Hey! Applying from the U.S., so I can't really compare A levels with y'all, but I just wanted to say hello! I'm hoping to study French and English :smile:

Also applying from the US!

Going to apply to Liberal Arts at Hild Bede, (Arabic, Spanish, and International Relations are my main interests. I've been studying Arabic for a couple of years already at a university level, and am applying for a gap year in Morocco, so will only keep going with Arabic language if they let me start with non-ab initio classes :smile: )

In the UK, also apply to Edinburgh and Exeter.

University and Hatfield are supposedly the most oversubscribed. The Bailey colleges in general also tend to be quite oversubscribed. It's best to just choose the one you prefer because it won't affect your chances of getting into the university.

Anyone else not got a 'we've received your application' email, despite having submitted their application 3-4 weeks ago?

Thank you so much, you've cleared up a lot for me! I've put Josephine Butler down on UCAS, I really liked it there on the open day.

I applied last Thursday, they didn't send me any acknowledgement email at all. I've applied to Hatfield, but then they said they will allocate randomly I think.. x
