Accounting and Finance undergraduate applications 2017

Hows everyone's applications going?
I applied to: Warwick, Kent, Sussex and Surrey for A + F and got 3/4 offers back for this subject :biggrin: Very quick responses from Kent and Surrey! I'm interested to know what everyone thinks about the unis they've applied to and what your favorite is too.

So far I really liked Warwick's campus but I think my favorite overall uni is either Kent or Surrey because they focus well on the third year placement. Sussex is probably my last option and when I visit Surrey properly I will decide whether I prefer that or Warwick. Already visited every uni but Surrey and thought they were all decent :smile:

What were your predicted grades and AS grades?



My realistic prediction I asked to put an A*AA in Business Studies, Maths and Economics respectively, despite my teachers wanting me to put A*A*A. Also predicted an A in AS Further Maths.
Last year I got AABD in Business Studies, Economics, Maths and Physics - still annoyed about physics as 1 mark off a C but oh well since not relevant to accounting and finance

Since all my offers are AAA (Warwick) or below and I should get higher than that hopefully :smile: Deliberately avoided applying to LSE or anywhere too tricky as I'm not the most academic and not too bothered about going to a prestigious uni as I go to a below average secondary school and like it there.

AABC as AS

Impressive! I've got all my offers as conditional - Any idea what you did to get the unconditionals? Hopefully won't matter in the long run though if I perform well.

Also, which uni interests you the most out of them? I really like Surrey and Kent

Nice predictions :smile: Maybe your personal statement was really good or they preferred your subjects over mine?

I thought Kent was alright, the subject talk was the best one I've been to. I'll be visiting the surrey applicant day :smile:

Economics is okay, I prefer it much more this year with all the micro diagrams! But ATM probably maths :smile: since I always enjoy doing it at school and at home. Economics is a bit boring every now and then, especially topics like globalization.

Nice Celina :biggrin: Yeah me too so I had to create one XD Well done on your offers and some nice Unis there. I might have put some of them down if it wasn't for them being a bit too far from my house.
