Applying for Uni 2020

[daydreamornot]

Thought it may be nice to have a 2020 support thread, everyone welcome! (maybe Oxbridge posts could be kept to the Oxbridge thread).

Sorry, I should have started - Well done to everyone with their offers!!!!

Oneteen what is DD doing in Japan?

Hugo DD's friend has an offer of ABC from Exeter with £1000 if she makes them firm. She is not in a contextual situation and the standard offer is AAA for her course. Has Exeter lost reputation alongside Bristol & Warwich recently for pastoral issues? I haven't really paid much attention as it's too close to home for DD and she refused to even look.

Not sure, but I think Exeter had a lot of places in clearing and I guess they don't want to make the same mistake this year so I guess they are attempting to lure DC to firm or put Exeter has insurance...although like @MillicentMartha

@hoghgyni - She's gate crashing a Business and Arts trip (ticking a box on a wishlist that goes back probably 6/7 years). Thankfully all seems OK after last weeks horrible storm...and she's incredibly excited.

That should say like @MillicentMartha - it could backfire. Dohhh

@hugoSpritz - DD's course was in clearing and that was Streatham

I don’t know, Hugo, I only really look at the maths courses which are in Exeter. I was surprised that they went to ACC in clearing, they offered my DS1 AAA back in 2016. I think there was some pastoral issue at Exeter fairly recently, but too recently to cause a lack of spapplications last year?

There’s a lot of crossover in mechanics between A level physics and maths. It was a shame I couldn’t convince DS to do physics! The tutor sounds great, oneteen.

We really will have to start a new thread soon. Who’s up for it? Someone who posts regularly? (ie not me! )

spapplications?

In need of a spa day MillicentMartha ?

Exeter had a disgustingly racist law student society group chat exposed which led to some students being expelled and some having their training contracts terminated.

Ooo, a MN spa day?

Sorry, couldn’t wait!

New thread

Congrats on all the offers. Spare a thought for my poor DD applying for vet med. All her friends getting offers and she'll be lucky to get an interview by December. She's still filling out the extra forms Unis need. But I'm so pleased for all her friends getting such low offers this year - still a few unconditional creeping in !
