Great news @catmomof3. Fantastic to get to a stage where you can now think about firm and insurance.

Umbilicate · 15/01/2024 21:42

Just posted by mistake on the wrong thread to say congratulations @catmomof3 . DC3 hopefully off to UCL too if they get the grades. Fabulous place

Bristol offer holders day email finally arrived :)

MirandaWest · 16/01/2024 15:38

I wonder if DD has heard anything as she’s waiting for Bristol offer holders day too

Rollergirl11 · 16/01/2024 15:50

Late to the party here but huge congrats to your DD @catmomof3 on her skipping interview and going straight to offer! They must have been really impressed with her application. You must be very proud!

Congratulations to your DD @WriterOfWrongs, I'm glad to hear good things about Birmingham as it's one of our offers here too and I don't know the city or uni at all. DD applied for a couple based on course content alone without having visited so the offer holder day will be our first time there. Almost all booked in now, just Manchester to go 😊

DD’s just booked the offer holders day too. She went to an open day there but I didn’t, so I’m looking forward to visiting the university and town at the open day.

What subject has your DD applied for at Birmingham? Feel free to PM if you’d rather.
Mine is doing Politics & International Relations.

WriterOfWrongs · 16/01/2024 16:37

*looking forward to… the OFFER day.

I don't mind sharing at all DD has applied for Geology at Bham, Leeds and Cardiff, Geology and Paleontology at Leicester and Earth with Planetary Science at Manchester (which by all accounts is Geology by another name). She'd originally been looking at Environmental Science but changed to Geology last autumn which is how we missed the opportunity for open days in some places. Leeds was first choice but trying to keep an open mind for those we haven't seen, the only offer day now is Manchester but as we're only 1/2 hour away and my office is there we know it well anyway 😊.
@catmomof3 congrats on the UCL offer 🎉

@Headingto18 DD’s arrived today too. All booked in and looking forward to it.

Blushingm · 17/01/2024 06:32

Dd submitted on Monday, has had an offer from university of law but is waiting for Cardiff, Bristol, keele and Plymouth

Blushingm · 17/01/2024 06:35

She's expecting a contextual offer from Cardiff as she did their 2 year pathways course over years 12 & 13

LuluMorris · 17/01/2024 07:30

Congratulations on some fantastic offers 👏🏻

DS received an offer from Bath yesterday for economics. He is thrilled as he didn't expect to hear for some time yet. A really achievable one too. A*AA, AAAB or AABB.

Comefromaway · 17/01/2024 09:43

Dd had an email yesterday from LJMU asking her to upload copies of her A level certificates and her dance/theatre qualifications. (She has Intermediate & Advanced 1 dance exams plus a level 6 musical theatre diploma).

She does have enough UCAS points from her 2 A levels for their degree with foundation year but not for the 3 year degree (plus no science A levels) .

Another unconditional in for my son. Still waiting for 3 more responses

Neuroscience here

Headingto18 · 18/01/2024 09:53

Spanish with another subject (bit outing)

TitaniasAss · 18/01/2024 11:00

DD's final offer in from Warwick now. She's decided that it's probably not going to be her firm or insurance (heart set on UEA), but it's given her confidence a real boost.

listsandbudgets · 18/01/2024 12:44

still radio silence from Bath and Liverpool.. wish they'd tell her ine way ir the other.

I think DD is swerving towards Nottingham. Has anyone any experience?

No experience but it's one my DD is considering firming and we're booked into the offer holders day. Is your DD going to do one?

QueenMabby · 18/01/2024 13:08

Nothing to say about Nottingham but we are still waiting for Bath too.

listsandbudgets · 18/01/2024 13:19

@WriterOfWrongs Yes I believe March 2nd though need to check.
