Oh gosh! The wait is killing me. Where did you apply? I've applied to Liverpool, Leicester, Brighton, Keele and Portsmouth

Manchester, Edge Hill, UCL, Royal Holloway and Leicester too. I already have offers for 3, Manchester and RH have set an interview.
Don't worry, I also did crazily when they didn't send mine, but after it is out- the Uni's reply to you within minutes, and set their conditions within days. For what did you apply in Leicester?

Hopefully soon then! So scared I'll get a rejection from Liverpool or Leicester. All the best in your interviews btw! I've applied to do Geology at Leicester. How about you?

Bsci Geology with Paleobiology; for rest Geology & Physical Geography; for UCL and Manchester Msci Earth Sciences. I am most eager to do a Msci; as it nicely ties in with my "research" ambition.
Maybe we'll see each other on Geology Deparment Open Day, because I am more than sure Leicester will accept you.
Which aspect of Geology do you want to specialize in?

I do! have you had any more details about the day apart from start and finish time?

No i haven't yet which is worrying me quite a bit as the day is tomorrow. I did see a chat saying the emails have been dispatched and there was a number to call if you haven't got one yet which is what i'm going to today.

I wanted to do an Msci too but my grades aren't good enough. That'll be cool if we do see each other. I don't have a clue at this moment in time, but I'm really interested in volcanoes and seismic waves so maybe something in that area?
Is anyone going to Royal Holloway's applicant visit day tomorrow? :smile:

4 days. :smile:
Got an offer from Imperial (MSci Geology) at A*AA and Bristol (BSci Geology- currently anyway) at AAA.
Does imperial show any flexibility if you don't get the A*AA??
Trust me I thought I messed up my Imperial interview so for anyone with theres coming up soon, DONT WORRY!! :smile:

Hi guys
I am thinking of applying to the following uni's for geophysics with these entry requirements:

Imperial- A*AA
Leicester- ABB
Liverpool- AAB
Southampton- AAB
UCL- ABB-AAA

I've only been to see UCL and Imperial and was really impressed by Imperial's facilities. UCL's earth science department seemed quite small though. Southampton's facilities seem really good from what I've seen online.

My predictions are A*AB so getting into Imperial is going to be difficult, although it's the best for earth science out of the five. Where's everyone else thinking of applying?


I do believe for Geophysics Imperial have lowered the grades to AAA.

Why'd you say that? Everyone I've seen so far that has a geophysics offer has either A*AA or A*AAA. I believe it USED to be AAA as a minimum but it got increased this summer to include a minimum of one A*.

Yeah. I got told 2 days ago. I'm going to look back at a bit of AS physics. They really want to know how you think rather than what you know though. It wont be too taxing. I'll just make sure i can explain everything on my PS :smile:
