I don't think I've been asked to complete module grades form from UCL yet... Did they email you or request it through the online service? LSE rejection was 'insufficient academic profile' I think because I am re-sitting

What offers have people been getting from York vs Exeter? As I'm applying a year late Ive got unconditionals from both and am struttling to choose between the two; which has greater respect/graduate prospects?

Ive noticed Exeter is currently ranked higher (overall, and Pol/Econ/Phil individually) but York has has consistently higher rankings over the years. Also, York gives out typical offers of A*AA-AAA vs AAA-AAB at Exeter. Also, theres clearly no individual ranking for PPE.

Thanks guys.

Do not worry, you are far from being alone. UCL has what they call a 'semi gathered field' - a 'gathered field' means that a Uni will wait until all the applications are in (Jan 15) and proceed from there. It is frustrating, but hang in there.

I'm still waiting on UCL also. Does anyone know how the applications are processed, particularly regarding communications from the university, for example I see a few people talking about stream emails and module request, are these required for all students and what order should you expect them?
