I can not bear this wait anymore (UCL econ), if I not hear back January at last I'm drowning myself.

I'm an EU national, so I have a different quali than you.

A*A*AA. Haven't done further maths. Was quite surprised after attending the open day session and hearing how many applicants for every place etc. actually feared I might not get any offers but have somehow managed to get UCL & Leeds as well so far.

How can you be predicted A*s? I dont mean to be rude, but I didnt think teachers predicted A*s. What did you get in AS if you dont mind me asking?

Someone on this said their next open days are around February and March so I don't think you'll receive anything until the deadline has past. So let's not drown ourselves just yet. :smile:

What do you mean? It's common for teachers to predict an A* if you get 90%+ at AS.

Wait what UCL have asked for UMS?
I haven't received a UMS questionnaire for straight Econ, what should I make of this? I mentioned my UMS averages in Math,Physics,Chemistry in my reference...
Received a offer from UCL for Economics and Business today though, and have had my interviews at Oxford :smile:

I've had an offer from UCL and wasn't asked for my UMS scores. They may have been mentioned in my reference though.

How did your Interviews go? I felt that the Management one went ok, but the Economics was horrible, very Maths based. Can sense a rejection coming my way.

I got an offer without being asked for it.

Although I think it may have been mentioned in my reference.
I wanted to go to a Bristol Offer Holder Open Day - takes 4 hours to get there. Getting to Warwick is 3.5 hours. I would like to go and see these palaces but it's quite far and I don't know what I should do. :frown:

If you are not sure which you want to choose as your firm and insurance, then I think it's worth going as it may help you make up your mind. Have you had any other offers yet? There are three offer holders' open days for Warwick - I think the last one is in April. You could select that one and then always cancel it if you think you won't want to firm or insure Warwick depending on what other offers you get.
Just got an offer from Bath Economics (Sandwich), A*AA :biggrin:

Everyone at Trinity College got interviewed by all 3 tutors simultaneously and received only one interview, questions were obscure but it felt alright, the logic questions I answered well and the maths questions seemed simple, although I didn't answer one correctly. Only two management questions were asked which I could have formulated a better response but under intimidating pressure of the management tutors gaze it wasn't perfect aha.

Received a offer for Economics and Business but for straight Economics just a acknowledgment letter also :frown: The interview* was decent thank you, could have formulated better responses to be honest but was decent under interview pressure. I mentioned to the management tutor I want to get into science and technology entrepreneurship/management and he said 'so why economics?' Haha, had to place such a passionate speech to redeem myself.
