike British/Home students). We should all expect to hear some racial slurs every once in a while

Re: 2013 Applicants and gappies!Im taking a gap year and reapplying for uni next year, missed my AAB offer
Gunna improve my A level grades hopefully to AAAB (i got BBBC) as an external candidate at my college and it would be great to try and get the A*AA scholorship. Getting a part time job at the same time and gunna make the most out of the year. Sorted.
