Just wanted to have a place for everyone to update their uni offers etc cos I'm nosey

I've applied to Oxford, LSE, UCL, Warwick and Manchester
Got AABB at AS level

Sent off my application 13/10

Atm the only emails I've gotten is a 'thank you for applying' letter from Oxford and enquiries about which disciplines and methods I want to specialise in for UCL.
