So exam season is in full swing now, but you've probably still spent some time thinking about starting university in September.

It's almost been four months since the Ucas deadline for 2024 applicants. In that time, have you changed your mind about your university choices at all - or are you still happy with them?

And if you have been doubting your choices, what has influenced your change of heart?

I've been confident with my choice for a while now, but I bounced back and forth between lots of Unis. Fingers crossed A-Levels go all good [:

i got into ppe at oxford which i'll firm (i'll insure edinburgh but I think i'll change course if i go there) but i wish i'd applied for cambridge philosophy or history or something - i think the more flexible tripos system and the courses themselves would've been better suited to my interests (my school offered 2 courses for a level history and i ended up moving from one to another bc i felt that the one i was doing was too modern and too political!!) and the fact that i don't really know what i want to do

also i don't really know anything about politics or econ so i'm not particularly inspired to start.. i think i'll give it a go though if only because i'm too much of a prestige warrior and too risk-averse to reject my oxford place for a shot at cambridge that i'm not sure would be successful!

I'm happy with the places I've applied but I more or less have no insurance choice and I probably should have applied to either Edinburgh OR Manchester and not both (both have given me 3 A* offers. The Edinburgh website was misleading...it said the offer requirements vary from AAB to 3 A*s but it never said that AAB is reserved for contextual applicants).

Cambridge rejection, Imperial offer, Manchester offer, Edinburgh offer, Durham rejection.

Anyway, I've decided:
Firm: Imperial
Insurance: Edinburgh (since I got rejected by Durham).
