To be given offers by those 3 and rejected by Bath is truly unusual. Do you by any chance not do Economics at A-Level or have a B at AS? Well done on your offers, anyway.

Wow nice!

Do you mind telling me what your GCSE's and A-level grades are like so I can see if i have a chance next year? (I want to apply to basically the same places as you have! :P)

Just out of interest, will you firm LSE or Oxford?

Just for people who applied to Bath and got rejected, they seem to have stuck by what they said on their open day that they reject people without straight A's at AS and Predictions. They replied back to me with regards to my rejection (first rejection cycle after the deadline which they said is when they would reply to me) saying the reason the admissions tutor wrote down that he rejected me was because of a B in AS, and that most offer holders will have received straight A's. It seems Bath focused on the AS grades quite heavily in their early decision making process.

10A*'s at GCSE, which was all of my GCSE's.
AS level results were AAAAA in Maths, Further Maths, History, Economics and Biology.

A2 Predictions are A*A*A*A in Maths, Further Maths, Economics and History.
Already have an A* in general studies.

Which one will I firm is the biggest question. At the moment I am thinking Oxford because it is so amazing . But I'm constantly changing my mind between the two.

:O wow, you deserve it! :P Do you go to a private school? Were your UMS high (particularly in Maths?). I'd probably pick Oxford, ooh I don't know :L LSE is so good as well, actually I'd pick LSE. Pure economics interests me personally much more and a degree from there would just be mind blowing.

Anyone heard back from UCL yet, waiting on both L100 and L101

What are you currently studying and what are your predicted grades?
What are current choices to apply to?

Yh I know, tell me about it!

This wait is killing me.

Out of interest, what is your academic profile like? Just want to judge my competition :P hahaha

Subjects are in my sig, predicted A's in all of them at AS. Hoping to take up further maths AS next year grades permitting and will probably job Biology, leaving me with a pretty strong set of A2's. I'm applying next year and will apply to the same places as you did except maybe not LSE (I only got 5 A*'s at GCSE). But I go to a pretty average state school so hoping they can overlook my "poor" GCSE's. My dream uni would probably be Oxford/LSE but I'd be really happy with Bath or Nottingham too

I think you should give LSE a shot as you do have the average GCSE grades.
But I think you should put some lower unis in their such as York Birmingham which are still good because I have good grades and I got rejected from Bath.

Also one of my friends who applied to do Mathematics at Oxford got rejected because his GCSE grades were insuffiecent, he had 6A*.
