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 York yet?

Good luck everyone :woo:

Hi! For anyone that has studied/is studying Computer Science at York, what are your thoughts on the MMath Maths and Computer Science course vs just Computer Science. I’m struggling to choose between the two 😅
