It makes no sense...
I wouldn't even mind that much if we had been warned on the website that it could happen but they can't do this and not warn us!


I never would have applied there if I knew that they would make an offer that high! I'd only understand that from Cambridge but Exeter are ranked way below at 10th and has just completely put me off now!
Ah I don't even know where to apply.My predicted grades are 2A*s and a B. :frown:

(Lol re-posting my message here because I didn't notice this sticky thread at first)

Just got an A*A*A offer from Exeter, well excited to finally get an offer but it's an odd offer to say the least! I was planning on Exeter being my fifth choice so I think that's now gone out the window haha.

Surely giving out such high offers is going to detract loads of people from putting it as firm/insurance because I'm presuming there's going to be lots like me who were originally planning to have them as a back up.

I just got that too wth

You have misunderstood my previous post: I was answering whether or not I had applied to Queen Mary, not if I had received an offer (which I haven't yet).
What other universities have you applied to?


Oh my bad, sorry.. I've applied to Nottingham, Birmingham, Queen Mary, Loughborough and Leicester. Yourself?

Edinburgh, Sheffield, Queen Mary, Southampton and City. Have you received any offers yet? I've offers from Sheffield and City.

If you don't mind me asking, what subjects are you studying for A2 and what were your AS grades?

I got an A*A*A offer from Exeter on friday. My mum rang them up today to ask why it was so high and they said it was because my predicted grades are high. Bit annoying really...

I disagree, I got an AAA offer from Nottingham since that's what I'm predicted and I don't meet the requirements for a contextual offer anyway


Ooh really I've mostly seen a*aa offers so that's what I was guessing it was

I'm doing Maths and Physics too! I know it must be difficult to decide which universities to apply to with your predicted grades, so if I were you, I would apply for 2 A*AA, 2 AAA, 1 AAB as A*A*B is the equivalent to A*AA.

It looks to be that if people are getting predicted a number of A*s then they're being given a really high offer. What grades were you predicted?
