Physics 2014 Entry Hopefuls!

Scroll to see replies

Wow you're so lucky! Are you a deferred entry then? And yeah it is - all the bits about clocks confused me a bit, I think I'd rather they just talk about waves!

Yeah I finished my A Levels last year :smile:

It was a bit convoluted how they explain it all really.

That is exactly how I feel except I applied to Bristol, Sheffield, Southampton, Leeds and Leicester. And good luck :smile:

Oxford, Birmingham, Bath and Lancaster. Just one offer from any of these would make me so happy!

Also applied to Oxford and Lancaster, have u heard anything from Lancaster?

I have applied to Lancaster, Exeter and Oxford too! I have an interview at Lancaster so far - do you know how many people who get interviews there get an offer?

This link to another thread below may be of interest to you. There are only a few of us on there and it's died down in the last few days but there are some really helpful posts by a guy called Manitude on there (he is a current physics student at Lancaster).

I got A*A*A*A in Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Biology. I've applied to Cambridge, Warwick, Imperial, Manchester and Durham.

Wow that's amazing! How come you didn't get in first time?! I've applied to Manchester too - I loved it there! Oh btw - have you found it a big disadvantage not taking further maths? Because I haven't either and I'm worrying about it!

Don't know. Although Lancaster has 5 interview days which seems a lot so am thinking they invite many more than offers. Only a guess though.
Have you heard anything from Exeter? When is your interview at Lancaster?

I didn't apply for physics first time, I changed my mind and declined a bunch of offers.

Yeah Manchester does look really good!

I'm self teaching it in my gap year, but Warwick obviously didn't care about that as they gave me an offer with no conditions on what grade I get :smile:

Ahhh I see - I was panicking then! No way I would get in if you didn't! I looked at Warwick and loved the Uni but the course didn't really excite me which was a shame :P

I'm glad I reapplied though, I wasn't predicted an A* in physics so if I had applied for physics last year I wouldn't have had such a good chance.

Yeah the uni is really nice, fair enough if you didn't like the course though :smile:

That's good then! I'm predicted 3A*s this year so hopefully I'll get some offers! Yeah I was sad I didn't like the course!
