I've heard the social life at Imperial is a bit meh, but dude, it's COWI. Don't miss your chance :smile:

Chew dat! Surely the social life can't vary THAT much??? I thought all London Unis share accommodation. You could end up next door to some really social kids from Brunel. :wink:

Yep as long as you're confident you can get A*AA, which you definitely should be :tongue:

Another problem would be anyone who gets Cambridge and Warwick... is it safe to have both depending on STEP, even if one is any 2 and the other is 1,1? :s-smilie:

Why Birmingham over Nottingham/Sheffield if you don't mind me asking? :smile:

Good question! You're not the first one to ask... simply because I've found that Birmingham, as a city as well as university, offers a wider range of opportunities in terms of experience whilst at univ. I'm proposing to undertake a postgraduate in Actuarial Science after my undergrad in maths, and the "Big 4" have good foundations in Birmingham and I can see this as a great opportunity. Nonetheless Nottingham and Sheffield too are really good for Maths :smile:

but I just got so drawn in by the academic vibe felt at Birmingham!!

When did you actually send your UCAS form off then?
Mine got sent from my reference to UCAS on the 29th November and I've only heard back from one so far.

I've applied for Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea and Glamorgan.

Mine got sent on the 9th November :smile:

...received my first offer on 18th November and my Last one on 7th December! :smile:

I guess it varies from uni to uni on how long they take to reply, but nice choices! Good luck, i'm sure you'll get what you want!

This is probably not going to be a very useful response but: it depends on you.
Every year lots of people do firm Cambridge and insurance Warwick so it is doable. Personally, I wouldn't but who knows how I'd feel if I were to somehow get an offer from Cam.

If I got camb I would put that as firm (obv) and Durham as insurance. I just couldnt risk it all on STEP... I'm confident on the A-levels (A*A*A*A) but STEP is not certain for me... I mean I wouldnt be happy doing it...

I would never risk it. STEP can be too unpredictable. A-levels you know where you stand, sometimes there may be a STEP paper that just doesn't suit you and you fail miserably. Or even if you do 2 or 3 you just might bottom out for whatever reason.
