Economics Applicants 2011 Offer Thread

Why did you choose durham over nottingham? I'm torn between the 2 at the moment.


Visited both and much preferred the whole set up at Durham. The course at Nottingham is great but I felt they were negligible in terms of content, so came to a decision about where I'd want to live; and personally would much rather spend 3 years in Durham!

Dang I think my Rejection may be comign in soon because i pretty much follow the same criteria u and got a B in AS which was 6 ums off A, i also lack A* in GCSE so dang :confused:
Btw when did u send off UCAS?


8th January.

also don't feel too negative about it.. i mean my B was in Economics (of all subjects), one of my AS subjects was Business Studies, i may not have had a strong enough personal statement as they never specified exactly why they rejected me, etc etc. so basically, there's other factors to consider.

Hmm, I sent my application off novermber 10th, very wierd to why I have not heard back from them. Plus reason for negativity is cuz i've already been rejected from UCL and notts so ...

I've been to both on open days and I really didn't like Cass whereas I fell in love with Sussex.


Yup same thing with me, i went to cass open day last year and disliked it! and went to see sussex and it was great!

I prefer to go sussex, the only thing is my parents keep on telling me that cass is better for the subject and all that :frown: lol

Sussex imo.

Mainly because i wouldn't ever want to go to a Uni in London because i live near it.


Yup same here, although i love london, ive heard that brighton is great! and i would like to experience something different.

Only thing is do you think sussex is pretty good for eco?

Good news: No rejection from LSE yet.
Bad news: Rejection from Warwick.

Does that mean I'll get rejected from LSE as LSE's a better uni than Warwick hmmmmmmm?

Cambridge: Unsuccessful
UCL: Waiting
LSE: Waiting
Nottingham: AAA Offer
Warwick: Unsuccessful

Hi I'm waiting for Warwick too. They've given out a few A*AAA grades to alot of the oxbridge hopefuls so far. Not many rejections that I know of.

Got offers for economics bsc from
Royal Holloway - ABB
Reading uni -ABB
Brunel - 320 points 4yearSW

Just need to pick insurance and firm - any suggestions (btw i wanna go into finance after uni)

Im finking of RHUL as firm and Brunel as Insurance


Personally i would choose Reading as firm, and upto you for insurance but brunel would be easier as insurance since its points based. Reading because it has known business school (Henley) and does have the ICMA a school for financial markets, so might have the network/contacts which RH may or may not have to help you into a financey related job..

I'm just gonna go ahead and wager that any career boost an undergraduate degree from one of those three yields is pretty much negligible against the other two.

just go for the funnest place imo
