Do you regret the university choices that you have made?
i do, it's seriously sucks
i orignally chosen to do medicine and for my two choices, it was a flip between chemistry and maths. so i chose chemistry
got an offer from imperial for chemistry, but now i dont want to do chemistry or medicine any more!!!
so, yeah, sucks to be me

Wish i'd applied to UCL instead of Leicester and Bristol instead of Birmingham...i say this in hindsight as i know now that my LNAT is respectable.

Pretty much me last year...and my 4 rejections for medicine kind of helped me realise it wasn't for me, seeing as I wasn't particularly bothered. My advice- Take a year out and apply for something you actually want to do next time round, rather than choosing a course for the wrong reasons (which I assume you did).
OP: Decline all your offers and go through Extra/Clearing for the subject you now want to do, or take a gap year and reapply.
Personally I don't regret any of the unis I applied to last year. With the benefit of hindsight, I regret applying to Durham because they were the only uni to reject me
but it's obviously a top uni and their course looked excellent, so it was worth a shot. I may slightly regret choosing 4 out of 6 unis that are miles away from home because it makes it a pain getting there and back 6 times a year, but I don't want to live in London and there are no other decent unis near where I live, plus I'm having a great time at Exeter, so it's worth it. I definitely don't regret the course I chose- I love it

of course i do. i chose bristol and essex for law. now i'd definitely choose durham instead of bristol, plus queen mary instead of essex.
this sucks, i am desperate to study in london, but i applied only to king's college. and i have this strabge feeling of an incoming rejection from them .... ;(

I'm predicted AAA and i applied to PORTSMOUTH?!?!?! WHY?!?!!? Its not like I even actually liked it either...
all my other choices are kinda crappy too, I only want to go to one of them now... also I think maybe I should have applied to more decent unis that require more than BBB, considering

I regret picking York because I didn't even know where it was what the course was like etc but somehow I became disillusioned into thinking that it was the best uni for me to go to. Even though I love clubbing and big cities etc and York isn't renowned for that plus the course there doesn't interest me as much. I also regret Bath for the same reasons I regret choosing York and also becuase i don't like the uni that much.
I regret Warwick aswell.....but only a little bit.
Basically I regret most of my choices except for three of them. However there is no where else I would have wanted to apply to instead so I suppose it doesn't matter.

To an extent.. now that I've thought more about it I regret applying to York, because odds are I'm not going to go - too far away. However, I don't know where I'd have applied if I didn't go for York.. so it's not like I'm looking longingly at a place going 'I wish I'd applied'.
I would say that I regret my rejection from Oxford, which I do - but I don't regret applying. So I suppose it's not that bad

I wish I hadn't applied to Lancaster 
I only applied there because I was told that it would be "sensible" to choose a uni which asks for lower grades than my others as a back-up...but I have since realised that not in a million years would I ever go there! Not only do I not want to go to Lancaster but I don't even want to do the course that I have an offer for (I've been able to switch courses at my other unis but Lancaster doesn't offer Russian so I can't change it). In hindsight, I should have chosen either St. Andrews, Edinburgh or Warwick (although I couldn't do Russian there, I just love the uni ). Oh well - I suppose I should just be grateful that I have other offers to choose from!

Oh well - I suppose I should just be grateful that I have other offers to choose from!I did last year as I didn't really think about it properly. This year I'm pretty pleased with my choices as Brighton and Sussex are near home. If I don't get in to either of them I'd be happy going to Essex.
