Far too early for A* predictions in Maths - you haven't covered enough.

Yes, that would have been helpful. Have you had other offers?

So you don't really need UCL - London is so expensive and a different non-campus experience.

Nah I’m pretty set on Bristol to be honest, probably going to withdraw from UCL so I can apply for accommodation. Do you think it’s going to make a big difference between going to UCL or Bristol?

Why Bristol? My students are boycotting it over accommodation issues - they don't want to risk being in Wales and having to commute in. Bristol take in more students than they can accommodate - not very ethical.

I think that was a few years back they got told of because of it. I prefer Bristol as a city to the Nottingham and it’s closer to home. And Bristol for economics is better than Exeter. I get guaranteed accommodation and from previous years they are 2nd and 3rd accommodations available you just have to pro active.

Damn why did Bath reject you? I got an offer two days ago. Bristol is probably a better choice anyways

Competitive I guess not really sure, congrats on the offer, what were your stats. If there’s any difference between bath and Bristol it’s minimal and because Bristol is so close to bath it doesn’t really change much for me.
