Durham Applicants 2008 Thread

Anatheme

I have great news !
They actually just sent me a reply, and they told me they were unable to make me an offer as I wasn't taking the equivalent of an A-Level in Russian. The fact is I enrolled for it a bit after I completed my UCAS form and was unable to put it on it. I told them, but it seems that they didn't get it, lol. Well, that's excellent, I'll send them a copy of my enrollment to the French Bac, WITH an equivalent of a Russian A-Levels :biggrin:

.

And the thing is : I don't care if they finally make me an offer, I'll be happy with or without it (I didn't firm Manchester yet, and I'm quite happy, lol)

You better be serious about this!!! And if so, there is such a high possibility that you will be accepted, no? I'm excited for you and keeping my fingers crossed! :biggrin:

Did you call them or email them to explain the situation or something?

Oh God PLEASE let that be enough for them Marion... I so want you to get a shiny offer. Same for Swiss_Fairy. See, we know Anatheme = Marion.

Reblet = Rowena... I'm in a sharing mood. Anyone else?

What the heck.

de.novo = Nathan... still looking forward to shouting out nicknames around the cobbled streets of Durham.

This is FUN! haha. I think we should guess other people's.

I reckon Swiss_Fairy is a Sarah or an Angela... :biggrin:

Don't know why :biggrin:

Actually, swiss_fairy is Amy, loool

So
de.novo : Nathan
Reblet : Rowena
Anatheme : Marion
swiww_fairy : Amy

She's actually an Amy according to her profile, I think.

I know, right. But there is that thing about Durham caring about students once they're in, and not so much when they are applicants. But, that applies to most universities.

I didn't have de.novo down as a Nathan for some reason!

I absolutely love the name Nathan! I didn't have him as one either. Maybe a James?

Shall we call him Nathaniel because it's amusing and I'm a child?

Reply 3572

Well, my name is not Nathaniel. Just Nathan. Or Nate if you're all a lazy bunch. But anything along those lines I suppose.

James. Lol. Good name though. I see we're back to the white font.

I prefer Marion, lol, now you all know me a bit at least ^^

Agreed. I love Nathaniel. And Nathan and Nate actually, lol. :biggrin:

Reply 3576

Lol. Fine Nathaniel it is. Sound all posh does it not? I have a friend named Rowena. She thinks you're fabulous by the way. She isn't biased at all of course. :rolleyes:

Feeling the love over my name. I like both Rowena and Marion too by the way. Unique names.
