Don't feel bad, they'll offer more places than are spaces :yes:


True say bruddah. And, if I don't get my 3 As, Nottingham will be my maison as of September anyway. I just feel like I got the place for the sake of it haha! It was originally my first choice (after I got rejected from Oxford) but different things have changed my mind, and now I'm staying in Birmingham. Which a lot of people won't understand lol!!!

What to do if rejected from all five choices????


UCAS Extra will let you apply to one uni at a time if you have no offers.
Woke up this morning with an AAB offer from Nottingham D: . Been really surprised this week as I got an 18 in my LNAT and the essay I wrote was horrendous to say the least but still got Bristol and now Nottingham. Guessing they weigh it all up against the other factors in your application.

Well done!:biggrin:

I got rejected from Nottingham, with a 17 on my LNAT. :frown:
Odd though, because I made a mistake on UCAS, and applied for the conversion course, yet this hasnt been mirrored on my rejection, despite emailing nottingham a few times. :confused:

Did anyone else go to the Nottingham open day today?? :smile:
Seems a bit weird they had an open day before they'd finished giving out all their offers :s-smilie:

How was it? I am going on the 2nd March but if you had the time to spare to outline what you thought that would be great!

I've been on a private viewing just to look around but haven't met the staff or faculty facilities.


I went and it changed my opinion! :colondollar:
Everyone was really friendly and the self catering accommodation was great.
You can apply to change to the 4 year course option with your 3rd year spent abroad (I love the idea of Sidney!)
Talked about careers etc
Think I may well firm them :biggrin:

Just firmed Bham with Notts as insurance. I feel dead lucky! I had to withdraw from Durham to do that but at least someone else will hopefully get my place now!

I think I'll have to do this. I have no offers other than kent (and I don't want to go there so will have to pull out), still waiting on Warwick and I doubt I'll get it - school careers told me to ring up Warwick soon and ask if I have it or not. Pretty sure Extra will be the way I do it now...ouch. I'm A*AA predicted if anyone's interested.

Is it a smart move to insurance Notts without having visited it? I've only been going by the pictures in the prospectus and stuff that I've heard from friends/TSR.


Yes I think so :smile: I think it would appeal to most people really, as I don't think it has many down sides! I can't imagine it's somewhere you'd like less after visting it, the campus is amazing afterall! Although I am biased because I absolutely loved it :tongue: Where are you firming?

I only saw the catered accommodation! Really nice but think I'm going to go self catered, I'm assuming it's just as good :smile:
The 4 year option was one of the things that attracted me to Notts in the first place, Australia sounds awesome but one of the more popular destinations I'm guessing! :s-smilie:

I'm definitely firming Nottingham :biggrin:
Where else are you chosing between?

I'd suggest gap yah if it comes to it, rather than going somewhere through extra below your capabilities.

Yeah I know, just ugh, I really don't want to take a year out :/
I'm hoping ucas extra will work or something...I'm willing to beg
Anybody still waiting on Notts Law with Spanish & Spanish Law? I know it's my LNAT that's dragging me down, but I'm really hankering after an AAB offer :tongue:
So overwhelmed that I got an unconditional for Nottingham Law! I hope to see some of you guys there. How's the school like? Been hearing conflicting reports.. ): doubt kills.

Only doing 3 A levels plus Welsh Bacc (which is meant to be worth 120 points). Predicted three A's. Haven't heard yet :frown: just want to know so I can decide for sure my firm and insurance. Where do you want to go?


Ahh! Most people do tend to get in with only 3 A levels! I'm sure you'll get in :smile:

I'm waiting for LSE, if not, Bristol will be my firm, I'm incredibly psyched to go, it looks like an insane place/school

Birmingham has the biggest Law sector outside of London and it's Law school is terrific.

Hell, I understand.

I'd personally want to go to Nottingham, but that really is just a matter of preference. Good luck!

hmm, for me Birmingham doesn't really get enough credit for its Law School's reputation. What made you choose Bham over Notts?
AAA offer from Bristol :smile:
