Hey! Just thought I'd make a thread for Classics Applicants for 2016 entry because i can't seem to find another one (correct me if I'm wrong). Any other hopeful classicists out there? :smile:

What offers has everyone got?

I have Kings and Warwick but not heard from UCL - my first choice, not sure if that is a bad sign - lots of Chemists and Economists seems to have offers... :tux:

I understood the Oxford test was hard - I guess that just stretches out the field rather than being a bad thing, assuming everyone thought it was hard... Good luck!

UCL first choice, then Durham, Warwick (offer), Exeter and KCL (offer).

It looks like quite a few people are getting offers from UCL (in other subjects), hope that's not a bad sign.

Ah, I am sure it isn't... They do different subjects at totally different times so I wouldn't worry! I only have an offer from Exeter so far :smile:

Hey all :smile:
Have legitimately no clue what to do for uni, since applying and then backing out from Cambridge this year.
Was considering a gap year to get my Latin back up to standard, since I did used to love doing Latin at GCSE.
Does anyone have any advice? I know it's not really directly applying but still ^^
(I'm predicted A*AA if that helps at all ^^)

I had, but backed out before I even sent off my application. I was aiming for the 4-year Classics course since I don't do A Level Latin/Greek.

At this point I'm debating applying this year at all - just can't make my mind up, I don't feel passionate about anything enough to do it for 3/4 more years.
Well, except Latin, but my Sixth Form didn't do it.

If your school doesn't offer Latin A level then have a gap year (I'm on one atm) and apply for the 4 year course next year. It's one year for the rest of your life, do what you love. You owe it to yourself :smile:
