Yes you are correct, but I'm still considering applying for it as my reach university choice... I heard that it is still possible to get a conditional offer with 35...

My counsellors say that my personal statement is good and it is worth applying to... I really hope I have a chance! :/ I think I will be able to achieve a 36/36+ in my final exams...

Thanks for the feedback though!

AAA offer for computer science. Anyone else?
I've had an AAA offer for the BSc Geography come through today, I don't know how closely the departments are/if they have the same admissions people!

Nope! My first choice is Exeter as well - visited both Exeter and Bath's campus last month and fell in love with Exeter! It was my first choice prior to going but I met up with some staff and it reassured me Exeter is my first choice.

Where are you applying from?

How slow? Makes sense tbh. They're probably experiencing a high volume of applications atm.
Whereas when I applied, it was quite early!
