University applicants 2016 thread!

Just sent off my application yesterday for History at Glasgow, Cardiff, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and St Andrews. I'm an American applicant, so I don't have any A-levels, but SAT and AP exams.

I'm confused and could do with some help, Leeds entry requirements say AAA - ABB, does that mean that that's the lowest offer they give or would that offer be like only a contextual offer???

I am not sure but the ABB one might be for applicants that have extenuating circumstances or go to bad-performing schools

The lower offer is probably if you meet the Access to Leeds criteria which includes things such as coming from certain postcodes, poor performing schools, low income etc - Google "Access to leeds" - followed by which school you wish to apply to ie engineering/medicine etc

But why would they include in the 'typical offer' section? Because A2L is something completely different

UoB run Access to Birmingham, but they don't include A2B required grades in their 'typical offer' part, I know that for my course at Birmingham the typical offer is "AAA-AAB" then if you scroll down it tells you that AAA is if you don't have at least one science subject at A level, maybe there is something similar.

I had my adult nursing interview at Edge Hill this morning, I think it went alright apart from the maths test as I only managed to answer 8/12 of the questions in the time given :/ hopefully I still pass though as I'd hate for that to be the reason I don't get an offer, anyone else find it difficult or know anything about pass marks etc.?
Also got an interview for Manchester Uni too!

Hi, ive got my interview for adult nursing on 15th December in Edge Hill. Any tips you can give me about the interview? types of questions/scenarios asked etc.

According to the rankings,Edinburgh is better.
But it depends(as rankings don't matter much tbh).
Would you love living in London etc.? Look at the course modules etc.

I know, I really loved the departmental open day (minus the fact I spilt Apple juice all over someone :colondollar:

)

Sheffield is definitely gonna be a firm or insurance :p:

I was thinking of applying to the foundation year as well since my potential firm is also AAB but I don't wanna spend an extra year NOT doing uni content :o:

I guess the maths is the only thing holding you back, wish you luck! :smile:

How competitive is civil engineering? Everyone only seems to talk about mechanical and aerospace.

And is there any chance at all of getting into a russel group uni for any engineering course with only B's and C's at AS?

The majority of my GCSE's were A* or A but i messed up last year
