Subject, yes. Unis... unsure of my last two choices. One's probably going to Bristol, then I'll put a really low-risk one. :/

If youre going to put a low risk one at least make it one you like, just in case you end up going to it (although its not likely to happen unless you overestimate your ability and I doubt you are)

Sounds good :smile:

Do you have any experience of Italian?

Im applying for Physiotherapy at University of Liverpool, UCLan, Manchester Met, University of Salford and Sheffield Hallam. (unless more Unis decide to do the course)

Luckily not many unis do the course so its easier to narrow it down

yeah I agree. There's no point applying to a university you don't want to go to just because their standard offer is low :dontknow:

I think I'm going to put either Leeds or Reading for my low-risk. They both have some appealing qualities.

As long as you wouldnt mind going there if it did all go wrong :smile:

Sounds good :smile:

I'm doing the NVQ in Italian as my activity in college this year and I've done a bit of self teaching a few hours a week so a small amount- hoping to do Italian ab-initio.

good luck with your application! :smile:

I'm hoping to apply to study Economics at Cambridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick + Durham, Exeter, Nottingham or Bath.

I've still got a few more open days to get to before I make my final decisions. Oh, and of course if my AS-Levels are below what I expect, my thoughts will be completely different!

I wish I could do languages ... It's always been one of my weaker subjects through High School :moon:

Good luck to you too :biggrin:

Wow, some good unis there! All the unis available to me have very similar entry requirements so unless I really mess up my AS my choices shouldnt change.

I have open days coming up too, missed a few though as I was unorganised and didnt check when they were :redface:

Good luck with your results :smile:

Just done my first draft of my personal statement (applying for Spanish and Italian) and will be returning to college tomorrow along with the start of the whole UCAS process

any other MFL applicants?

:smile:

Yup, me. Japanese Studies and Spanish, hopefully.

My college doesn't let us start applying until September but they've started showing us how to apply and how to look at courses.

good luck! which universities are you thinking of?

we're starting our whole UCAS process in the next few weeks, hopefully getting the buzzword in the next fortnight.

so far we've just filled out a personal profile to help guide us with statements.

If you need any help with Japanese let me know as I've had some previous experience with it :smile:

I'm thinking of applying to Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle (Japanese and Linguistics, they don't do Spanish and Japanese), Oxford Brookes and Leeds. I've only looked at Manchester so far, but I'm going to Sheffield next month and SOAS in October. I don't really want to go to SOAS because I don't want to stay in London but it can't hurt to look.

Oh quite similar to myself particularly Manchester/ Sheffield and Leeds. I cannot see myself going to a university in London though :colondollar:
