My application was received by UCAS on the 9th October and I applied to UCL, Bristol, Bath, Nottingham and York and only one offer so far from York :frown:
Starting to get worried now.


No real reason to be worried yet. If you have no more offers in February then you might have a decent reason to be worried, but I'm pretty sure Nottingham don't start giving out offers to UK applicants till January and other than on the student room, I've not heard of anyone having received offers from Bristol for economics (and I know two people other than myself who've applied for it)...

I wouldn't worry about it :smile:

that said, i applied 9 days after you and York got back to me within 10 days and Bath did a couple of weeks later. So i dunno, although apparently loads of Bath applicants don't hear till like Jan/Feb anyway :smile:

Me and 10 others in my year have offers from Bristol
Has anybody heard much back from Nottingham beyond the acceptance email? All of my other offers were received within a few weeks of my application being sent off, so I'm supposing they shelve a lot of them until after the deadline. (I'm supposing this may be because they also offer AAA, so if they have a smaller number of applicants they may make a few more AAA offers to ensure they have a full course in 2014.)

On the other hand, I may have just been rejected. ^_^

Sure thing,

GCSE: 7A* 6A (only 4A* in a way because 2 were BTEC and I got 2 for Maths)
Also got A in Additional Maths
AS Level: AABC in Maths, Product Design, Economics and Physics in that order (above 90% in both the A's)
A2 Level Predictions:A*A*A, also predicted a for AS Further Maths which I'm learning this year.

I think quite a bit was down to Personal Statement, I sent hours on it to make sure it was perfect

What about u?
Just received an invite to the UCL Econ&Stats open day. Absolutely delighted with that!

Well I applied for 2 courses at UCL: straight econ, and econ and stats.

Also applied for straight econ at LSE.

TBH I really don't mind out of those 3, I'm just thrilled I got an open day invitation for one!

I'd say that I prefer the structure of economics and statistics over the other two, so it probably just edges the other two out :P

How bout you?
