Bristol applicants 2011

I think you may have a point there, what gets me is that they haven't even sent an email with it (or at least not to me), I don't know if it's a question of not caring but they should really think about what this waiting does to people...

Congratulations, Durham is lovely! What college? Good luck with your exams then, my friends who got in loved it too.

Well, I have two offers - Exeter and Birmingham - I appreciate they are both very good universities but I just don't know if I want to go there (that sounds bad). It's just that I loved Bristol's course and those of my other choices. Ah well

So sorry to hear about everyones rejections, I will make sure I give the english/philosphy/geography departments evils when i turn up in october !

I agree, I just couldn't believe that after all this time, all I got was an "unsuccessful" on UCAS. Perhaps they'll send a letter but I'm not holding my breath.

Exeter and Birmingham are great universities. I applied to the Cornwall campus. I loved the course and the place but it was just too far away for me (minimum of 7 hours). I hear the main campus is great though. If I'd known how Bristol was going to turn out I might have applied there instead because it would have made a better insurance.

I really hope you like where you end up. Have you got any more chances to visit?

Is it sad that the thought of this actually cheered me up?

Is anybody still as bereft of a reply as I am?

I don't even think that Geography is THAT over subscribed at Bristol I was told 17:1 which is a lot better than the 47:1 I heard for subjects like economics. They're rated 2nd for Geography, above Oxford, which makes them think they can treat people any way they like.

I am so sorry for everyone who really wanted to go there and got rejected. Probably doesn't seem like it now, but I'm sure you'll be happy wherever you go x

...now have to decide Bristol or UCL?...Bristol or UCL?...hmmm difficult

Bristol is well known for its student life etc. and is very student friendly, so no worries there. When I went there for an open day, it seemed quite a pleasant place to be at and I'm fortunate enough to have Bristol down as my insurance choice. UCL and Bristol simply have reputations as very good universities and both are difficult to get into. You can look them up in the world league tables, bearing in mind their questionable reliability. The differences in standing between UCL, Bristol, LSE, and Oxbridge are slim. Don't worry!

SERIOUSLY BRISTOL?
STILL NOTHING.

YOU GUYYYYYYS.

I'm still waiting too =( .

What have you applied for?

English, they rejected me this afternoon.

YAY.

What about you? xxx

Sorry to hear that. It must be awful having waited so long =( .

I've applied for French, still waiting...

Anyone heard for Economics and Politics (LL12) ? Wish they would be faster..

Applied to Bristol for Politics and Economics in October. Got an Offer in November I was pretty happy about that considering I got rejected from Oxford 3 days earlier.
Actually happy would be an understatement.

It is, I'm really annoyed that I've had to wait like 5 and a half months for that decision.
I'm probably going to King's College London to do Spanish with English though now (:

Hope you get an offer my love

Hi, congratulations on your offer. What grades are they asking for?
