1) I'm doing bio, chem, and psych (i also did an epq but warwick doesn't take that into consideration when applying)
2) I'm applying to biomedical science with a placement year :biggrin:

3) At GCSE I got five 9s, four 8s, a D* in sports science, and a 7 in art lol. At A-Level, I've been predicted AAA but I asked to be predicted AAB because I think a B in chemistry is more realistic for me personally, and I have an A in the EPQ :smile:

4) my brother lives near warwick so i had a look around and fell in love with the campus
5) no admission tests for me! :five:

6) already attended the open day but would definitely go to the offer holder day if i get a place
7) I'm so excited to go to uni but am worried about balancing studies with a social life
8) I'm also applying to cardiff for biomed, sheffield for biomed, reading for biomed, and then i'm looking to apply for physiology at another uni but not sure where yet

Nice to meet you all and good luck! :smile:

Good luck! I hope so to! I’m just waiting for my school to send it off which I feel like could be a little while but I’m applying to Oxford so it can’t be too long. I’m also applying to Sheffield! I hope you get the offers you want!

Why would you ask to be predicted a B if you don't mind me asking? Even if you don't think you'll get the A, you will have a better chance of receiving an offer from Warwick (who won't chance their conditional offer whether you had triple A* or just met the requirements), so if you were going to apply to Warwick regardless, then why not accept the higher grade.

I'd rather receive realistic offers that reflect my actual potential. For example, if I firmed Warwick after they gave me an offer of AAA but I got AAB and they weren't lenient then I'd have to choose my insurance and have the faff of there being a complete 50:50 chance as to where I'll be going to uni. Whereas if I apply with the more realistic grades of AAB I know I will get offers from places where I can actually confidently achieve. I don't know if that makes sense, but it's not about getting 5/5 offers for me it's about finding a uni that's suited to my academic level - I don't want to go somewhere where I'm ridiculously behind/out of my league/feel uncomfortable because my teacher gave me an 'aspirational', and unrealistic grade.

I got an A in my mock and an A* in my class test but trust me both my teacher and I have a mutual understanding that even a B in chemistry in the final a-level exam is aspirational for me :biggrin:

I guess by predicting me a B it saves me future disappointment

1) I study the International Baccalaureate (in the UK): HL Psychology, English LangLit, Global Politics; SL German ab initio, Maths Analysis and Approaches, Computer Science.
2) I REALLY want to study English Literature and Creative Writing at Warwick!! writing is my favourite thing and I think I want to work in publishing in the future
3) GCSEs I got all 8s and 9s; IB I'm predicted 767777 plus 2 core, so a total point score of 43/45.
4) The taster lecture was inspiring, and I love how the course is structured and how many different forms of writing we get to study!!
5) No admissions tests :cool:

6) Already been to one of the summer open days -- if I get an offer, I'll be going there again to look at accommodation and such!
7) Excited for a fresh start, but also terrified about... pretty much everything lol. As long as I enjoy my lectures, I'm hoping it'll be fine.
8) Kent, but it's a bit too close to home for my preference. Birmingham was also pretty good, so I'm applying there too. It'll likely be between Kent and Birmingham for my insurance.
