Hi hukdealz

i dont think your predicted AAA is strong enough to take the gambling. maybe when the results is out, you can make a better decision.

Hi,

There has been a separate thread created for everyone on the waiting list. If everyone votes and comments we can get a more accurate picture on the competition and the likelihood of getting an offer.

Thank you all

I'm trying to decide whether I should firm St George's or not as I have offers from Keele and Liverpool as well. For those who have firmed/have SGUL as their first choice, why? Do any students have any feedback about their experiences there?

I would advise against firming St.George's when you have a offer from Keele. The majority of people attending Keele love it there, and everyone agrees that the course is amazing. St.George's is too risky to firm as it has a relatively low student satisfaction. If you firm St.George's you could likely end up hating it. I would say Keele is a much better choice because of the great course, the high student satisfaction, and the beautiful area. St.George's surrounding area is unanimously agreed to be sh*t, which is probably why the student satisfaction is so low. In addition everyone knows that being in London as a student is financially painful.

A lot people only firm St.George's because it's the only option they have.

At the end of the day, it's up to you, but be very careful with St.George's.

When I visited, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the uni/facilities and the halls were! Plus they have an amazing bar actually inside the uni, like it's all so convenient and modern. All the students there seemed really happy and I loved their lecturers/staff too, they were all funny and engaging aha. I'd say visit the uni on an offer-holders day or something to get a feel for yourself! :smile:

Also the location is pretty good, uni is so close to the station so you can travel around london!

In order to decide i would say take alook and visit the unis to see which one you like better. It's all a matter of personal preference. It would be cheaper in plymouth as its outside also the area is much nicer than tooting. It's also higher up on the league table. Plymouth is actually a proper uni so you get to uni life and meeting different kinds of people from a different courses whereas at st George's your stuck to a healthcare only uni. If I had the choice I would choose Plymouth personally.

I had an interview at plymouth, it was a nice uni i guess but the city atmosphere wasn't for me haha, just seemed quite small and compact, plus soo far away as well from manchester , distance is a huge factor
