University Applicants 2012

[Mathew]

Hello!

UCAS have received my application today and it's being forwarded to my five choices within the next 48 hours.... yay!
I've applied for BA English Language at:

• University of Leeds (AAB)
• Newcastle University (AAB)
• Lancaster University (AAA-AAB)
• University of Birmingham (AAB)
• University of Sussex (AAA-AAB)

My AS grades were AAABC and my predicted grades are A*AAAB.

Now, the waiting game begins..
Anyone else applying to university for 2012 entry?

All good universities mate, Lancaster is a cracking Uni to go to, their campus is something special, you went on any open days yet?

[Rozi]

I'm going to apply this year but if I don't get the grades I want I'll re-apply next year.

I'm applying for Criminology and Sociology. I still need to decide on a insurance and I need to get my history teacher to change my predicted grade - a C is fairly ridiculous.


My choices are:

Kent (Canterbury) - ABB
Lancaster - ABB
Surrey - ABB/BBB
Cardiff - ABB

[Andeeh]

Haven't sorted it out yet, not to sure if I want to go and if I do im taking a year out before. So far I only choose Uni of Brighton for Media needing BBB to get in. Predicted BBC but have an a/s and another one coming at the end of this year and therefore should be enough on the UCAS tariff.

[clueless]

My choices are

York
Royal Holloway
Sheffield Hallam
Westminster
Staffordshire

for film & tv production/media arts

top choice by far is York I love it! I'm on a gap year so already have my grades which is a BTEC in art & design and i got DDD so hopefully it'll be unconditional offers (and not rejections )

Cheers! I've been to two Leeds open days; once to look at everything, and then I went back a couple of weeks ago to check out the Studying Abroad and Accommodation. I went up for the Newcastle open day too. Leeds and Newcastle are probably the ones that I'm most interested in, so I really don't know which I'm going to put for my firm! Then again, if I do get an offer from Lancaster then it would be silly to reject it.... oh dear.. decisions!

I mentioned Studying Abroad... I've been looking into it at the different universities and I think it's something I'd strongly consider. I could extend my degree by a year at Leeds and spend the 3rd year out in the USA, studying for "BA English Language (International)"... then returning in the 4th year to complete my original degree. I think it would be fantastic both on a personal development level, as well as adding to one's CV.

Sociology, yay!
I looked at Surrey, Kent and Cardiff for English (the latter two were on my short-list actually) but turned them down for some reason. I found that most of the places I looked at either did English Literature or just English; I just had to be picky and kept looking for Language!

Planning on doing some travelling in the gap year?

Good luck! York is a beautiful university and it would have probably been firm / insurance if they did English Language alone rather than English Language & Linguistics. I went to speak to Paul Foulkes (Professor) and Dominic Watt (Senior Lecturer) back in the summer who are currently in the Linguistics department at the University of York. The whole campus is just so green and the lake in the middle makes it so serene!

Yeah I loved York, not just the campus but the city too is lovely. Their film facilities are mindblowing as well it's like a film studio lol, I'll be really really upset if I don't get in not gonna lie

I see you are applying to Leeds as well, I went to their open day! I loved the city and the campus it was perfect however the course wasn't ideal for me so I was gutted that I didn't like that aspect of it because the rest was fantastic!

[Nemo]

Gonna apply for computer science or software engineering at

Leeds
Sheffield
newcastle
Kent
Reading


I haven't sent it off yet so i might change em. Predicted grades are A*AC so hopefully i'll get into these lot.

[AgnesIO]

Not going to Uni until 2013, but look at Durham and Hull at the moment

Planning on doing some travelling in the gap year?

Not to sure at the moment, I really want to get some experience working in Media, but wouldn't mind a bit of travelling if I can afford
