I might go to surreys as im almost 98% sure it will be one of my choices.

What date have you picked? I should maybe book one before it all fills up!
(I've known about it for a while, its just that i've been in a lazy state!)

I picked the 5th of feb! But i lost like the timetable and i forgot where to find it

Probably the most likely for me too! I gotta go check the trains then >

Maybe we'll see each other then?
Ah i need to ask my dad to drop me off or I have to take a train too

What do you guys think about the fact that Nottingham/Bristol are far away from London and can therefore limit your links/ contacts/ work experience within the finance industry! Any ideas? I am slightly worried

To reply to both of your posts, I received the AAA offer yday and everything I've heard from notts seems only good. The problem is job prospects as I've also got an offer from UCL which could be better for future jobs. Any suggestions?

Well I'm just sat here trying to comprehend why I'm only in the "maybe" pile for Nottingham L100 when Bath, arguably as good/slightly better gave me an offer a couple of days after receiving my application.

It's frustrating because if I received an AAA offer from them (as a few on here have), I'd be able to have a really good insurance lined up (in case I missed the A*).

Confused. I know I sound big headed but I have a PS with a ton of relevant EC, strong preds (A*A*A) and AS grades, a relevant EPQ + additional FM AS this summer. I chose Nottingham (for one reason) because I thought I stood a fairly good chance of receiving an offer to firm with if Bath didn't want me.

Ugh. At least I haven't definitely been rejected yet. I was really hoping on something to insure with, though...

Are you an international student?
Because they only offer AAA to International students.

And considering London vs Nottingham, London obviously has a huge benefit for obvious reasons. I have also applied to UCL, but waiting for a reply .

UCL will undoubtedly be my first choice mainly because of its location

your probably correct, but could you direct me to where you saw that? just want to clarify for myself is all.

Im hoping i get an AAA offer from Nottingham, it would be the perfect insurance to have.

Look under entry criteria-> International

how do you know you're on the maybe pile?

however i think im in the same situation as you bud - i got an offer from Bath only a couple of weeks after they got my application, and Nottingham still haven't said anything to me yet haha - they gave one of my mates an offer for Economics yesterday and his application was definitely worse than mine haha

I'm in the same situation as you haha! I've got the same offers as you, and I hope to go down the finance route post-university (possibly IB). What are your thoughts on reputation/careers services/networking opportunities for York and Notts?
