So you have started giving out offers already? Someone from this forum claims they have an offer from you.

Do you usually have any places for Adjustment? I'm predicted A*AAB but for some reason, did not put Warwick down as I choice, which I now regret so just wondering if there's still a chance!

It is different every year, sometimes yes, sometimes no. However, if there are adjustment places available, they will be few in number.

Do you accept EPQ as an AS for your A*AAa offer?

Hello, I applied for Economics. I sent in my application on the 15th of October. 2 Days ago I received Season Greetings(are they good or bad?) and I wonder, when will I get noticed about whether I get an offer or not?

Also, I was unable to do Further Maths at my school, is this a big disadvantage?
I received AAAA and predicted A*A*Aa

How does Warwick view exam resits? I'm resitting 4 IB subjects and predicted in the region of 39-41 including Maths HL (after achieving 33 in May); I've also been offered intern Analyst positions at Accenture and IBM. So, with good achieved resit results and experience at a top firm, am I still at a significant disadvantage for Economics or Accountancy (I'll be applying for 2015 entry if I achieve my grades and spend a year at the aforementioned firms)?

Edit: it can be hard to fit everything in the PS and reference - is there any other way of letting you know things, such as certain circumstances, particular achievements etc? Are there usually places left in UCAS Extra?

Cheers.

Hello,

I am a current final year student at the University of Essex, studying BA Hons International Relations with a predicted 2.1 overall with chances for first class degree. Before that I have graduated in Bulgaria with A- in maths and very high overall mark. I want to apply for PG Diploma in economics but I do not know that my previous non-economical experiance is a problem. I have passed Political Analysis (exam based on State graphs and regressions), also development politics and economics (mixed) and I am currently studying Political Economy and International Negotiation (Game Theory mainly). Could you give me an advice or recommendation what to improve before applying.

Thank you in advance.

I got an offer from Warwick for economics last week.Dont you worry,I predicted A*aaa

Hello,

Does Warwick expect Polish applicants to have slightly better predicted grades at our national exam than the equivalent of A-levels you would normally expect as we are offering an unusual qualification?
Also, does Warwick look more leniently at non-UK applicants' personal statements as they don't spend the same amount of time writing and polishing it?

Speaking for the Economics Department we typically don’t view resits in a negative light, conditional on the resits being completed in the standard timeframe of the qualification being attained.
