UCAS 2014: Decisions Discussion Thread

Almost certainly though I am waiting on Exeter, so if I do get an offer from them then I will have to rethink maybe! What about you?

I've got 4/5 for Psychology so far

Aston University(4 year sandwich course): AAB
University of Birmingham: AAB
University of Leicester: AAB
University of Liverpool: ABB

I'm still waiting to hear from University of Nottingham

Hi! I'm a final year student at Edinburgh Napier so can answer any questions you might have about the Uni? What course are you going for? I completely understand what you mean about people 'turning their noses up'. BUT I'd say don't let this guide your decision. Part of the reason for this is because Napier used to be a polytechnic, but the Uni has changed dramatically faster than its reputation! I initially considered other Uni alternatives but eventually chose Napier because the course seemed better than offered elsewhere, and I'm so glad I did. Something that sets the Uni apart from others is its excellent networks with industry professionals (prospective employers!). Plus there are loads of international opportunities for Napier students only, because of the Uni's huge global network (it also runs courses in China, India, Singapore, US). Plus there is option to do an international exchange year - students often go to the US in their 2nd or 3rd year. Also, Edinburgh Napier key selling point is that it has one of the best graduate employment records in the entire country. There are so many reasons for this.

RE your dilemma of going straight into 2nd year, don't worry! As modules change every term, there are always people meeting for the first time at the start of every year, so you won't feel like a newbie. Plus, there's so many freshers events (and re-freshers for 2/3/4th years) throughout the year it's almost hard not to get involved.

Let me know you've any specific questions! I also live in Edin so happy to answer city related Qs

0/5 offers for music! grrr
Applied 2 weeks ago…

i swear i've smoked more fags in the 13 days since my application went off than in my whole life beforehand.

i'm so stressed out it's ridiculous.

0/5 offers so far. unis are teases.

Same here, my application also went off 2 weeks ago. Even friends that sent off more recently have already had more offers!

i just want 1. 1 offer to confirm that i'm wanted somewhere

Application sent: 12th December 2013
Uni: Leicester
Course: Mathematics (G105 MMath)
Decision: Offer
Grades: Unconditional
Date Offer Received: 19th December 2013
Reaction: I'd just come in from a *stressful* rehearsal when I got my offer. I saw the word 'Unconditional' and just started crying. I went bright red *attractive* ! Had to check the email again and again to make sure I'd read it right. Then my dad got in a minute later and I ran downstairs screaming at him. First uni offer and it's almost Christmas so I'm taking this as an early present! Best present ever

Did you have to send them proof of your A levels? I got a conditional from York because they want to see my certificates first

No - I don't know if that's more because I'm applying through my school though? Unless you are too? Also I haven't actually done any A levels yet, only AS, so it could be that? I honestly don't know - how each uni gives out its offers is a mystery to me! I can only guess

I'm applying through my college too, but I've done A2 and in a gap year, so was confused when I got that conditional! How did you get an unconditional with only AS? I haven't heard of that before!
