Nottingham vs. Oxford (etc.)

Well according to this year's online Guardian, Nottingham is 21st and Oxford is 2nd.

Yes and that refers to the English position ffs!

You dont put down any Uni as your first choice...

really?

so u dont put them down in preferential order?

ok, so i was missing something!!

thanks 4 telling me.................................

OK SORRY FOR NOT KNOWING THAT BIT!

but the rest of wat i siad previosuly still stands.

She was probs referring to another table.

u apply to a university when u put it down as your first choice because u want to go tehre the most, and u go to all that trouble in order to get an offer.

REJECTING IT IS VERY STUPID AND WASTE'S EVERY1'S TIME.

sorry, am i missing something???????

oxbridge may not be a 1st choice uni..............obviously, fair enough.

but whatever some1's 1st choice uni is, they apply there coz they want to go thee the most.
jesus......................

do people actually read???

Yes, last year's table. Do try to keep up.

Well people in this year's application cycle actually don't rank their choices on the form - they are just allowed to apply to up to six. However I do agree with you, it is a terrible hassle when people apply to universities and then reject the place as that place then has to be filled by someone else. I think this has resulted in unis such as Bristol, LSE, UCL etc rejecting certain exellent candidates because they think they will get into Oxford or Cambridge and reject their offer or name it as insurance, which just makes the whole thing even worse. However, students should have choices. If there was a way for the application process to take place after results this wouldn't be such a problem.

I edited my post: Keep up

Why should I have to refer to your previous posts in order to keep up? The fact that you had to edit it clearly demonstrates that you were out of touch in the first place. Moreover, I posted my last post before your edit, so your argument makes no logical sense whatsoever, does it now?

Me and Serendipity posted at the same time...I wasn't behind.

Maybe Oxbridge isn't a 1st choice Uni for some people. People do apply to Unis which they dont particularly want to go to, but as a back up. For someone who isn't in the UCAS process, I think you should shut up

Now I've edited my post, so "keep up". The fact that I edited it after you posted is surely irrelevent: if you edit after I say something then I can do the same, and also insult you.

very well sai *claps*

ok, about teh rank of choices thing.....i got that wrong.

BUT: WHY APPLY TO OXBRIDGE, TRAVEL ALL THAT WAY FOR AN INTERVIEW, ALL THAT HASSLE, JUST TO REJECT AN OFFER.

surely, for such a prestigious university that requires GENERALLY much more hassle in applying than other uni's..WHY BOTHER APPLYING IF U R GONNA REJECT AN OFFER THAT PEOPLE WOULD KILL THEMSELVES 4?

MAKES ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE.

theres insurance offers, but u dont dont go to all that hassle, travel hundreds of miles, stay over, DO EXAMINATIONS, INTERVIEWS, WRITTEN TESTS ETC. JUST TO REJECT IT.

WASTE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME. IF U KNOW U R GONNA REJECT AN OFFER FROM THE BEST UNI IN THE LADN THEN DONT APPLY; DONT WASTE THE UNI'S, AND INTERVIEWERS AND EVRY1 ELSES TIME.

RIDICULOUS.

if i had been pooled to a girls college at cam i would have turned it down for nottingham
