Well it depends if I get an offer from Kings, I'd choose Kings over Durham as I'm from the very south of England so its obviously closer to home. If I don't get one from Kings it will definitely be my firm. Heythrop as insurance.
How about you?

It was going to be my firm, but I got a very unexpected offer from Cambridge today, so now it will probably be my insurance. Best of luck of Kings :smile:

Well, I was rejected from Cambridge on the 5th of January. :frown: Now I think I'll firm either Durham or UCL if I get an offer from there.

Haha, none at all, both are very good for philosophy. I guess it just depends on whether you want to live in London or in a small town. I think it'd be a good idea to visit Durham and UCL; see the atmosphere; have a look at what lectures and seminars will be like there, then make a decision. I'm just stating the obvious though. :tongue:

i didn't apply to butler because i'm too lazy to really want to cook for myself so i applied to st cuths, but they're in the same pool so who knows :smile:

Are you applying for straight Philosophy at Manchester or a combined one? because i applied for straight Philosophy and got an offer of ABB without interview.

Okay so AAB offer from KCL.. Gratz

Four A's in Lower sixth, all traditional academic subjects including a language. 100% in both Philosophy and English literature...
Please fill me in on how you got such an awesome offer from them... and where I may have gone wrong... I didn't do Duke of Edinburgh, is that my problem LOL!

I applied to St Andrews, KCL, Durham, Exeter and Heythrop.
I have offers from the last two and fully intend to firm Heythrop no matter what, just applied to the others to see if I could get in LOL!
