Is your notts offer A*AA? If so, what will you do if you miss the a* and get AAA?


I assumed they would still let me in if I insured them and got AAA. Not so sure after what you said :/ Hopefully they only said that to persuade you to firm it.

I think i just got an offer from UCL?!

I am very pleased to have received your application through UCAS to read Economics L100 at UCL and I intend to recommend that an offer be sent to you through UCAS in the near future. Before such an offer can be made and communicated, however, it is a UCL requirement that you attend an Open Day in the Economics Department.

I do not understand UCL. They say it's a requirement to attend an open day, yet they made me an offer straight on UCAS, without any prior correspondence, let alone an invitation for an open day.

Thanks! & I'm from South Wales :smile: Yeah Welsh Bac is just effort I guess, I'm predicted an A but I've pretty much got an A* as I got a distinction in my individual investigation..

Same lol, I live in Newport. Welsh Bac is bare time consuming but its still a qualification aye. Did you do your investigation on something economics related? I compared foreign/government investment in Wales and Switzerland and got a distinction too
Ucl L100 open day invitation for 4th March :smile::smile: Best week ever got 2 offers in a week (Bristol L100 as well) if turning up to open day guarantees me an offer :smile:

Ahh I'm at St Joes, so I'm guessing you don't do economics at A level since you're not in my economics class? 😂😂😂
