History at York 2022

Hi,

I've got an offer for History/English at York and thought it might be nice to get to know some of the other applicants for History! (If you're an English applicant/offer-holder too, check out my other thread called English at York 2022)

Here's some icebreaker questions:

1. Which other universities have you applied to?
2. Why York?
3. What are your A-Level predicted/achieved grades?
4. What's your favourite historical era?
5. What's your favourite historical book?
6. Which college do you hope to go to at York?

I'll start!
1. Oxford (rejected :frown:), Durham (haven't heard back), Nottingham (offer), Sheffield (offer)
2. So many reasons! I think the course looks absolutely amazing for my interests so that is good, the wellbeing support looks really great, very historical city, people seem nice, it's got a fantastic reputation
3. A*A*A*A*
4. mid Medieval-Tudor period
5. Sarah Bryson's "La Reine Blanche: Mary Tudor - A Life in Letters"
6. Goodricke!

How long did york take to come back to you with an offer?

My school sent off my application on October 5th and I received an offer on 15th October! Because I applied for a joint degree though I think it took longer than others, but then the fact that I applied in October helped as it was obviously processed before the masses of applications came in. I wouldn’t worry about the dates at all.

Ooo that’s so cool! I haven’t actually firmed York as I’m waiting to hear back from Durham still! But on the York offer-holder’s day, they said there was some good accommodation info on the website but I think you have to put down quite a few choices for accommodation on the form! All of the colleges seem great tho so I wouldn’t worry :smile:

Oh okay thank you, I’ll have a look on the website now! I’m not quite sure whether to go campus east or west - did you have a favourite when you went to visit? I hope Durham get back to you soon :smile:

No problem! I think Campus West was better overall as it’s less isolated and connected to the other parts but I did really really like some of the colleges on Campus East so I think you’d be happy wherever! Aww thank you, I hope so too haha :smile:
1. Oxbridge rejected, offers from Lancaster, York,p & York St John , still waiting to hear from Durham (so withdrawn)
2. Love the city, very good travel links & loved the campus.
3. A* A* A A
4. Medieval to Modern European & USA, particularly conflict and women’s history
5. Don’t really have one TBH
6. Any on east campus really, but prefer Ann Lister & Constantine

I’d waited so long for Durham to offer I decided to firm York
