Ahh brilliant. I really wanted to apply to Royal Holloway last year but couldn't :frown: my friend goes there and loves it! Which Psychology have you applied to do? is it the single honours?
my choices are in my signature :smile:

The single honours course. :biggrin: I didn't notice there was a joint one for Royal Holloway?

So do you already have all your grades from last year or a few years back? Or did you not have the predicted grades and decide to retake Year 12?

Yeh, Bangor isn't too far from where I live (a few hours I think?) but it's very far from the universities my boyfriend is most likely to go to (Cambridge or Warwick) so I was very hesitant about putting that one down. :/ But in the end I decided to because it's apparantly a small campus town and the course looks good.
I sent my UCAS off before half term, and it went through our internal checking in half term (I know as they called to confirm stuff), so it should be sent off out the college now... Just waiting for my tracking information to come through though...

Psy with Sport Studies (Maj/Min) - Nottingham Trent - 260
Sport Psy - Coventry Uni - 300 (on website but I think on open day they said 320)
Psy and Sports (Joint) - Hertfordshire Uni - 320
Sport Psy - Central Lancashire Uni - 280
Psy and Sport Studies (joint) - Northampton - 260

These are in order of preference :smile:

Yep- Year 13! I'm studying Biology, Psychology, Maths and General Studies for A level, and did Chemistry and Critical Thinking for AS. What grades and subjects did you get? :smile:
I just got an offer from Royal Holloway of AAB, it's my first offer and it's made me soooo happy! I'm sat in the library at college but feel like screaming :P

I completed my application a few days ago, but my college still hasn't sent it off. Think it'll take a couple of days, is this gonna be bad?
Also has anyone heard from Bristol?
I have applied for psychology at Leeds, Manchester, UEA, Nottingham and Bristol.
Happy to see Manchester is giving out ABBs,
hope i get some offers..

eee! exciting.

I've noticed you've got an offer from RHUL too.. have you been invited to a campus visit? They want me to book a date, but you need a Student Number? or something to access the system. They said it'd be at the top right hand corner of my offer letter but that's only my UCAS ID. I tried it anyway and it hasn't worked. Grrr, might have to ring them.


Yeah I rang them up and she said she had been getting many calls about the student number. Basically, its not on the UCAS letter but today I received a letter through the post with my student number on the top right side, so that's the letter they were probably referring to :smile:

You should be receiving a letter too soon but if not you can always just ring up as I did and she can give you your student number. I've just managed to book my open day for the 8th December. Hope you manage to get hold of your number!

I'm pretty surprised - Durham was the one I thought I'd be waiting forever on.

Don't suppose you're the Alex from PSC? :tongue:

yep got mine today! I haven't booked anything yet because I'm not 100% sure I want to go there. Thinking about it properly though I probably will end up going to this open day because it's a strong possibility of an insurance, so i might see you there! well done on your offer :smile:

I do Philosophy too! I also do Eng Lit and Lang, and dropped Spanish at AS. At AS I got 3 A's and a B, but I've dropped one A and carried on with Eng which is what i got the B in, but I'm re-taking, so hopefully the grade will go up. I've been predicted 3 A*'s... but there's no doubt that I'm not going to get that :smile: UCL is my first choice. Yours too?

How're you finding Philosophy? :smile: I got an A last year, complete fluke! I'm finding it quite a struggle this year. The only thing I'm retaking is the biology practical to gain UMS, good luck with your retake! those are good grades. I see you're taking psych without studying it at A level? :smile: what made you choose it at uni?

and I'm wanting to go to London, so my rest of my choices are QMUL, RHUL, Goldsmiths and Surrey. UCL is my first choice! if not, then hopefully Queen Mary :smile: you? x
