Wondered if anyone has applied to QMUL for straight history and whether theyve got a reply? Sent my UCAS off over a week ago and 3/5 have got back to me so far!

It's definitely worth checking though- my emails came about 40 minutes after the offers :s-smilie: I've applied to Cambridge, York, Lancaster, Royal Holloway and Exeter :smile: The first and last ones are pretty fixed preference-wise but York, Lancaster and Royal Holloway are very flexible- I love them all! Grades aren't up to Cambridge but I'm trying anyway- I'd regret it otherwise :smile: Durham is such a lovely uni but too far away from home for me :frown: I think I remember the history course looking really beautiful too- I hope you get in!! :smile:


We match on two then! :smile: I haven't had any confirmation emails yet, do you think I'll get them tomorrow? My school didn't really think I was Cambridge material so I didn't apply, but I would've loved to have seen whether or not I would've been given an offer. History is also on Lancaster unconditional scheme so fingers crossed but yeah I'd love to go to any of the first three unis.

Did you go to a Nottingham open day? I still haven't got a fifth choice yet: it's between Nottingham, Manchester or Sheffield


If you still havent decided then I'd recommend Nottingham I have Nottingham and Manchester as my choices. Nottingham would of been my first choice but it's too close to home for my liking. Beautiful campus, amazing facilities, the halls are better than average and the staff are so passionate!

I've submitted with Sheffield but I think I might end up substituting Newcastle for Nottingham, I'm really not sure. Got two acknowledgement emails this morning! Just waiting on the other three:smile:
AS results: AAB
Predicted: A*AA
Choices: Oxford, York, Birmingham, Bristol and Exeter.

Little concerned about people here saying they've heard back from York because I sent mine off on 12th Oct and I haven't :frown: :colondollar:

I've applied to York too! We've got identical predicted grades as well! Only sent off my application yesterday so I can't help you there but I'm sure you'll hear soon. I wouldn't worry yet, hopefully you'll hear from them next week! Fingers crossed:smile:

Oh Good! I am basically addicted to track now - especially because the two people in my year who applied at the same time have started getting offers in the last few days! Let me know how you get on! :smile:

I'm exactly the same. Is there an app or something I can get? I've refreshed my emails SO many times. It's strangely exciting though and I will, you too! Good luck!:biggrin:

Wars of the Roses unis too! :tongue: I applied on a Friday and got my last acknowledgement on the Tuesday :smile: Check your junk mail as well- one of mine ended up in there. I'd say you should have applied but that would mean more competition for me :wink: Glad it's not just me hoping for that unconditional then. What are your predicted?

Got my York acknowledgement last night, hopefully offers will come through next week! I'm not expecting a Durham response any time soon. I'm predicted A*AA but I think a subject has under-predicted me because I got full UMS at AS and my teacher will only predict me an A. At least history is A*!:biggrin:How about you?:smile:
Predicted A*A*A (History, Classics and Eng Lit) - AS AABC - applied for history at Kings and Bristol - and Ancient and Modern History at Oxford, Nottingham and Durham

Offers from Nottingham AAB and Kings AAA, still waiting on the others

Newnham, how about you? :smile:


Jesus :smile:
AS results: AAAA
A2 predictions: A*A*A

Already had offers from Warwick, Liverpool and Manchester, now waiting on Bristol and Exeter.

On that note, anyone got any idea how long Bristol will take? I got an acknowledgement from them on the 23rd, so hopefully they don't take as long as Exeter (who are apparently ridiculously slow).

Oh really? Congratulations!

I just heard from some other people that they normally take quite a while, but maybe that won't be the case this year?

When did you send your application off?

Ah OK, I sent mine on the 15th, so it might be a couple of weeks yet.

Do you mind telling me what your offer was for? I know the range is A*AA-AAB, so I don't really know what to expect lol.

Mine was A*AA which I was surprised at because at the open day they said it would be AAA
