Exeter admissions

[breeze77]

Hi all, we went along to the Exeter open day yesterday and absolutely loved it! It’s jumped straight to the top of the list. However we are a bit confused about how offers are made in a competitive uni like this.
The expected grades listed on the website for DDs subject are AAB. If she has this or higher in predictive grades, will she get an offer? They didn’t seem too bothered about anything other than grades in the admissions talk we went to. They talked about how they teir the applications into grade groups (3 a stars followed by 2 a stars and an a, etc). Am I correct in thinking that they then work down this list until all their places have been offered? So predicted grades of AAB might not be enough if there are lots of applicants with A stars?
We should have gone to speak to them about how it works but the day was so full that we completely ran out of time.
Thank you!

@Rollergirl11 which accommodation would she choose? My husband and I didn’t like old Lafrowder because of the very narrow brick corridors and rabbit warren feel. But the others we saw looked fab.

And I probably should add, parents that are willing to let their children choose.

Can you tell i spend too much of my time banging my head against those particular brick walls?

Anything with MFL will be most unpopular with students.

@jgw1 you've made a series of absolute assertions as if they are accepted fact - what's your evidence and/or authority for your definitive assertions?

(I know for certain from my own daily employment some of what you is not as black & white as your posts suggest).

By way of illustration, 92% of applicants to English with a modern foreign language are made an offer at KCL.

I only pick KCL because it is one of 3 unis that, that particular website has the information for that course for.

And at my place, the number of humanities students who opt to do a series of MFL modules as part of their degree is growing, as are business with MFL programmes ...

@breeze77 is old Lofrowda the shared accommodation with shared bathrooms? We didn’t look at that. We looked at new Lafrowda and Rowe House. She really liked Lafrowda and apparently it’s party central which is a bit of DD. She’s also looked at East Park on the website and that looks lovely and modern.
