Wow with your grades I think you'll be accpeted by all of those universities. Choose the one which you like the feel of :smile:

If you don't want a HUGE uni then don't pick Manchester.

Unfortunately i live far far away from the UK so i haven't been able to visit any any of them :frown:

So far ive just been looking at pictures and videos of them :P

I'm predicted AAB in business/economics/religious studies but am a bit tentative about these predictions having only received ABC at AS levels. While I'm hoping for AAB I think that ABC or even AAC is more likely for me. Really regretting choosing R.S - but my other choice was a D at AS.

Applying for Management and Information Technology at:
Lancaster - ABB
Bristol, WoE - BBB
Hertfordshire -BBC
Oxford Brookes -BBC
Edge Hill - CCC

I particularly like the feel of Lancaster, and am really hoping to get the grades for it - but Hertfordshire would probably be my second choice based on the feel of the uni if I don't make it to first choice. The rest are based on me liking the specific subject course of Business and IT they offer.

Still doing my application, but hope to send it off within a week or two once it's all checked over and PS is finished.

I'm predicted AAA-b. At the moment its possible I'll get A*AA-b.
Kings is my top choice at the moment. I was kind of heartbroken when I found out I couldn't apply to Warwick, didn't have Maths A-Level. They said if i didn't offer maths i'd need to get an A in my A2 physics... which just wasn't going to happen.

I also applied to Exeter, Nottingham, Loughborough and Reading. If anyone has any information about their experience of the business courses in these places, i'd love to know :biggrin:

Can anyone offer me some advise?

I gained AAB at AS and I'm being predicted AAB at A2.

So far my university choices are:

City - AAA
Loughborough - AAB
Kent - BBB

I need help with my other two choices. I was thinking along the lines of nottingham/aston, but I would like an ABB uni in there.
Also, I know that City is oversubscribed for business/management; would it be worth me applying even though im predicted AAB, and tbh can't see myself getting AAA.
I currently do Business Studies, Maths, and ICT.

Thanks.

As long as i get one offer i will be really happy, and of them i would love to go to, except maybe Durham with the whole stockton situation.
Good luck to everyone else (:

I was in the same position as you guys last year receiving offers from: Exeter, Manchester, Leicester, Birmingham and of course Sheffield which is where I am now.

Any questions you have I would be more than happy to answer, good luck with your applications!

i am looking around at unis and where to apply. I have been predicted ABB. Do you think it is risky to apply to Birmingham or Nottingham which is AAB?

Hey dudes

GCSE'S: 4A*s and 3A's. As well as a Distinction in Btec Business Diploma which was equivalent to 4 A*s and a Merit in CIDA which was equivalent to 2A's.

AS's: Maths (A) Psychology (A) English (lang & lit) (B) Economics (B) and Critical Thinking (B)

A2'S prediction: (AAB) Maths, Psych, Eng

I have applied for Bsc Management/ Business management at:
City (AAA)
Kings (AAA)
LSE (AAB)
Surrey (AAB)
Royal Holloway (AAB)

However, I'm now regretting my choices (think I was being too optimistic :frown:

) Does anyone think I have a chance of getting into any of these unis? :frown:

I think you overdid it with King's. They received 4500 applications last year for 200 places. To be honest with you, I would've gone with LSE Management instead of King's as you have a good GCSE profile and fill the requirements (AAB), an amazing PS could've given you a surprise.

Where are you from? That is my worry :frown:

I'm from Gloucester, but I think it seems like a really nice uni, with all their formal dinners etc. It seems so different from the 'partying' universities.

I'm from Kent, so the South-East.

How long did they take to get back to you, out of interest?
