Hi!
Just thought I’d make this thread so that those applying for English at uni could have a place to chat :smile:
Which universities are you all applying to?

I love St Andrew’s! I was going to apply there until I saw the acceptance rate 😂
I’ve had offers from Manchester, Lancaster, Royal Holloway, Queen Mary London, New College of the Humanities. And now I’m just waiting to hear from Oxford (which I don’t think will be positive news!)

Oo, nice uni choices and congratulations on all your offers! I haven't submitted my UCAS yet, but I can't wait to be on the other side of this process!

I'm applying to Oxford, Durham, UCL, Edinburgh and Leeds, mostly for English literature and French. I've received an offer from Leeds for English and French, and one from Durham just for English. Anxiously waiting to hear back from Edinburgh and also receive my Oxford rejection! haha
which oxford college did you apply to?

I’m sure it’ll go great for you! It is such a relief to be done with most of it

I don’t think the Elat went too well for me, but we’ll have to wait and see 😬

Hi, congrats on your offers! If you don't mind me asking, was your Durham offer contextual or international? I'm anxiously awaiting mine, for English too, and hoping the fact i've heard nothing is a good thing.
Hi! I'm applying to UCL, Edinburgh, King's, Warwick and Oxford! I have not received any updates yet which is quite nerve-racking 🙄

Hi! Yes, I'm international so I'm pretty sure that's why my offer came out earlier. Best of luck to you!! :smile:
I applied to Durham and Leeds for Lit! Liverpool Lit and Media. I applied for some journalism courses too, but I’m leaning more towards Lit right now. Really hoping for Durham.
Hi everyone - I'm a current English student at University. If any of you have any questions about an English application or any worries or concerns feel free to message me I'd love to help! Bea :smile:
Hi! I’ve applied for English lit at Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. Andrews too! My other two are Bristol, which I’ve got an AAA offer from, and Cambridge (Pembroke) but that doesn’t seem likely 😂 Do you know if the Scottish unis usually take longer to get back to you? I’m an English applicant btw :smile:
