My DD has just been rejected from maths at Oxford post interview and is taking it really hard- much harder than I was expecting.
We have a lot to unpick about this but on a practical level I realised that she hadn’t really thought past the maths degree itself , just that she likes maths and people tell her it is a useful degree.. she was aiming for maths at Oxford and then presumed life would sort itself out from there.
She has offers from Edinburgh/ York /Bath and is waiting to hear from Warwick if anyone has direct experience of those unis? . I’m hoping to help her put this all into a perspective over the next few weeks - info about your experience of maths as a degree and then what it lead to would be really helpful . She is state school educated in a rural part of the country so we have zero contact with big finance companies etc and I don’t really know enough to talk confidentially about what uni/ work in the maths sphere might look like.
