Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

UCL for me, with Warwick following very closely! How about you?

Agreed with this; Warwick is just a glorified car park. :teehee:

I joke, but in terms of where UCL is located and the course content it comes out on top.

Warwick just shades it in my opinion, I like the look of their course more.

Thanks.

It's with J.P. Morgan. I came all the way back from Beijing to attend it and as such I'm still quite jet-lagged but so be it.

Come on Alex, you gotta do this! You can get us all hooked up in the future! :tongue:

Warwick is the furthest one away from where I am, not that that influences me in anyway :K:

Out of all the universities I visited (which admittedly was only 4 :colondollar:

), Bath was my favourite :biggrin:

Really? Which unis did you go to see?
I started really late, I only went to LSE and Cambridge. Dumb really.
See, a lot of people love Bath, I can't remember why I applied there...

I have never been, and only went on their site once before I sent off my app. Very random. I have heard good things though.

Where does it rank with in all the 'crude' indexes, like graduate prospects in IB (not that I am considering that) average salary, etc.? Anyone know?

I visited LSE, UCL, Bath and Southampton. I can't really explain why I liked Bath, it's just the general feel you get when you visit :biggrin:

The student satisfaction at Bath in general is fairly high. I think it won "University of the Year" last year? I'm not sure about graduate prospects in IB... I would place Bath just above Bristol if that helps :redface:

Bath is very respected by employers particularly because of the year in industry they offer which has very good connections, some banks even have places set aside just for people going through the Bath economics sandwich course!

Congrats, same as me. Now I'm struggling to choose York or Exeter!

From York, i got an AAB or BBB offer- this makes no sense whatsoever, but because of pre-u they wanted to offer me AB (A in pre-u) or AA (B in pre-u) but i reckon they put BB instead of AA hahahaaa gonna call up this weekend BBB would be AMAZING!!

Would they ever offer AAB or BBB!??

Would you say it had better grad prospects than Nottingham? Or are they equal, or is Nottingham better?
