Will try to keep this as brief as possible. DS1 has applied for 5 courses at 4 different Uni’s. The Uni he really wants, he has applied for 2 courses but really is only likely to want to do one of them. Don’t ask me why he did it like that, he applied early under pressure from 6th form and he is now doubting all his choices.
He currently has offers from Birmingham of ABB (predicted AAA), Surrey (BBB) and UEA (for ABB) but it’s not exactly the course he wants to do but it’s our local Uni.
He really wants Loughborough, it’s Sports Science he’s applying for. Problem is they have said they only take applicants with A A A (said at open day) and he hasn’t heard anything yet. We’ve just had his updated predicted grades after his mocks and they’ve now been updated to A A A so assume with those grades he would get an offer. Trouble is he can’t do anything about it now as the application has been submitted.
He wants to wait until he heard from Loughborough and then if there is no offer, reject the lot and apply for a completely different course on UCAS extra.
Im trying to convince him to go for Birmingham but was very underwhelmed at the Open Day, they are surrounded by top tier football clubs yet they have no direct links and don’t do a placement year which seems crazy for a Sports Science degree.
Is that a really ridiculous idea? I think he is just wobbling about the whole thing, he wants Loughborough and I’m not sure anything else will be right!
