Official University of Warwick 2023 Applicant Thread

what were you predicted?

A* A A (A) in History, Biology, Chemistry and EPQ respectively. I was not a contextual and I am a home student, I think they're prioritising international students to make up lost revenue from prior years because I know quite a few people with similar grades who were also rejected.

This is absolutely what's going on. £9,000 for home students and £18,480 for internationals; it's clear why they're doing it. It's just a huge shame for home students. I was also rejected with very similar grades to yours for the LLB.

received an offer for LLB (3yrs), I am a home student!

Just received an unconditional offer for Politics, International Studies and Mandarin!

I've just saw a few offers from Warwick for M100 and, as per, they are internationals. I have only seen one home offer for the standard LLB this year. Honestly wondering what is going on 😭

Many of my friends have received an offer for the standard LLB and all home students. Do not feel disheartened! Hopefully we hear soon

Warwick ranked 9th in unis with most int students last year. There was talk of the government possibly putting caps on the number allowed, so perhaps unis are taking as many as possible this year before the cap is applied?

I don't think this is possible i.e. the cap on international students. The universities will push back. Don't forget that there are many British citizens who live abroad and pay international fees even though they hold British passports.

As it is, the local fees are not enough to cover university cost, and universities are said to be losing £4K per local student by 2024. So in effect, international students subsidise local students. Unless the UK govt suddenly has money to provide education subsidies and still be able to cap fees at £9K, rapid rising cost is making it very challenging for universities to survive. In other words, if there is a cap on international students, both international fees and local fees will have to go up. It's just Math.

I wish Warwick had clarified during their open days that their University is mainly for international applicants as choice wasted for home students with really great grades and no offers . Wouldn't have applied .

It's a global/diversified university, as are many top universities in the UK. I don't believe that international students are assessed with a different lens. This would be discrimination. I don't know where to get the data but I also don't think Warwick positions itself as "mainly" for international applicants. I think locals are still the majority.
