Hi all,
My Dd is anxiousl awaiting her a level results, just as many in this board are.
She applied to study English at Somerville College.
She got an offer, but it is an “open offer”, which means that she will get allocated a college on results day if a place appears at another college due to someone missing their grades etc. If not Somerville will have to give her a place.
She applied there due to it being modern and down to earth, she couldn’t think of anything worse than an old college that make people like david cameron.
After a lot of terepidation, she firmed the open offer with the view to turn it down and go to Birmingham if faced with a college she doesn’t like the look of. I have left this decision completely up to her.
So trying to get my facts together, for the dreaded d day.
