Official Warwick Economics Q&A Thread

Have to agree with Deadpan.
I applied to Warwick early October. I have heard nothing. I loved Warwick at the Open Day and was genuinely excited about applying. It was my first choice. The talks were truly inspiring. I worked hard to put myself in a position to be considered as I'm sure all applicants do. I achieved 5 A's at AS in Further Maths, Maths, physics, economics & German. I could not have done more re Personal Statement. I've been Heavily involved with numerous economics activities. Essay competitions, writing for a magazine, economics related work experience, foreign youth Ambassador..I've attended open lectures, read widely & attempted to develop my knowledge. I am genuinely fascinated by the subject I have applied to.
I had hoped Warwick would have given me an answer by now. I understand it is highly competitive with equalky competent applicants from all over the world. I do not assume an offer, indeed if my application is not up to the mark then reject me. I respectively expect some communication after 4 months. You have the information, it's not going to change. If it wasn't good enough then what are you waiting for.
With regards to being a top 5 University for Economics, all my other choices are top 8 and I have heard from all of them. LSE being one,kept me informed by email about the status of my application throughout. They too have many applicants from around the globe yet they have been swift & efficient,my experience with them will probably lead me to accepting their offer. Warwick has definitely been disappointing. From being nos 1,I'm left feeling underwhelmed. All of my other choices have viewed my application positively & I am at a loss as to know why Warwick can't decide either way!
Come on Warwick. Surely you can do better.


Warwick;52319361]Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of how important applying to university is for thousands of students across the UK and around the world. As such we have made every effort to improve the time it takes for an applicant to receive a decision but there are many factors influencing this timescale. For example, we do not always receive applications straight away from UCAS, nor are our decisions always communicated straight away to applicants as there are many delays that can enter the system at different points in the year.

We hope that you receive news on your application soon and best of luck.

Thanks! The offer was A*AA. They've only just started rolling out offers, so you will get yours soon too hopefully!

I really hope it's soon! Getting a bit bored of waiting haha, is warwick your favourite? If they give me an offer it'll be my firm although it'll be pressure getting the grades!

Have there been many Warwick rejections?

The fact I haven't been rejected yet gives me hope but equally I wonder if I only remain so as to allow Warwick to claim that all applicants receive equal consideration.

No I was rejected on Friday and I know there have already been offers and rejections so believe me no news is still good news

I hear a big increase in applications to warwick this year especially from international students and offers given to only 10% of applicants

Hi, did anyone else got this email with all the pros for a campus uni and the cons of studying in a city?
I haven't even got an offer, so I was very surprised to find this.?
