Hey everyone!

How are you all feeling? Is anyone applying for any courses with an early deadline (October 15th)? It’s a week to go, so just wanted to check in and see how you're feeling 😄

If you need some help with your personal statement, we have a whole forum dedicated to your questions (just don't post any part of your statement!), and some example statements in our PS library.

What are your main questions?

If you're not applying early, have you started looking around at booking any open days yet? If so, how are they going? Have you visited Exeter yet?

Good luck everyone :woo:

Congratulations. Have/will you accept Exeter? We were weighing up Exeter and Plymouth, but I think as soon as the offer was in, my daughter had decided.

I'm an offer holder for English and Drama! Not sure if I'll accept because I'm waiting on other applications but it's definitely on the top end of my choices.

I got to choose between 14 March & 28 March but I think it varies by subject (I’m biology) 😌

Congratulations! We want to book, have received the invite but can't find a student Number. We have received and accepted offer via UCAS but no direct emails other than offer holder invite via Exeter.
