I *think* you are contracted to go (and likewise they are contracted to accept you) if you firm AND hit the the offer. But I'm sure you could ask to released if MIT/Stanford tried to poach you :wink:

That's really harsh! But makes sense
MIT would literally be the most amazing place ever,sigh, getting into top american unis is just too much! Anyway, there would be the small matter of getting an offer from Cambridge first :rolleyes:

If it gets really annoying, you have a range of words to choose to define 'b' :colonhash:

Yeh that's what I thought! No idea what OCR were thinking when they came up with that :frown:

. Do you know what the A grade is roughly for CER? Is it around 75 or even higher :sigh:

Posted from TSR Mobile

The A grade for F322 is generally quite high. Highest its been is Jan 2012 when is was 83. Otherwise it's normally around 76-79.

83 wow... I guess CER is one where we can't afford to drop many marks at all. It's just so easy to make silly mistakes though (I'm not very good at Chem though so might just be me there :tongue:

Exactly! But only 3 people in the whole country achieved that so I guess UMS probably didn't fall as steeply in the marks below that?

I am literally SO new to all this (haven't really got a clue how to work things) but I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether these gcse grades would be acceptable for Cambridge:

7a*'s
4a's
1 b

I am really hoping to study English literature (providing everything is ok on 13th August!) THANK YOU!

Hey! I'm unsure of their name, though I'll try my best to find it. I honestly agree; it's much more the university as opposed to the degree.

Awesome thank you :smile:

Well lets hope us TSR lot are all succesfull ey ;D

How do you find out how many people achieved 100ums?

Been a while since I've been on this thread... but my A-Levels are: Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Chemistry and a Mathematical-Economics based Extended Project. Going for 93+% average across all four but one exam can bugger it up...

Applying for Maths and Econ at LSE and Econ at Cambridge (but I would actually prefer to go to LSE).

Does anyone else want to go to another Uni over Cambridge?

LSE is the best for econ so I don't blame you.

I'm leaning towards LSE over Cambridge for Econ too, but I would have a nightmare deciding if by some miracle I got accepted to both.

What is it for you that makes lean towards LSE? Because Cambs is generally regarded as the top uni for Econ in the UK... but for me I just likeD the sheer competitiveness and hard work ethic of LSE econ students.

Ofc, when it comes to careers, Cambridge may be has an edge on the global scale but both degrees would surely put you in a good position.
