I know someone who has just rejected Cambridge Economics in favour of UCL due to the 'lack of social life.'

I slapped him.

Any university :yep:

Does that defeat the point of the question?

Ha - I think it may well do. But since when was that an issue?

Probably, but then I'd never apply to Oxbridge for a Psychology course anyway.

There are places i'd rather go than Oxbridge (having been to both places) such as Durham. So yes, i would turn it down if i wanted to.

Am more likely to choose Durham at the moment, I really don't do much work at all and think Durham would be more fun :smile:

Got an interview on Saturday, so they might reject me and make the decision much easier :biggrin:

The brother of a girl I know turned down an offer for Maths at Cambridge, the dope. :rolleyes:

He didn't want to get into debt, apparently, so went to work as an accountant. I wonder if anybody told him there would be companies queueing up to employ him if he goot a Cambridge maths degree, and who would pay of his uni debt.

A girl in my English class has got an offer from Cambridge for Medicine for 2010... she thinks she might turn it down because she doesn't want to wait a year to go to uni.

I will put it as my insurance if I get an offer from Durham.

I don't understand, will the offer not be of the same level? :s-smilie:

Or Durham potentially a grade lower?

(I could be being silly here, sorry!)

I think it'll be the same offer, if there is actually an offer.

Theres not a chance I'd go to either since I just wouldn't like it, unless they were paying for everything I would certainly say no. Just because of the reputation makes no difference to me to be honest.

Yes.

if you're not up for putting the work in, you'd probably be more employable if you just went to a redbrick and got the 2.i instead of being dragged through cambridge and falling out with a third

But then if you missed your grades for your firm, would you not also miss the grade for your insurance?

No. Despite the fact i know i could never hack it there i just couldn't stop myself from being sucked in by the prestige. This is why i'm glad they rejected me after i changed my mind about the place last minute...because i know that if they hadnt i would have accepted and ended up dropping out 1st year rendering the whole uni experience a total disaster.
