Congratulations - was it BSc or MChem - Industrial? Can I ask your stats please?


Thank you ^^
It was for MChem (4 years)
I have 4A* and 6A's at GCSE and 4As at AS and predicted 4A*s (unlikely :') ) for Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Maths c:

has anyone got offers for econ and politics yet?


I wouldn't worry, I also applied for Economics and Politics at Durham but haven't heard back yet and neither have many of my friends who applied to Durham. Good luck and I hope you hear from them soon

Hey! So Ive applied to Durham as well for Biology but I live in York so I can tell you a bit about that too! :smile:
Im not sure but I think York might have better rankings for Biological Sciences than Durham so it might be better academically, but Durham is a lot more collegiate and traditional as far as Im aware if that is something you like/dislike :smile:
Personally I think York is the most beautiful city on earth but I might be bit biased :biggrin: Durhams also really nice, but overall I think York might be the better uni for sciences if that helps at all :smile:


Thank you very much, I appreciate your input! Have you not applied to York then? And what do you wish to study in the up coming months?

No wait you want to study biology too. My bad:wink:
Received an offer at 5.40 today for psychology, as did my boyfriend for Philosophy, and I've applied for StMary's :biggrin: It seemed from the offer that people who received an offer will be considered within the first group for college allocation which is awesome!

SO EXCITED

Thank you very much! It's going to be a bit stressful relying on each other to get the grades, but it will be worth it to go to such an amazing place together :biggrin:

What position are you at in the Durham application process? (presumably an offer holder from the thread title! :tongue:)

I'm sure your offer will come :smile: they probably send out international offers in different blocks than national offers. My friend, currently at Durham, who nearly got into Oxford only got his offer in March, so don't lose hope with it!

Still waiting on St Andrews before making any decisions but I think Durham could well be my firm!

Anyone else apply for St John's?

GCSE: 5A*, 5A, 1B
AS: History A, English Lit A, Maths A, Physics D
A2 (Predicted): A*A*A respectively (dropped physics :biggrin:)

Not mind-blowing but apparently adequate. I think my PS was pretty good.

Are you waiting for an offer?
