Hoping for some advice please as new to this! DD has applied for marine biology and has 5 offers. Until the offers arrived Newcastle was her favourite but she has now received an unconditional offer from Portsmouth. She is very excited about this and did like Portsmouth but she has to accept it as her firm choice in order to secure it. She would also be entitled to a scholarship worth £1,000, assuming she achieves her predicted grades of AAB. If she accepts it as her insurance choice the conditional offer is BBC. The offer from Newcastle is BBB if it’s her firm choice and ABB if it’s her insurance choice. We live in Bristol if that makes any difference and DD is at a state school. I think Newcastle has a better reputation than Portsmouth but she is so excited about the unconditional offer. I’m not sure she will listen to me but would love to hear other people’s recommendations in this situation please. Thanks.
