UCAS Discussion Thread
 

Anyone else applying this year? [ie. to start in September]

I just got 2 offers :D

Is that for University Shaun? What are you planning to do?

English basically - I've applied for 2 English (Q300) courses (at Newport and Bath Spa) and 3 that have something else (English and Journalism at UWE; 2xEnglish Literature and Journalism at Winchester / Hertfordshire)

I've had 4 of my offers now, just waiting on Birmingham :)

should have known that, you have a lovely way with words:hugesmile:

Had 3 offers so far :hugesmile:

Good luck y'all :)

2 offers so far :D

I don't envy those of you that will have to go through the Student Finance shite.

Almost everybody I knew including myself had a problem with them before starting uni and are continually having problems.

Got an interview for 1, no reply from my other 4 yet :(

got a 3rd offer a while ago from Hertfordshire, but still waiting on Winchester and Bath Spa :bored:

Which one.. BCU? Aston?, University of Birmingham?

Good luck everyone who's applying:).

I got a 3rd on monday, the others should hurry up now :bored:

University of Birmingham, I've had their offer now but they've upped their grades since I applied and they dont accept general studies anymore so I cant see myself going there :(

Shame:(, although money wise it could save you money staying near to where you live now;).

Did you have a look at BCU or Aston courses or don't they offer the course you want?

Yeah that's true my others are all pretty far away :laugh:

Nah I didnt look at them, I already had 4 choices and didnt know what to put for the fifth so just threw Birmingham in really

If you still are considering Birmingham I suggest BCU because thats right near the city centre:), the other unis in Brum are a bit far away from each other which is expected LOL.

No one's called me for this yet. :(

I guess i'm not good enuf!!! *cries*

Got 4 interviews :) Really hope to get into Liverpool JMU.

Ah it's too late to change my options now unfortunately, but thanks for the tip anyway :)

I've had 3 offers so far :) from Aberystwyth, Gloucester and Wolverhampton to do Sports Therapy. Still waiting on Stafforshire and I had a rejection from UWE Bristol because they thought my personal statement wasn't relevant to the course when it clearly was. :S

:shocked::D.

Obviously it was relevant otherwise others wouldn't of offered you a place :conf:
And yeah im waiting for Staffordshire too...

if i went to uni i would like to do english lit :lovedup:

-never gonna happen-

Got my 4th offer from Bath Spa today :D now got the two I most wanted.

Well done Shaun:thumbs:.

:amazed: :hugesmile:

oooh, congrats Jamie :)

Put Worcester as my firm and Derby as my insurance.

Still not 100% sure I wanna go though.

Congrats Jamie:), so now you have to consider which one to go for?

Not long to consider is there?:(, have you thought about BCU or staying locally in the Midlands as it would be easy access and although travelling somewhere else would have it's advantages and disadvantages sometimes it doesn't turn out to be the right decision or neither is staying locally depending on what happens LOL.

I got 4 unconditionals and a rejection, I was delighted! It's such a faff to get it all set up though, bleh, I don't envy any of you!

Got 2 offers so far, waiting on a reply from another and cancelled another interview, cba with them anymore x)

Good luck and break down the walls;).

Thanks :) heard back from all yours yet?

Thank you :) Yeah I do.. which is hard as they all seemed nice, but I think I've got an idea of where now.

I did think about it but I decided if I do go I want to move away. What's putting me off more than anything is the fact that so many graduates are finding it difficult to get jobs. But then I realise I still don't really know what I want to do as a career and university will give me an extra 3/4 years to think about that as well as get extra qualification/work experience which can only benefit. Sometimes I just feel like I wanna earn now though. I'll probably end up going though tbh.
