Nottingham Applicants for 2012 entry

Scroll to see replies

Fell in love with Nottingham on the open day, the campus was really beautiful. If a little on the hilly side.

Definitely applying for Chemistry, now all I need to do is write my PS. :rolleyes:

It is beautiful and is hilly. So you will get very fit running to lectures. I have a son at Nottingham. He just loves it there. I would recommend it.

Me too

What are your GCSE/AS/Predicted grades like?

I do the IB, not A levels, and got predicted 41 points. How about you? :smile:

Agree!

But then again it was the same for me at So'ton and it probably will be the same for me at Bristol and, to a certain extent, any other Russel Group uni. It is slightly worrying but if this wasnt the case then there wouldnt be schemes such as 'Widening participation'.

Unfortunately, that's likely to be the case at any top uni, bar the London ones. :s-smilie:

Hmm, yeah, I would expect it from Bristol and certain other unis, but for some reason didn't think Nottingham would be like this. Birmingham seemed pretty diverse.

I am still in love with Nottingham though! :smile:

German and History! I live in the area, so it's not exactly my first choice, but I do love the city and the uni, so I definitely won't be complaining if I get in!

Wow, nice

erm I got 10 A*s, 1.5 As at GCSE, AS was AAAA and I'm predicted A*A*A*A* this year (maths, further maths, geo, chem). Bit worried about not having done economics A-level!

I can't say it would be impossible. But you have to remember that the L100 course looks for AAA as a requirement, and bear in mind that many applicants get themselves predicted A*AA or more. I could recommend applying to "Economics and (another subject)" if the entry requirments for that joint degree was AAB or less.

Ultimately the decision is with the applicant and they have to take all advices on board with a pinch of salt and be confident to make up their own mind.

The economic offer is now A*AA-AAA according to the website.

Those are really great results! :smile:

Don't worry, A level Economics isn't required, and your Maths and Further Maths would look impressive with A*. I don't do Maths up to the level equivalent to A2, so I'm actually in a much worse position than you. :s-smilie:

Hey, good to know. Nottingham is often ranked the first for pharmacy, so you definitely made a good choice haha. How's your predicted grade like if you don't mind me asking?

oh I see. I heard Manchaster and King's College are good for Pharmacy too! I considered taking Pharmacy before actually, but figured I'm not that interested in it. Wow well done for your IB! Those are really great results, I do HL Bio and Chem too, but Maths at SL. I'm predicted 2 points for my EE/TOK grades too, but TOK is such a bore. Why did you take a gap year? Did you do better in the exam than what you're predicted, and chose to reapply?

Yupp, I'm applying to those too but my first choice is London School of Pharmacy. I really want to study in London. ^^
I actually had a place at UCL to read Medicinal Chemistry. But I was offered a scholarship to read Pharmacy two months after I confirmed my place. So I withdrew from UCL and took a gap year (: I got my predicted grades actually. Haha! Exactly. But my teachers predicted BB for TOK and EE but I got CA.

Applying for Law! Predicted AAA with pretty average GCSE's but I feel I have an excellent personal statement.
I think LNAT will be the swing, absolutely dreading the exam!
