Well done :biggrin: you firming Bristol?


Planning to, so as long as I like it when I go to the open day on Wednesday. Also got to visit Edinburgh first as well, don't want to make any rash decisions (might not like the cold or something :biggrin: ).

Are you taking a gap year?

AAB offer from Edinburgh! Hugely surprised as I thought it was going to be AAA, so a great insurance :smile: That completes all the decisions for me now, unless UCL somehow give me an offer for L100 AND L101?

Looks like a great city. Now I've got an offer, I've got a great excuse to make my family go up there for a short break :biggrin:

Also, has there been any UCL L101 rejections yet?

Oh :s-smilie: how much notice do they normally give? (with an invite) I'm just wondering when the cut off date for hearing is likely to be.

My guess is during this week will be the cut off - they can't leave it with much less than 3 weeks notice for visit days (maybe 2), but just a guess.

I know some people who got an invite exactly a week ago for tomorrow so I'm not getting too worried just yet...

That's so depressing....
OMG I am getting a bit scared now by looking at this thread, you guys are crazy, got like 97-100UMS in average...
Before I thought I might stand a chance, now I feel depressed...

I also wanna apply to Cambridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick and Nottingham. Not sure if I am good enough now...

I didn't get anything like that in UMS, just a couple A*s last year and that got me an offer form LSE
Think more about your personal statement and tutor references, and interviews for oxbridge.
After all if you don't apply to some of the top ones, aren't you going to run out of ones that you would actually want to go to in the end? If you apply to more of them your chances also improve :biggrin: that was my thinking

Really? I was wondering do you need over 90UMS for AS modules the relevant A-levels in order to go to any of the top unis? Just a couple of A*s lol scared me even more. How many A* have you got?:frown:
