How long did it take to get your offer ?

Well hopefully you secure it, I mean if it makes u feel better than I got the offer stating that if I get a DDM I’ll be able to secure it. So if ur doing alevels or btec and are predicted higher or same level as that then u should be fine.

Personally I won't be going since I'm from North Wales and trains are quite expensive, but I don't think it's worth going unless you are in or near London.

if you get an offer from city they’ll invite you to an applicant/ offer holder day to help you make a decision as to what your firm / insurance will be. they have one in march and one in april i think

This aged well just got rejected just because of my GCSE maths being at 5 instead of 6 met all the other requirements predicted a triple D*. Do you think it will be worth it to email the admissions team to get my application re-checked or sum like that ?

Oh shi mn 😭Tbh from my experience they told me if u don’t meet the entry requirements then they don’t proceed to look at the rest of the application. I wanted to do accounting and finance but it needed a 7 so I emailed them and they told me I will have to do a foundation yr in finance to then do accounting and finance. You could email them and ask about foundation yrs, or if u can do 1 yr in one degree then do Business with Finance! All the best

I did but I thought I might as well give it a try my thought process was that they’d let my slide because of my predicted being way above of what they are asking for and that I’m also eligible for a contextual offer so I had some hope but what can you do. I did email them an essay should hear back from them next week.
