Thanks, I would prefer medical genetics, but it's still in consideration...microbiology is my 'very back up'... but im happy anyway, its really good uni to study biosciences... is medical biochemistry your first choice?


My first choice is Natural Sciences at Cambridge... but Medical Biochem at Leicester is my second choice, and as Cambridge is so competitive... I'll probably be coming to Leicester :wink:

I know Leicester is ranked highly in Biosciences in league tables, do you know if there are any other sources/reasons why Leicester is good in Biosciences? My Mum's not convinced that Leicester is a very good Uni for my subject!

I have an offer for Law with French Law and Language. Anybody else applied for the same/similar course? :smile:


Yes, I have an offer for Law with French Law and Language too!

Did you receive a letter from the university or did it come up on ucas track? I received a letter but they haven't specified the grades required so I'm hoping it will turn up on track soon!

ahh cool, well I'll just keep on checking! I might email/call them soon if it doesn't show up lol.

Have you applied to all Law with French courses or some straight law? I've applied to Exeter for the Maitrise; Cardiff, Birmingham and Leicester for Law with French and Cambridge for straight law :s-smilie: lool

Thank you! Leicester is one of my top priorities, so hopefully I will receive the grades to start next October! :smile:
Received my offer pack from Leicester today. Exciting - although they kind of imply that it is set that I am going there - when you move in/arrive.... we look forward to seeing you next october....!!
Bit ahead of themselves! But hey - it's nice to feel wanted!

Ditto, although the first thing on the letter after the offer stuff is how much money they'll be throwing at me... they know how to grab a student's attention :p:
Has anyone had any offers for the Politics with Economics course? x
got a BBB offer for Ancient history and Archaeology earlier today :smile:

its good to hear that:smile: thanks
I'm probably stressing way too early at the moment, but I'm applying for medical genetics, recieved an acknowledgment but no offer yet, but my friend, who applied for biochem got an offer a couple of days after he applied. He applied a day after me, had one grade lower than me for his predicted grades, has slightly lower GCSEs and apparantly quite an average ps compared to mine (according to other people) and is right next to me in the alphabet.

He thinks I should be concerned that I haven't got an offer yet (Offers for biochem and med genetics are the same grades), because its been way over a week since he got his.

Should I be freaking out? I'm debeating emailing the addmissions dept but I don't know what I'd say...

I dont get them...I got an offer from medical microbiology and rejection from medical genetics...as you said, the requirements are the same, and i got an offer for one of them, so i don't know why i was rejected from the other one. Thats where my question about transfers came from. I would really want to study genetics, microbiology was ma back-up. Do you think its all because of the competition or they just don't want give me 2 offers from the ssame department.

don't stress out, your'e not rejected yet, so you still have a chance to get in, what are your predictions?
