My daughter got an offer from York on Tuesday via the UCAS hub but only received anything directly from York today including details of the you@York thing.

Hi, my youngster is about to submit their UCAS application to study archaeology, and the bioarchaeology course at York would be their top choice. They have been passionate about this subject for many years (Prof Alice Roberts is one of their inspirations) and are studying Biology, Chemistry and History at IB Higher Level. They have been told that they have a very strong PS, which includes experience at a neolithic dig which they found and organised by themselves. However, their predicted grades currently stand at 33 total (6-5-5 at HL), and the published required total for York is 34. They are actually convinced that they can achieve a fair bit higher than their predicted grades - they moved to a new school system a year ago and are improving steadily. Is there any point in applying as an aspirational choice, or will not meeting the published required grade result in an automatic rejection and a wasted UCAS space? Thank you!

Hi @Barbamama
It's great to hear about your young person's passion for the subject! We'd really encourage them to apply.
Best wishes,
Bea

Thank you Bea, they did get an offer of 31 if they complete a MOOC about stone age archaeology which they really want to do once the IB madness is over. It says it's a 4-week self study course, do you have any idea how many hours it involves?

I got an offer to study MEng Engineering yesterday, my first offer!
From the last time I checked, and looking at the uni's website, all engineering students get an interview before they get an offer - how come I didn't? My offer is conditional so I don't think I'm extra special or something.

Hey is it normal not have heard back from York yet? I submitted my form in november and heard back from all the others ://

i got mine back within a week

I would contact them and check there’s not been an error. They are usually very communicative and quick I think.
