Funny story,
Mature student, applying with HNC Accounting in lieu of other qualifications. Finance and Business Law at Strathclyde was my first choice, Accountancy and Finance (N4N3) at Glasgow and Accounting & Finance (NN43) at Strathclyde was my safety.
Got accepted to Strathclyde for Finance and Business Law (BA Joint Hons), Accounting & Finance (BA Joint Hons).
Reply from Glasgow: 'We do not accept your HNC for entry to this degree.'
My understanding is that overall Glasgow seems to be more prestigious, Business School might leave a lot to be desired so Strathclyde would be the more competitive one.
Has anyone else been rejected from their safety but got an offer from their first choice?
Also would you expect slightly better answer than just no or am I being unreasonable here?
Thanks
