Offer for History!! Get in!


Well done! I'm still waiting. Do you mind if I ask your conditions? Did they pull out the dreaded A*?
Ooops, just checked my UCAS. Offer for History! AAA. Good luck to everyone!
For those that applied to courses requiring questionnaires, anyone yet to receive one?

A few people got offers today, might just be late on UCAS part though, probably closed now.

Btw, did you receive your offer through the post or via email/UCAS track update?


It was a UCAS track update

I do IB; it was 38 with 666 at HL (higher level). Basically AAA (A* = 7 at HL, A = 6, B = 5, etc).

Same, I'm sp worried now because I have 3 LNAT unis, and looking at the situation... Ugh. Anyway I emailed the email they sent as an acknowledgement. Haven't had a reply but it has to be lnat. Damn it.


I'm in almost exactly the same situation,
I've heard nothign from UCL Durham or Bristol,
and don't think I did too well on my LNAT :frown:
ah well

I haven't heard anything either and my interview was on November 17th. I know that a girl at my school is being interviewed some time in January, so they may be waiting until they're done with all applicants at the interview stage. Fingers crossed though:smile:

Blimey, that's 5 weeks today! In my interview they said they would get back to me within 3-5 weeks. I'm getting so anxious now. What grades have you got, and how did you think the interview went? I highly doubt I've got a place...


I'm really worried, I haven't been invited for interview BUT I haven't been rejected yet either?!
Why would they do this... I would like some kind of clarity in my life... But no, just a blank :/.
Good luck guys anyway! What were the interviewers like?

Congrats! Is UCL your first choice?

hey, have an offer for ESPS (Russian/French), though I don't yet know whether it's unconditional or conditional.

Either way, UCL is my top, and a friend of mine recently got an offer for Kings, and we were thinking of sharing a room in hall. Of course, this would have to be at an intercollegiate hall-- any recommendations? which one does double rooms? living in london is so expensive so it's best to do it this way rather than renting single rooms separately, the way i figure it at least.

Try not to worry, I know a girl in the same position of you at my school, I'm almost certain they deal with applications in batches because she's a really strong candidate and they've already dished out loads of rejections.
My interviewers were really nice. I was quite surprised at how conversational the interview was so I went in all guns blazing when I probably shouldn't have. Watch out though, one of mine was a bit of a mumbler!
Best of luck xx

Me too! I'm thinking maybe they've lost my application. I think I'll contact them in the new year if they don't get in touch soon.
I thought the interview went alright. Had a bit of a hairy moment when they asked me about a specific scene in "Three Men in a Boat" though :s-smilie: I'mm sure that it went better than you thought, I know they don't let many people get to the interview stage, so you're at an advantage anyway:smile: I've got 8A*s 2As at GCSE and 4As and a B at AS. How about you?

SAME HERE, oh my god! I saw the UCAS notification and nearly had a heart attack - I thought they'd only be communicating rejections through UCAS first! I'm over the moon... :redface:


I got my letter before ucas told me... very scary indeed! Would ucl be your second choice behind cambridge? how did your interview down there go?

Oh, there's a letter? I think I'd've preferred that! Yes, tentatively I think it would - I'm not sure where Durham fits into the equation yet but I love the UCL course, so...! What about you? :smile:

I honestly can't assess how my interview really went! I was happy afterwards, and I'm not sure I could've done much better. I also really enjoyed it, which I was hoping. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed!
