Official Durham Applicants Thread 2011

Thanks! Definately, though I started regretting it after I looked at the map and saw JB is the furthest you can get from the law department! :wink:

I've applied at Bristol, Nottingham, York and Bangor. What about you?

I applied late October so logically it would make sense for me to get a reply after you guys!
I chose JB as I'd rather have self catered, I just wouldn't feel right in catered with no communal area so to speak etc. Think I'd enjoy the experience more than being cooped up in my room most the time! :wink:

you're making me worried now as I didn't apply till early December and have still heard nothing! Saying that, I know people who applied late November and had offers before Christmas, confusing!

Got my offer in November :wink:

Biomed at Stephenson College. Happy to go to Durham, not happy it's actually Stockton.

WD on your offer, did you get a conditional or unconditional and what was your offer? Did you defer a year or is this your first year of applying? I noticed so far that most of the biomed offers from Durham have been for those that have deferred. I'm just wondering if any Year 13s applying for the first time this year have had offers?

Thanks in advance and I'll take Stockton anyday . . . . personally, I prefer small

I actually started a degree in accounting at 18, left after half a year as I wanted a career in healthcare. Took new A-levels and now I've been handed a conditional (ABB) for Biomed, I'll be 21 by September :colondollar:

I sent my application in mid October and got my offer and my college (Stevo) on 18th November. Perhaps I was just lucky I'm not sure. But no I did not defer.

I'm hoping the exercise wandering to the law department might balance out the massive amounts of pizza I'll end up eating with it being self catering, but I think this might just be wishful thinking :biggrin:

I applied to Oxford, UCL, KCL andd Exeter as well.

Yeah I think I will, I've visited Durham but not the Stockton campus so it would be a good idea!

Hopefully people will be up for a pre-freshers drink after the open day.

Same, JB guarantees you SC plus and an ensuite (Not bad at all :wink:

) so it really appealled to me. I've visited Durham breifly but trust me, it's way closer to town than it looks on the map - that scared me too - 15 minutes walk tops. :smile:

Afraid I'm one of the late applicants. I put my ucas through around mid-late December and I think it was only acknowledged in January after the holidays.

Did my LNAT on 13 Jan. (Just before deadline)

Applying for law, Hatfield college ;D

Hope I'll get an offer though, argh,

When did you sit your LNAT? I sat mine on the 23rd Dec, that might have something to do with it too?
Sure you'll be OK, no news is good news atm ! :wink:

Yeah, and we get our own room oppose to having to share at least one term which I didn't like the sound of! I see, I see, and I suppose if there's a few people it won't be so bad :wink:

Reallllly hoping for an offer!

Hiya

I'm a Chem Nat Sci and I got my offer just about two weeks back, got rejected from castle but Trevelyan gave me an offer last week - rather disappointed it's not a Bailey college but at least it's Durham.

Don't worry :smile:

there's still more than a month to go and the departments still making offers. My friend whose amazingly brilliant hasn't heard back yet for maths. Youre still just as likely to get an offer though maybe not your first choice college :/. What college are you applying for? Good luck! Hopefully I might see you there in October!

I am no longer a Chem NatSci, they emailed and said because Chemistry is so popular they can't offer me a space in that but can still consider me for NatSci without chemistry, so I'm still waiting to hear if I get an offer for biology and maths instead. I was never completely sure if I wanted to do chem or not anyway. I applied to St. Chads but I'm not tooo bothered about college, I didn't really know anything much about the colleges so asked a friends who's sister was at Durham about colleges and her sister suggested that one and it sounded fine so I picked it :P

What offer did you get? What are you doing as well as Chemistry?? Got offers from any other unis yet? Is Durham your first choice??
Hopefully get an offer, and then probably firm Durham unless I decide I really want to do chemistry, in which case I'll accept Nottingham (natsci - chem, bio and maths)

Same (except on 12th :tongue:

) - I'm assuming you are also Oxbridge? :smile:

What are you applying for?
And while it's worrying I take some hope in the fact that no news means no rejection, and they actually have until 31st March to make a decision :rolleyes:

But playing the waiting game is getting pretty tedious...

Ah yea, that's a shame. though to be fair, law is craazy competitive whereas most of the people for my course were interviewed. My course (human sciences) was very small and was only at 8 colleges. i went to Wadham but I really wasn't a fan when I was there and I didnt really get on with the tutors so that's alright.
My godsister went to new college, it seemed really cool.

haha thats funny about sussex :smile:

I'd originally been planning to apply there for human sciences as one of the few universities to do it but they cancelled the course this year so i just decided to apply for anthropology there as i liked the course too.

Thanks, you win some you lose some, and honestly I don't know whether I like their whole 8 week system and emphasis in exams- way to stressful for me (which is why I love Durhma because its kinda a less intensive version of Oxbridge- or I think so :biggrin:

)

Anthropoolgy sounds like a really interesting course, I did look into anthropology and archaelology before I applied, and it looked really cool :smile:

What ssubjects are you doing at IB then?
