I’ve put my UCAS application in to my school- now waiting for them to send the reference to the unis!
Classical Civilisation: Leeds
Classical Civilisation: Warwick
Classical Studies: Manchester
Plus I forgot to add Reading: Classical Studies to my application but I’m going to add it as an extra choice after it is sent to the universities.
Woo fellow classicists!
Applying to: Oxford (Univ) Classics II, KCL Classical Studies, Leeds Classical Civilisation, Manchester Classical Studies and Liverpool with Archaeology with Ancient Civilisations. Probably in that preferential order. 2/5 offers

I actually changed my mind and added Reading and Nottingham so I do have 5 choices! I’ve got offers from Leeds and Reading and I’m thinking of Leeds as firm and Reading as insurance but I’m not sure yet; you?

Ah Reading is a good one!! I applied there last year (reapplying this year) and a professor of classics sent me a letter which none of the other unis did so I love them ahaha, they usually offer a grade lower aswell if firmed
And same I've got my offer from Leeds, they were really quick which the others are not, annoyingly
Thinking of firming KCL ( not getting hopes up on Oxford and I prefer KCL anyway) and insuring Leeds or Manchester as both have a similar feel, but same I'm unsure currently and we do have a ages to decide anyway lol
