Do warwick give out offers to everyone for mathematics?

Well, I think I will get AAABC. With an A in mathematics, psychology and further maths. Does that mean I will get an offer?

Basically, I heard they give out offers to everyone and lets STEP take away the weaker students. Is this true? or do some people get rejected even if they have AAB at AS including further maths.

Also, isn't AEA easier then STEP, should I do both? can you do both?

However, I fail to see how they can hand out offers to like 90% of people who apply.

Your UCAS application goes to the University's Student Admissions Office, where it is first considered. (Applications with unusual combinations of subjects are also sent to the Department of Mathematics for further consideration.) If there are no problems (such as not being predicted A in mathematics) the Admissions Office then send you a formal offer in a letter from the Head of Admissions and relay this to UCAS.

Does that mean a non mathematician makes the decision to make you the offer, and just goes on if your predicted A's in mathematics. Also, when do you do the predicted grades, as I was predicted CCCB in the beginning of AS, however at the end I was predicted AAABC. Do you imput the predicted grades in UCAS form? or does the College do that?

so please do not worry if you applied before December and don't receive an offer until February.

What? So you have to wait long to know if you receved an offer.

Also, is Algebra 2 a hard exam? or is Warwick a nation of math whiners? Because I been reading the facebook petition ten pages of people complaining and writing stuff like this

Even when I sat the STEP exam in Upper Sixth and failed (largely due to drinking heavily instead of revising), I have never been made to feel so stupid by an exam as Algebra II did.

I read that Warwick is mean't to be the third best uni for mathematics, however its fifth in the times league table and eight in guardian league table. Maybe, the league tables are wrong or something.

P.S. If you miss your offer does that mean your not getting in?

not getting your offer does not mean your not getting in. warwick mathematics is very strong they expect further maths (i believe). they do not hand out offers to everyone.

God you're annoying.

1.) You can take STEP and AEA thats fine.
2.) Why are you talking about a second year (Uni) exam when you're not even in A2?
3.) Your college will input your predicted grades into UCAS, not you.
4.) I got AAB at AS with further maths and got an offer.
5.) Ignore league tables like the plague.

Basically you're writing a lot for little questions, you should just apply and you might get an offer, you might not. Either way, you shouldn't apply to universities solely on the basis that you will get an offer or not, you should be applying to the uni's which have the best course for you and which you like most.

Firstly they do give offers to most aslong as you have an A in AS maths i think you should expect to get an offer. I've done STEP but not AEA so i can't compare the difficulty, although people have said AEA is easier. I don't think STEP takes away weakers students, i personally found STEP alot nicer than Further Maths for various reasons, where as for some people it's the other way around, so who is weaker (both cases could be argued equally) ? Because Warwick give so many offers the chances of missing your offer and getting in a extremley small (taking into account external factors). I've read about 3/4 people who miss their offer will be allowed in. So if you don't meet AAB/2 or AAAA unless you have something extra like a very good STEP grade or a valid reason it's very likley your not going to be allowed in. As for why it's Fifth, according to the criterion they've used that's where it should be, the validity of the criterion are questionable however.

I totally agree, deliberating on whether you will or will not get in for the most part is pointless, as Tom said, just apply and see where you end up.

I know someone who applied with ABCEU at AS (A in French, B in Maths, C in Biology, E in Chemistry and U in General Studies) and got an offer for Maths, because he only entered his good module grades and left the rest as pending. It might have helped that he got 10A* 2A at GCSE.

I've never known anyone who's been rejected by Warwick for Maths.

...Until results day, when they get rid of most.

That's not a rejection, is it? It's missing your offer.

Which I would consider a rejection broadly speaking, but fair enough. I really like the transparent admission system of Warwick's maths department, they'll give out an offer to anyone who has the potential to achieve and then be very strict when it comes down to results day. Some other top maths departments reject applicants straight away on the basis of GCSEs who then end up getting AAAA at A-levels, and are easily as good or better than those who got accepted.

Do warwick give out offers to everyone for mathematics?
