Did any other Bristol applicants who haven't got an offer yet receive an email from Bristol saying they're still considering the application?

Im taking maths, further maths, history and economics. Are theses okay?

They sound like a really strong combination. I assume you're thinking about applying next year? Good luck!

Ambitious is Warwick. Got offers from Nottingham and Sussex. Felt surprised, cause cut of for Nottingham was (36-38) and for Exeter it was lower (34-36).

What were your results? :smile:

Nottingham is a great uni so you have no reason to despair, I'm still waiting to hear from them, you've done well to already have an offer.

Thanks, no my predicted grades are not that great (my school has insanely lowered my predicted for unknown reasons), might be due to PS. I got offer from Nottingham 3 weeks ago, you might get decision soon. What all univs you have applied and what you intend to make firm and insurance? :smile:

Oxford, Warwick, Nottingham and Lancaster as insurance, Warwick would be the dream but I'm more than happy with Exeter

Hi I was just wondering if anyone reckons I'll get an offer from nottingham being only predicted AAA

Its my joint first choice with exeter and id love to go there!

as-aabb (maths,econ,chem and physics, dropped physics)
GCSE's - 4a*s 4as and 1 b
Decent personal statement (i think) and also doing epq
In the prospectus it said their typical offer is A*AA-AAA but everyone on here seems to be applying with A*AA or better :frown:

There lower grade offer is for students with circumstances. I emailed them about the lower economics offer a while back and there response was:

Dear NedStark

Thank you for your email. Our standard offer is A*AA/A*ABB. The lower offer is generally made to those who fall under the Widening Participation umbrella, including those who attend schools which rarely send students to university, or those have backgrounds or circumstances which would make it more of a challenge for them to attain the highest grades. Also those who have extenuating circumstances like serious illness, caring for a family member, etc.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards

Jo
