Official Nottingham Applicants Thread 2011

So they've already begun with the decisions for Econ.? That just made me nervous
because I applied for L100 and so have probs been rejected or outright offered a place - really hoping for the latter!

Did you apply to all the same unis as me or something? :P

It's pretty close going by your sig, we're matched on LSE, Nottingham obvs. and King's - though I'm annoyed that didn't work out - at least they were nice enough to pool you :P
Have you applied for pure Economics at each of the unis?

Awesome Yep, pure Economics everywhere you?

Accounting and Finance courses, and Finance, accounting and management at nottingham.
Good luck.

Seems i will be applying next yr
I don't know but i haven't got any replied and with a ABB prediction, i can't see myself getting many.

Got an email today from the admissions tutor saying that she can't offer me a place for L100 Economics but if I would consider doing L140 Economics and Econometrics, she would be able to give me an offer straight away It's the same course but with more compulsory modules in Econometrics, which I would probably have chosen anyway so it's all good

Yeah so did I. I wasn't too pleased about being rejected for L100 economics ( fourth so far), but I guess L140 Economics and Econometrics is pretty similar.

Thanks! Studying natural science...what are you studying?

Haha! Me too, was staring at the screen thinking I was seeing things haha
Ooo.. Loughborough looks sooo nice, was thinking of applying, but for some reason i didn't..
Fingers crossed you get an offer from them !
I'm just waiting on Newcastle to get back to me, same situation as you, if they give me a place it's out of Newcastle and Nottingham, if not Nottingham it is

Haha
Are you planning to going on that Open Day thing for students, if Nottingham does one? I don't know about them doing one yet but my other Universities are.... What other universities are you applying to?

Erm.. I'm thinking about it, since I haven't actually been to any open day for any universities haha
Ohh, they do have some open days, they'll send it to you with the confirmation letter thingy-me-bob
Erm, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield and Bangor
You?

My friend just got an unconditional from Notts for Nursing. And she hasn't even done her A2s yet!

I'm still waiting for an acknowledgement from Notts for Nursing... =(

I applied for Law with Spanish and Spanish Law. Nottingham operate a gathered field, which means that we might not hear until as late as the end of February. Good luck

Where else have you heard from by the way? Is Notts your top choice?

Thanks good luck to you too

I'm not sure what my choices are, but so far I have offers from Warwick, Durham and York (the last two are for straight Law) and I was rejected from Oxford. Would Notts be your firm? And where else have you applied?

Hey what grades did you guys get? Did they specify why they put you on L140 over L100?

Because the entry requirements for Nursing Diploma are 5 GCSEs (Maths etc) and recent evidence of A level study. After 2 years of diploma you transfer to degree programme if you progress satisfactorily. The main requirement is evidence of work experience and knowledge of subject. In 2012 they're moving to degree entry only which will require A levels. Similar unis are requesting BBB/BBC for degree entry.
This is great news for me. I have an interview for Child Nursing next month and I was really expecting any offer to include decent A level grades. Any idea how long your friend waited after interview before being made an offer? Also which branch did they apply for (Child/Mental/Adult)?
Thanks

She got the unconditional for BSc Nursing, not the diploma. And I think it was about a week.

You have an offer from the course Law and Sociology of Warwick?
