Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

Well in any respects they're both good universities, Bath is just ranked slightly higher but in terms of employers they don't really care whether it was 7th or 12th as long as its not say 99th out of 102. I don't understand why living/working in Paris/France is "unfortunate". I'd love to be in your position.

Anyone got news/acknowledgements from LSE or do they not give those out?

Akash, you said that Bath gives offers in the order they receive the applications. Where did you get this information from ?

Thnx

I've applied to Cardiff, Leeds & Oxford [History & Econ]
and Warwick [Econ, Politics & international Studies]

All acknowledged bar Leeds, no decisions made yet :/

Wow how did manage to make a Personal Statement that accomodates for all

Haha I didn't, it's half history & half economics. I hoped that Warwick would just think the history part is international study related I applied to Bristol as well to do straight history, but I think they'll reject me because my PS won't show commitment to the course unfortunately. I'm dying for a decision, over 2 weeks and no acceptance/rejection :|

Where are you applying Illmatic?

Ah fair enough Warwick had this really interesting course: Economics and Economic History, and I was really looking forward to applying for that course...until it got scrapped

LSE- Econ/Econ History
Notts- Econ with German
Bristol- Econ with study in Germany
Southampton and Warwick- straight Econ

What about you?

THAT WAS WHAT I WANTED TO DO it was my first choice as well, because seriously can't be bothered with oxford at all now.

I've never killed myself so much as when I was applying on UCAS and couldn't find it anywhere. It was in the joaifjewofjwfj prospectus!

UCL
Warwick
Nottingham
Exeter
York

Straight econ for all of them. I thought you were thinking about Oxford?

EXACTLY! Nice choices! I dont think I ever considered Oxford. I did consider Cambridge but I decided to go with Warwick instead

Thanks. Yeah I meant to put Oxbridge silly me. What are your grades like?

EXACTLY! Why write it in the prospectus if it..doesnt actually exist

Such a low. Hopefully (if got an offer/actually got the grades) there's spare modules? So maybe can chuck in a history one or two

Ah fair enough Warwick had this really interesting course: Economics and Economic History, and I was really looking forward to applying for that course...until it got scrapped

In the Warwick thread, they said they scarpped economics and economic history because so many people were opting into it in the straight econ course. So you can still build economic history into a straight course at Warwick by choosing the modules that include it
