Lse, ucl, cambridge, Warwick and Exeter :smile: but I think even if I did get lucky enough to get cambridge, the whole London experience might be enough to make me turn them down, idk


Good Luck with Cambridge :smile:

Right okay. I've been pooled to Girton. I have two interviews and a test


How did you find out you'd been pooled?

I applied in October and got the offer in December :smile:


Aw what:frown: your predictions are the same as mine! But I took psychology so the psychology probably doesn't sound too good :frown:

Haha great plan:tongue: Just going over Econ4. Do you have a maths test?
A friend is asking me What would everyone say is the slightly easier unis to get an offer from for Econ or Econ related course like econometrics with economics and statistics with finance. Given that gcse's aren't good 0 A*s but decent A lev predicts A*AAC
Unis in the top 25 if possible

Exeter, leeds, Nottingham worth giving ucl and Warwick a shot (but they're more unpredictable)

That Exeter requirement is ridiculous!!

I know! I think it's a hint that if I don't get those grades, I'm not welcome there :/

Received my first offer today, unconditional from Bristol for straight econ

I do have a test but it's not maths, I think it's comprehension.
I've just been reading over my personal statement and resisting the urge to projectile vomit on my laptop. It's actually the worse piece of writing I've ever produced! I really hope they don't ask me about it

I saw on another forum that Nottingham generally are 6A*s+ though?

I wouldn't buy that, I have an offer from Nottingham with literally only 2 As at GCSE.

My school was extremely underperforming but I still wouldn't worry too much about it

Nobody really cares about A* GCSE's than the top, top unis
