Sent mine off on the 22nd of October and still not heard back. My friends have for other courses but history is notoriously late! :s-smilie:

Just got an offer from Birmingham asking for AAB, my first choice but the last one to reply! I'm more than likely going to put it as my firm :smile:

Someone I know was told that he would hear from them at the beginning of December, he applied at the end of September/beginning of October, not entirely sure what date.

AS grades: AAAB
A2 predictions: AAA
Universities applied to: Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leicester, Northumbria

I've got conditional offers from Newcastle and Northumbria, and an Unconditional if I firm Nottingham, which I'm tempted to firm as it's the safe option but I really loved Newcastle and Leeds as well :colondollar:

good luck everyone!

An Unconditional offer isn't always the 'safe' wonder-offer it appears.

Please read all of this TSR article before you make any decision about what to Firm - and especially the bit about getting Unconditional offers whilst still taking A levels - http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/content.php?r=16167-firm-and-insurance-choices

Thank you, I've read this before but I do actually really love the uni as much as the other two with higher grades-I just meant safe as in I'd definitely be in a uni I loved, but thank you as I'm still undecided :smile:
