English Applicants - Durham 2019

Hello everyone!

Looking forward to meeting you all in October, and hopefully we will all receive the grades we need!

I have started this thread because I have not seen one for English yet. I thought that this would help us get closer and meet each other and hopefully make it easier for us at the beginning of the course!

I will start off by introducing myself. I am Cristina, I'm 18 and I am from Romania. I moved to England 4 years ago and I wanted to study English Literature since I was really young. How about you?

My daughter applied 19.11.18 and received her offer 19.12.18 for English Lit. She is predicted A*A*A and they have given an AAA offer. GCSEs are slightly below average for Durham: 3A*, 2A, 5B. Applied to Castle, home applicant.
Good luck all :smile:

Thank you, I applied in early November and received the offer about 2 weeks or so later? To be honest I can't remember exacty but it was a longer wait than my other options but not a excrutiatingly long wait :smile:

I received an offer for English literature today, and thought I'd say hello.😊 I'm assuming it'll take a while before I get allocated a college, but what about you? Any word?

Congrats on your offer, and hey! :smile:

I am currently waiting on college allocation as well but it seems like I am not receiving any e-mails from the University. I have e-mailed them and I hope they will let me know what's happening soon :fluffy:

Hey!
College allocations were officially scheduled to begin today, right? They'll probably get back to you soon. I hope you find out!
The wait is nerve-wracking.
Which college have you chosen as a preference?
And hey, you're an international applicant?
(I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I'm still pretty new to this, haha. 😅)

It's fine to ask, don't worry! And I hope you will get into the college you have applied for!!
I am not sure whether to call myself an international applicant or not. I have started studying in England in Year 10. Before I used to live in Romania but thought it might be easier for me to apply directly from a school in the UK. :h:

I sincerely can't remember which college I have applied to, I guess I will find out on the day I will be allocated. I think I have chosen St Mary's. I might be wrong though! I don't mind as long as it is not the college that's furthest away. I'm a terrible morning person. :loveduck:

And you?

Ah well done! I’m still waiting to hear back from durham for a decision! Do you mind me asking what your GCSEs / a levels are like? Xx

Thank you! 😊
I hope you receive an offer soon, the not-knowing part is agonising, isn't it?
And then you get to be anxious over college allocations. 😅
Will Durham be your firm?
Regarding GCSEs and A levels, I'm an international student, so I could only tell you what the equivalents are, the latter of which I'm supposed to be preparing for. 🤦*♀️

I've applyed for English Literature and Philosophy and got put in St Aidan's which seems a bit isolated and wasn't my first choice so I'm a bit nervous, tbh the course more than makes up for it though.
