Having been rejected from Warwick I now have a quite difficult decision to make. So...what's the consensus on Bristol v Nottingham? (course quality + job prospects)


did you get rejected today?

Bristol vs nottingham i think are very similar.. see which course and location you would prefer, look at stuff like studying abroad too if your interested as nottingham has very good study abroad opportunities

Hi, I may well have to make this decision, but if it comes to it I will be choosing Nottingham as they told me in an email they would accept anybody who gets AAA provided they are your firm choice. When I asked Bristol the same question they basically said they wouldn't accept you. Therefore Notts> Bristol

May I ask when you were rejected and what your stats are?

Did they give any other information? This could help me decide between the two!

Nottingham said in the last 3 years they have accepted everyone who got AAA and put them as firm. And although they cant guarantee anything they said it was likely they'd accept.

Bristol sent a generic reply saying students must meet the exact terms of their offers and only if spaces are available may they consider you if you miss your application.

In other words, go notts (y)

So jealous you have an LSE offer! What are your stats?
Also when did you get rejected from Warwick?
Is Durham significantly better than KCL and Bristol for Economics?
