Got rejected from Leeds - there explanation
"Your personal statement does not demonstrate the full range of attributes required for this course"
I was expecting it but I still feel annoyed that they never even gave me a shot at an interview. Hey ho, everything happens for a reason.

Sorry to hear that, but at least you can now start planning.

Yeah that's true!
To be honest, every course looks for something different and Manchester met answered so quickly I've obviously got what they want so while I'm a bit annoyed, it's not the end of the world.

Yeah exactly! Every uni that met me offered me a place...yet I got three rejections purely from my application. So I'm just thinking that it's completely dependant on the individual who's reviewing applications in admissions! Good luck at Manc met!!
I just got rejected from Leeds as well, I will send them an email to get an explanation too. I think the long wait gave it away a bit!

Same! Never thought of it that way!!
Thank you, I'm beginning to feel excited for going to Manchester met - at least I'd decided that was what I was going to do before I got the rejection, otherwise I would have been a sobbing mess haha

Sorry about Leeds - but you can now move forward and firm your choices and start to plan!

Its a weird trend I noticed last year that very few get accepted at both MMU and Leeds - looks like it may be continuing this year - its strange how they all seem to be looking at applications differently!

Come to MMU where you are wanted lol and bugger Leeds :biggrin:

Don't take Leeds too personal - its a hellish rollercoaster ride this applications business.

You will have to tell me your real first name sometime - cant be going into lectures next year shouting Higlet!
Sorry to hear about the rejections, but at least you can move forward and plan ahead for your exciting new venture! :smile:

I think it's safe to assume that I am always the last to hear, so no, nothing. I'm not expecting anything until the end of March now. :tongue:

Thank you :smile: I really want my mmu offer! So as someone said before if people apply to mmu and Leeds, they get into one or the other. In that case I wouldn't mind a rejection from leeds haha!

It was me that said about MMU/Leeds lol - it seemed that way to me last year but maybe I was looking for patterns that didn't exist! (Leeds did turn me down after all so maybe my views are tainted)

Just hope you get some good news soon
