Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

wowza, did you go without sunlight during A levels? :wink:

Erm, I would say that I drowned myself in textbooks for phy chem and econ, m and fm was just past papers. I would memorize the textbooks in the car on the way to school, during lunch, during lessons and in my free time.

Revising for m and fm is so much less stressful that subjects where you have to memorise the book

5 rejections last year from the top 5,
This year I have offers from bath and UCL, was pooled and fished at Camb and then rejected, yet to hear from LSE and Warwick.

Why do you give a ****. You have a UCL offer, if they ask you to go to the open day, go to it.

Did I say I wasn't. This person was just asking me about the offer and the open day, so I was only discussing this topic with them?

Did you get it today ? Has your UCAS track updated ? What was the offer ?

I got an email saying that I was made an offer on the 15th of Feb and that my attendance to the open day is completely optional and in no way affects my offer, so does that mean that UCL sees you as a stronger applicant because they want to "persuade" you on the open day ?

Also, why do you give a ****. You have a UCL offer. You can email them about the open day, but I wouldn't ask for the reason if I were you

I disagree. I read a page and turn over, and then if someone were to ask me what I'd just read I'll be...

Whereas in maths, once you've finished learning it, you can burn your books and use them to keep yourself warm the night before your exam doing past papers :h:

You never know, I think i saw some UCL offers this week of just A*AA, so no FM in the offer though they may have still taken it, but that's if i remember correctly.
(and ofcourse everyone's free to correct me on that if they know different)
