Hiya, I’m Beatrice :smile:

I have applied for the History of Art courses at
The Courtauld Institute, St Andrews, University of York, University of East Anglia and Cambridge.

My predicted grades are A*,A*,A in English Literature, Geography and Classical Civilisation, fingers crossed it will be what I achieve!!
At the moment I have received offers
from UEA, University of York and St Andrews, I am really pleased!

it is lovely to see people on this chat, I do not know anybody at my school hoping to take this course so I hope this is an opportunity to make some friends! :smile:

watching all the other subjects and colleges send out decisions rn on the other thread and it's so scary haha. I keep hitting refresh on the spreadsheet and having a little adrenaline rush at every email notification.

Is anyone else on this thread applying to Christ Church at Oxford?

Hello! I'm Imogen :smile:

hi! I've applied for history of art at Cambridge too (Magdelene) but still haven't heard anything about interviews :/ I know someone applying to queens has been given an interview. I thought we would have heard by now seeing as we didn't need to do a pre interview assessment but apparently not?
