Desperate being the operative word. I am normally quite laid back, however i don't think i have ever been so impatient in my life. I think i will die if i don't hear until April... I seriously considered emailing when i was drunk on Saturday to have a rant at them, luckily for me i wasn't quite drunk enough. Ah i see i have become one of those annoying whingers... In a vain attempt to brighten my post what college have you applied to and where else are you waiting for?

I phoned last monday! But that was because i've found out i'm eligable for extenuating circumstances... but they also said they're hoping to get through a big chunk of them in the next couple of weeks.

I can imagine me drunkenly emailing them "i lurve your uniwersity and i proimisss i'll work realllllly really hard and be a great studnt cos i love you lpots and lpts" etc.... keep me away from alcohol and computers - they do not mix!

I've applied to Butler because the thought of sharing a bathroom made me feel ill (sharing with my 10 year old sister is bad enough) and i like to cook for myself. And i like the fact its brand new and we can make what we want of it.... but i guess i'd be happy anywhere!

I've applied for law at:

Durham (Butler) - pending
Warwick - pending
Bristol - originally rejected now being reconsidered so pending
Keele - conditional offer of 27 IB points
Sheffield - originally rejected but reconsidered and made a conditional offer of 33 IB points

How about you?

But then kevster will be back next year with a conspiracy theory that you have to be a good looking girl to get in (as well as not being Irish) :eek:

Please can someone convince them to give me a place? If you do, i will personally make sure you get a date with the prettiest girl in Durham... one way or another

Wow, good job you rang and told them about your circumstances, obviously they do take personal reasons into account which is def a good thing.

My email was going to be more along the lines of ' You best give me an offer ****ers because i have waited 5 months for you lot to get your act together... you know what i don't even wann go anyway!' ( i obv do!) My friend was like, do you actually want them to reject you emily?

I applied to St Mary's at random really...

But what if you're a good looking Irish girl? Oh won't that just blow the minds of the admissions department. They won't know what to do. :rolleyes:

mhsc got me curious and I took a peek at your profile. You look like Heidi from the Sugababes.

Who would get the first date though? The guy/girl that convinced them to let you in or the admissions tutor that actually did let you in? Also what would an unconditional get? :wink:

lol

EDIT: Hmm....put in smiley to make it look less pervy (not that it was meant to be...oh god I've dug a hole)

If you want to get in just gather up all the girls from this thread and dance naked in the admissions office of your department singing a "give us an offer" song.

You'll either get an offer, or get arrested. Its worth the risk, no?

Really no one told you that you look like Heidi? Surprising. Well you aren't that rich and successful yet. Give it time.

Don't listen to kevster. He's our resident Irishman mascot. I am having withdrawal symptoms from him being temporarily banned.

The convincer would get the date. The admissions tutor would get a perhaps previously doubted, wonderful student. An unconditional.. well... all the above PLUS a 5 course french meal every friday made by Anatheme... all the cash i could muster, quite a few antiques from my house AND the undivided attention and devotion of the said applicant.

mhsc - desperate times, desperate measures

Good lord! Good luck with it then. Perhaps you should find the admission tutor and show him this thread, then show him this smiley: :puppyeyes:

and he'll definitely accept you!

Ok, so I'll teach them how to cook ...
Hachis Parmentier, galettes, crème brûlée, etc.

And if they want a naked dance, I say go for it. Why not doing a little Moulin Rouge dance ?

mmm crème brûlée ! I reckon you could probably pull off the Moulin Rouge stunt and lure them in with your sexy french accent.

You know, I could just break into the respective admissions departments and drug their tea. And then just process your applications and notify UCAS! :ninja:

Damn, now I want crème brûlée and galettes.
