Im not doing chemistry myself, but i know someone whos been rejected recently and is seriously bummed about it, Durham being a dream uni n all.

Even if you have other offers, can you still ring up Durham during clearing and ask for a place neway (based on ur results which are amazing) , since you are..'a dying breed' hah

I applied to Durham for chemistry way back in October and I'm still waiting too :frown: I didn't even get a confirmation letter either.

*Sits and waits anxiously*

I'm not sure that Durham teaches Chemisty, unless it's a very minor course I haven't heard of.

my mate applied in september and still hasn't heard from them, so i wouldn't worry

yer i got a letter yesterday i think it was saying that there are loads of applications and that they will take till like the end of feb to be able to look at all of them......
i would have thought that they could have done things a bit quicker if they read them when they got sent them rather than putting it off..... :rolleyes:

lol, I wondered if anyone would fall for it

Four steps:

1. Read the title of the thread CAREFULLY
2. Read my post CAREFULLY
3. Note that I am careful with all my posts, and rarely make spelling mistakes by accident
4. Realise my sarcasm :wink:

Anoys me too. I think now if I got an offer for imperial and durham 4 same grades (which we can safly say won't happen:rolleyes: )I'd proably pick imperial just becuase there allot more proactive. Durham just seem to take far too long and first impressions are everything. Saying that it does seem like a crappy reason to be miffed at them.

I want to know the purposes of the 'materials science' building on the science site. Does it have an entrance? Is anything even taught there?

Yeah it has an entrance. Erm, like the most obvious place for an entrance - at the front of the building (facing the new lecture complex!)....however yes I agree, it is very mysterious!!

A friend of mine who does Chemistry ...:wink:... went in there last term (in his 3rd year) for the first ever time and said it was a very unusual place, and everyone looked at him as if they knew he didn't belong there! lol :biggrin:

Well if you know the title, you should have got my joke rather than thinking I'm actually stupid and not knowing about Chemistry :rolleyes:

It was a joke. People sometimes make them. Get used to it :wink:
