But Teeside is a hell of a university by the looks of it.
I have heard back from all 5 off my offers:
Southampton Solent: Conditional <= Accepted
Lancaster:Conditional <= This is my Insurance
Bucks New University:Declined me
Birmingham City University- Declined me
Cardiff university: declined me cos they dont accept BTEC's :/
so looks like I am going to go to Southampton Solent University in September :-) anybody else going there if so do reply below :P P.S I am going to do criminology.
I logged on specifically because you said Cardiff don't accept BTECs... WHAT? There is nothing wrong with them.
I'm already at uni, but well done on your offers. Though those saying they didn't bother going to an interview because it wasn't their preferred choices, personally I think ya silly and should get yourself as close to those 5 offers as you can but hopefully you'll get where you want to go.
Finally got my last reply in from Edinburgh uni and this is the final result of endless UCAS track checking for the past 4 months!
University of Stirling - Unconditional
Edinburgh Napier University - Unconditional
Queen Margaret Uni, Edinburgh - Unconditional
Edinburgh Heriot-Watt University - Conditional (wanted a B in Higher Maths)
Edinburgh University - Conditional (wanted 2 Higher A's).
My conditional for Edinburgh was unachievable (only sitting 1 higher this year now after dropping higher maths) so I accepted my unconditional from Queen Margaret! I'm so excited for going!
Dundee - Applied Computing - Unconditional - Insurance
Dundee - Computer Science - Conditional (B pass) - Firm
Edinburgh - Computer Science - Rejected :'(
Edinburgh Napier - Computing (2nd year) - Conditional (A Pass) - Declined
Glasgow - Computer Science - Conditional (B pass) - Declined
Not too bothered in the end, really excited to go to Dundee now. Just waiting on my flat being sorted and then I can get moved out :)
Oxford Brookes - Conditional - Firm
Plymouth University - Conditional - Insurance
Nottingham Trent University - Conditional - Declined
Lancaster University - Conditional - Declined (Grades far too high for me to be realistic so wasn't worth putting as firm)
Aberystwyth University - Conditional - Declined
All for Accounting and Finance
Just submitted my accommodation for brookes as well :D
Just got conditionals for 2 of them
Does anyone know if it allowed for a University to offer you a conditional for more UCAS points than it says in the course details on ucas / site?
Just it tells me 240-280 on the site, put my predicted grades down as DDD and now they're saying the conditional is only if I get 360 :S Fair do's I can get it, but they state they're equal on their website. And other students are getting conditional offers on the same courses for less points.
Yeh it is, sounds like because of the way it's been done, that they have a lot of spaces and they accepted you just to fill them (unis are known to do that sometimes). Though they don't expect you to get in so they decide to push up the grades.Quote:

all depends on your predictions and AS aswell. you do better at AS then they tend to want you more so they lower your offer and vice versa
what were lancaster offering? last year they wanted me to get AAB (As in maths and economics), then i said well thats impossible cus i cant get my economics up to an A (couldnt resit, was on the old courses), so they said ABB would be fine, and then i asked about the A being in general studies and they said they couldnt guarantee but it shouldntve been a problem.Quote:

It Was ABB cause it was accounting finance and mathematics. if i wanted to do just accounting and finance i was gonna need AAB. not gonna get those grades! was really surprised when i got my offer as my AS level grades weren't that highQuote:

Anyone know if its worth contacting the Uni to ask about possible drop outs etc?
My firm choice is Lancaster and my reasurance choiceis Sussex
No harm with getting in contact in my opinion!Quote:
