I am an EU applicant, therefore our Diploma is entirely different from Alevels
I chose English because despite the language not being my native one, it feels completely natural using it, and literature is the best way to dive into the culture and morals of a particular nation. Furthermore, books for dayz ya feel me?
I already have offers from Sussex, King's and Brighton, and had an interview at Cam on 7th Dec
Good luck with your applications!
Edit: Rejected from Cam and Durham; Firm: King's Insurance: Sussex
Tbf I'm quite content with how things turned out, I ADORE both universities. Hopefully see some of you guys this autumn!!

Ah, I get the feeling! Although I suppose I shouldn't complain, you've been waiting a while longer than I have haha. Where else did you apply?

Kings, Surrey, Queen Mary's and Goldsmith's (though I shouldn't complain since I have offers from those 4). What about you? Where else did you apply and how is your application going?

I've applied to King's and Surrey as well!
Along with Bristol and Edinburgh. I've also had offers from all 4 thankfully, so I should also stop complaining hahaha. I can't help but still feel anxious about UCL though! Are you leaning towards any of your options as being a potential first choice at the moment?Original post by suzannaaoliver

Ah Kings is definitely an amazing choice! I'm verrry indecisive so right now its between Bristol and Kings for me, and I'm also really interested in UCL so if I do get manage to get an offer that's just going to add to my confusion and indecisiveness hahaha. Surrey will likely be my insurance too!

A level subjects- English literature, Biology, psychology, History
