Name: jm6
Degree: History
University choices: Cambridge, Durham, Exeter, Warwick, another (York? St Andrews?)
What subject(s) are currently studying?: History, English Literature, French, Maths, Further Maths
Predicted A2 grades: A*A*A*AB/A*A*A*A*A (underperformed in my Maths mocks but should be able to raise the predictions once I get back to school).
GCSE grades: 10.5A*s and an A in Additional Maths
Why History? One of the most fascinating and rigorous academic disciplines in my opinion - opportunities to analyse and weigh up a range of perspectives in order to consider not only past events but also times in which we live.
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself? I'm a cross-country runner for my school as well as playing football and supporting West Ham

I’m planning on applying for Ancient and Modern History!
Choices: Edinburgh and Oxford (daring, I know, but I’m Dutch and I prefer Leiden Uni here in the Netherlands over all other UK uni’s)
Current subjects: History, Dutch, Latin, Geography, English, Art History, Drama, Philosophy, Maths (normal amount of subjects here)
Predicted grades: 8.5 (A*) overall
Why history: because I see it everywhere I go
Interesting fact: the first thing that inspired me to apply to Oxford Uni was Out of the Blue’s cover of All I Want for Christmas Is You (OOTB is an all-male Oxford choir) when I was 12!

Ah cool. Why Mansfield? I didn't look at that one. I opted for Christ Church in the end, but I'm not feeling too great about it aha
