Economics Applicants 2011 Offer Thread

Uhh so you're carrying forward Maths, Further Maths and Economics to A2. Hmm some of them in specific, LSE might perceive that as being narrow subject choices.

With regards, to Oxford you would need to prepare well for the TSA because a decent score in that is what assures you of an interview - your grades and personal statement don't help much when you're up against everyone else with similar grades.

Also, applying for E&M to Oxford and then a course like A&F to LSE will be quite difficult to pull off with one personal statement. I suggest that you apply to a similar range of courses that you can address with one personal statement. If you need anymore specific details about Oxford or LSE, feel free to PM me

I was rejected by Nottingham, so i sent them an email asking why, they replied today saying they got an unusual number of candidates with very good grades and it was just a matter of numbers. Therefore those of you with good grades who also got a rejection, don't feel bad about it

Hey, who did you send it to exactly? was it someone called jo morgan?

Haha thats jokes. I applied to ucl, warwick, bath, notts, leicester

UCL and Warwick i havent heard from
Notts - unsuccessful
Bath - offer A*AA
Leicester - ABB

I applied to UCL, Warwick, Bath, Nottingham, Birmingham.. Only one rejection from Nottingham so far. After two and a half months of checking UCAS everyday.. P'take really, ha. Makes you kinda feel we're gonna get rejections from UCL/Warwick, hahah. Ah well, they're sh*t anyway. Congrats on the offers though, at least I have a chance with Bath/Birmingham.

Yeah as long as I get an A in my AS Further Maths, I'll continue with that.. If not, ill continue with Music and drop FM.
So I'm thinking I might just leave LSE/UCL and apply for E+M at Oxford, which I probably have a better chance of getting into, as I'm good at selling myself (and have a personality!
Then my other applications will be at the likes of Birmingham and Nottingham.. I like the look of International Relations with Economics at Birmingham.
But doesn't Nottingham look for 7/8 A* at GCSE?

I sent it to Nottingham uni but i got a reply from Jo Morgan.

Anyone got any reply from them yet :O?

I've just received an offer from Durham. Is durham econ good?

I found the talk really boring. 2h straight without a break. They seemed to focus so much on the league tables,' OMG we were second one year!!'. I quite liked the walk around campus though. Shame it was like 85% male

Surrey is my insurance, AAB (higher than everyone else's offer! But, still grateful to have it). Going to the Bristol open day on March 9, my firm I think

She hasn't replied to me yet
I really can't be bothered with the standard 'lots of applicants' bull if that is the reply, there is a reason why those few applicants got in instead of me and I just want to know it. ie. gcse results, as results, personal statement etc. (especially if it's personal statement issues because if I miss my grades this year, at least I can improve my ps)

Yes, Durham is good for Economics..

Shouldn't you have researched before you applied!

(Congrats on the offer)
