DD had an offer from Bath yesterday. Still waiting for Warwick, but she's 99% decided that she'll firm Bath with Exeter as insurance.

That’s great Poblano. Congratulations to your DD! My DD has just decided to form with Bath too. Which course is your DD?

She's applied to study BSc Politics & International Relations at Bath. How about your DD @RedSeaQuestion?

Same here ☺️

my dad is doing International Politics with Spanish. I really, really hope she gets the grades as her mocks were not good! Are you both going to the offer holders day? I can’t but DD is excited to see Bath again and look at which Halls to choose.

RedSeaQuestion · 10/03/2024 08:09

That is a major typo. It was meant to read “my DD” not “my dad”!

Joolseye · 10/03/2024 08:21

Morning, congrats to all. Looks like they'll all be in classes together, my dd is 99% sure she'll pick Bath for 4 year politics and international relations. Sadly we can't make the offer holder day though, it would be great to hear your thoughts! Incidentally Edinburgh made an offer to my dd's friend this week (international relations and sociology) but we're still waiting.

Congrats to those who received Bath offers. Great to be in a position to be choosing firm and insurance choices too.

DS is going to go to an offer holders day for Leeds in April. Anyone else going?

Poblano · 12/03/2024 18:28

We're not going to Bath offer holder day. We went to the open day and that was enough to convince her to firm it.

We are going to the Exeter offer holder day this weekend though as we didn't do the open day.

Any news from Edinburgh or St Andrews? I would love to think “no news is good news”, but I suspect not.

DS knows someone with a St Andrews offer.

Joolseye · 13/03/2024 16:57

@zigzag716746zigzag not yet from Edinburgh. One of our friends got an offer last week but she is an international student (higher intake, lower grade threshold)

GuestWW · 19/03/2024 11:42

Anyone at Bath for the open day this weekend? Still waiting on Bristol.

Tenpastseven · 19/03/2024 14:45

Nope, Bath not on our list (nor is Edinburgh @zigzag716746zigzag ) but yup, still waiting on Bristol. Have they made any offers yet do people know? I imagine my DS will be in the last tranche of offers if at all....

RedSeaQuestion · 19/03/2024 20:20

My daughter will be there @GuestWW . She is 100% she will firm Bath but is going anyway.

Smartysmitty · 24/03/2024 08:29

STILL waiting for Glasgow and St Andrews here. Anyone else made better progress with offers?

zigzag716746zigzag · 24/03/2024 08:42

Rejection from St Andrews ☹️. He took it pretty hard. Almost certain that Edinburgh will be a rejection too, so I wish they would just put him out of his misery.

Smartysmitty · 24/03/2024 08:56

Oh I'm sorry zigzag716746zigzag. Fingers crossed for Edinburgh.

Poblano · 24/03/2024 12:38

Oh I'm sorry @zigzag716746zigzag. Hopefully Edinburgh will offer soon.

Joolseye · 24/03/2024 15:49

Sorry too @zigzag716746zigzag . If it’s any consolation we’re still waiting on Edinburgh and Bristol

Calmmumnot · 24/03/2024 16:37

@zigzag716746zigzag so sorry to hear! Difficult to see our children miserable!

Thank you. I think what he is finding difficult is that the kid he tutors got an offer, but not him. But he’s coming around to the idea that it was just not meant to be.

Tenpastseven · 24/03/2024 21:21

Ah sorry to hear it @zigzag716746zigzag . Big hugs.

zigzag716746zigzag · 24/03/2024 21:35

Thanks. He’ll be fine though 😊 He’s still got Aberdeen!

Did she enjoy it? Also DD's firm now, Exeter on same grades will be insurance despite requiring same grades.

RedSeaQuestion · 25/03/2024 20:56

@GuestWW she loved it. Ahe chose halls too. She has Leeds as her insurance despite it being the same grades. All her offers were identical grades.
