Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

hi. Can anyone recommend good AAB uni's or even AAA that is not as competitive
Thanks

Woooooo first offer from Birmingham. PHEW

Congrats!

I'm hoping to apply to Birmingham soon but I'm so nervous as they too reject perfectly strong applicants. May I ask what were your grades like?

Thank you! I'm so relieved, it feels like ages since I applied.

Well I got 3 A*s 5As 2Bs at gcse so they're not too strong but alright I suppose, but at AS I got AAAAB and my predictions are A*AA and I'm doing an EPQ but I don't know what Birmingham base their offers on tbh. My offer is AAA which is higher than quite a few for econ, 2 of my other unis I've applied to are AAB.

How are your grades? And where else are you thinking of applying to?

Birmingham offer!!
though I do have a question about it. Basically it says it's 'conditional' even though I've already sat my A-levels. any advice?

oh and for those people who want to know my stats, I had pretty average GCSEs (6A*s 3As 2Bs 1C) and A*A*AA for alevel.

well what are the conditions when you click on the course in track?

CONGRATULATIONS BTW!

Might be conditional on something really menial like showing your certificates Click on the course code.

Hahaa yeah I think it's that. I've heard of people that had to pretty much bend over backwards with all their proof stuff

I'm thinking of switching Bristol with a safety Econ uni or Manchester with a lower uni because of AS grades. I'm worried I'm stretching myself too far. Congrats to you once again

nice work.

I too would like to go to Birmingham, with an A*A*A prediction. However my bad GCSE's (A* 4A 4B 4C) are making me feel like I am unlikely to get in. I know they look at GCSE's, so how slim of a chance, if any, have I got

Thanks

Well I got an offer today and my gcses are 3A*s 5As 2Bs so they can't be that strict with them! Thank God hahh

Hi

good GCSE's. Can I just ask what A levels? you probably had a great PS,employment,reference....

Any advice for a birmingham hopeful?

Yeah don't worry about it, you have an offer and if you have the grades for the typical offer you are in Let them worry about all the proof stuff, Well done!

You and groat are applying for Clare right (sorry if I'm wrong)? Thought you might want to know at a debating comp today I met a boy with an interview offer from clare- yours could well be on it's way
