An amusing Bath Uni story...

I don't think I ever told anyone on TSR.

I had an assessment for Bath Uni (computer science) in February. For whatever reason, I decided not to actually go... I think I was ill as I recall. Anyway.

The point was I never showed up.

A week later, I got a letter from the department congratulating me on my "Good assessment scores" and was offered a conditional place.

:s-smilie:

So... botched application? Or apparently they just don't care...

May be off topic but does everyone have to go to this assesment at bath?

I'm pretty sure they give assessment invites to whom they expect to make an offer.

But apparently the assessment is optional :wink:

Presumably every department has a different procedure. For Bath CS you do, well you're invited. But the 'assessment' is more... part-quiz, part-questionnaire.

The assessment doesn't really matter to be honest. Obviously if you don't answer any of the questions right then you might be in trouble - and in this case I'd recommend you to go back to primary school, REALLY.
But from what I've heard they only look at the assessment if they have got any final doubts about giving you an offer and most of the people that are invited to attend the applicants day will have an offer so that should've been an automated message.
