I'm after maths at Cambridge.

How do you approach your head of year etc as it is in term time??!

I think they are informed that you have applied, so would already know so you don't need to ask them.

Subject courses include Biological Sciences, Computer Sciences, Education, Engineering, English, Geography, History, Law, Modern & Medieval Languages, Music, Physics, Theology & Religion.

It looks like it, not all the uni's do every course. When you apply you should be able to view a drop down the list of the courses they offer.

I can't decide between applying for social sciences at Bristol or Law/Politics at Nottingham :confused:

I would go for the Law/Politics one at Nottingham, purely because it says on your profile that you go to a grammar school therefore you've got a higher chance of getting into the Nottingham one. Bristol seem a bit more picky about the requirements- they will hold the fact you go to a grammar school against you as grammar schools normally get very good results & have high numbers of students going to top universities.

Ooh really thanks for that info, I didn't know that. I was warming more to the Nottingham one anyway so it's even more likely I'll opt for it now :smile:

Thanks again!

I've also heard rumours Bristol are heading that way in terms of uni entrance as well, looking at the school a person did there GCSE's/A Levels in and taking it into account
I've applied for Law & Politics at Notts, doubt I will get it though, I'm not on EMA and my parents are both in fairly proffesional jobs. How much of the criteria do you meet?

Well the only one I don't meet is attending a school/college with low rates of progression to uni so fingers crossed! I need to get round to applying for it before the deadline but I'm still unsure of course. Everyone else seems so sure of what they want to study at uni - I've been going back and forth for ages between English and social sciences/law :s-smilie:

Good Luck, sounds like you've got a much better chance than me.
