What are your predicted grades mate and in what subject ?

I am jealous but well done, I think I have not received an offered yet because I don’t have a maths As.

What are your predicted grades mate and in what subjects?

Thanks!!

I finished school in Germany last year. Abitur: Economics, Physics, Chemistry, English, Mathematics, History, German Literature and Religious Studies.

Have you applied for PPE as well?

Yeah, hong Kong did seem like a good choice because of that, and Im sure its a wonderful place. Not sure how im gonna cope with the food difference and accomodation. Do we get given a place in their halls whilst abroad?

I'd think so, I wouldn't expect someone on an exchange to manage to get private accomodation. I'm not too bothered about a difference in accomodation, food slightly, but then I'm up for trying new things.

Has anyone got an offer from Warwick doing Law and Business (MN11)?

The wait jus kills me!

it is a BA (law) degree and some frds of mine told me that even though it is a qualifying law degree (with appropriate modules chosen), law employers don't prefer graduates obtaining such degree. Is it true? Has anyone got any frds who hv graduated with the warwick BA law and business degree and hv got a gd career in the legal field?

many thanks!!

Sorry to hear that, but by the sound of it you're a retake student? If so, that's is probably why. Their English department doesn't like retake students, so it's possibly the same throughout the uni. There's probably nothing wrong with your application if you're worrying about your other unis :smile:

There are two competing schools of thought on this:

1 - Employers would prefer you to do straight law, as it shows that you are focussed and passionate about law and that you clearly want to pursue a legal career. Doing a combined honours degree does not show the same level of committment to law.

2 - Doing a combined honours degree is desirable as it sets you out from the crowd and gives you a more broad education, which others may lack. You might be able to prove your committment to law through other avenues (vac schemes, law soc stuff, other work experience etc)

Take your pick. Good luck :smile:

I've still not heard from Warwick for straight law and I sent my application on the 15th October :frown:

This is a general question but does anyone know if it's generally harder to get into Bristol than Warwick? Or vice versa?

I thought I had a good chance at Bristol but I've been rejected so I just wanted to know if I should expect the same from Warwick

I want to do PPE btw

Wahay! Same here! Yet to come across many who've applied for straight French, I was starting to think I should've combined it with ... :confused:

Russian or something - would Warwick be your first choice or insurance?

Generally they're qually hard to get into. I think that Bristol, although has a smaller number of applications, it also has a smaller number of places to offer.

Sorry to hear your rejection. :frown:

What did you get rejected for btw?

I received an offer on the 22nd December for French and History, but have yet to be sent any information about post application open days or any general extra info. I'm a bit worried because I haven't visited Warwick yet, does anyone have any information on when the offer holder open day is, or is there not one?? :confused:

Nah it's the only subject I've wanted to do, I did want to combine it with economics/management but there weren't many unis offering that course :frown:

It depends really, I'm waiting on a decision from ULIP and Kings, they're my two first choice, but if they both reject me, warwick will be my first choice.. you?
