Zoology 2015

Hi everybody! I'm desperately trying to find a thread dedicated specifically to applicants for zoology at the university of Sussex 2015.
I couldn't find one, so... I started one myself!
Is anyone else planning on firming Sussex?! Would just be nice to say hi to everyone so maybe we won't all be complete strangers in September was anybody else at the applicant day on Saturday the 24th Jan?
If you are planning on going to Sussex, where do you come from and why did you choose Sussex?

Hi! Yeh I think I'm probably going to firm sussex. I was at the applicant day on the 24th! I live near bristol. I like the atmosphere of the campus and brighton as a whole and the course looks really interesting. Where else have you applied?

Awesome! don't you think the lecturers were really good?
I'm from Stratford upon Avon
Yeah same here, the course is so good compared to some others, I thought the paleozoology sounded awesome as I love dinosaurs haha.
I've applied to Glasgow, Liverpool, and Liverpool John Moores. (Have offers from all- Bristol rejected me lol!) how about you?
But yeah I think Sussex is for sure my favourite

Yeh, I thought the bee talk was really interesting Woah that's quite a long way away!
Aww stupid bristol!! Ive applied to Exeter, Reading, Royal Holloway and Plymouth, and have offers from all of them so I'm really pleased!! Sussex is definitely my top aswell. What do you think your insurance will be?

It was yeah, I know haha!
Well done, I thought about applying to royal holloway!
I reckon Liverpool John Moores will be my insurance as it's the only one with a lower offer than Sussex and it has the next most interesting course too how about you?

Yeh I really like royal holloway! But royal holloway has the same offer as sussex so I think I'll probably put plymouth as my insurance as it's got a much lower offer!! I was surprised that there were so few people at the applicant day for zoology last week, I suppose it's still early though.

Hi! Nice to meet you both. I also applied for Zoology 2015 at Sussex. I come from Berkshire area and chose Sussex because my dad studied (open-uni) there years ago and really enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for beautiful nature so I fell in love with the fact that Sussex Uni has the South Downs National park right on its doorstep.
My main reason for applying to go to uni overall is for the experience - learn more about others and chosen subject, gain some confidence and independence, and hopefully some new friends too!

I've been on edge about receiving an offer/decline for months - sounds like you received an offer OP? If you have, congrats! Good luck/congrats with the offer to other Emma also!

Hoping to hear from them soon. I think I will receive a late response because I am applying a few years later than I could have done and am now in work, so I guess it would make sense for them to contact people currently in their last year of education first.

I'm really nervous about the prospect of going, but also of not going if that makes sense? Haha!

Hey again, just an update to say that I did get an offer from Sussex!
My parents really want to come to the Applicant Day haha, are they supposed to come?
I'm nervous about the Applicant Day now! I went to Open Day, it sounds like a similar thing...I wanted to ask here, what's it like? Worth going, do you think?

Hey, im rhiannon, I have an unconditional from sussex for zoology but I can't decide between there or reading uni! So will be there on the 28th to help me decide!

Well done!! Yeh your parents can come, mine did. There are some talks that your parents can go to when you're having your subject talks. I went to an open day aswell and it was quite similar but I think at the applicant day you get a better feel of the course and you get more information. I think it is a good idea to go to the applicant day as the teachers were helpful and the lab experiment was fun, you can really feel how it would be like to go there. Hope this helps!

Hi! congratulations on your offer! I'm going to the applicant day on the 28th and I'm bringing my sister with me but I think it's really up to your parents if they want to see the uni or not I think it'll be better if you have someone with you so they can give you advice if you're still unsure of which uni to firm.

Hi Rhiannon,
Would love to know whether you decided on Sussex or Reading (and why). I have an unconditional offer from Reading (I deferred last year at the last minute) but am now not so sure about whether to go there or to try to get into Sussex via clearing (couldn't apply directly without turning down my place in Reading and didn't want to end up with no-where). I really liked Reading but have friends at Sussex who love it there and now I'm not sure if I made the right choice.
