Archaeology & Anthropology. Oxford is AAA, Durham BBB, the other are points which equate to about four D's. |

Heh quite varied offers eh  Whats your first choice? Oxford I guess?I'm in the L6th atm, so I guess the year under you, and tbh the idea of university and choosing a career scares me shitless. I'm doing the ib though, so any time I'm not working I'm probably playing tf2, so I can avoid thinking about it haha. Procrastination ftw. |

Well, you can apply to up to five about a year and half before you go. You send your grades and stuff, and sometimes there's an interview. Then you either get rejected or they'll send you an offer conditional on getting certain A-Level grades (which are two-year courses, at the end of high-school, and are optional - most people do three or four). You can then accept two offers, a firm and an insurance. When you get your grades, if you can, you go to one of them. If not there's another system.

Congrats mate, I got an offer from Oxford when I was doing my UCAS as well, but I turned them down and went to Bristol, based on the fact that when I went for my interview all the people I met were toffs....hahaha  They weren't best pleased with me

I know what you mean, I didn't like it very much when I went to my interview either... far too many posh southerners. So I'm going to go up to Durham next month before I make my mind up.

speaking as a posh southerner () id have loved to have gone to ox or cambs. That said Id highly recommend Cardiff to all you potential undergrads out there. Cardiff was so good a place to live that i was sharing a house with two guys who went to university in Swansea and latre one who was at Newport. Its gotta be a pretty good place to live when students at university in another city or town want to live in cardiff. (an no there arent any sheep walking in the streets before anyone asks) |

Bristol does indeed Rock.. would avoid any such place whilst at uni.. student unions are distracting enough without living in party town! (I flunked out of uni after 2 years & wasted an unconditional offer! mind you the IT they were trying to teach was complete BS) Good Luck Mega! |

*posh southerner here* I think I may apply to oxbridge, over 1/5 of pupils from my school go there... but I'm not sure I want the workload. Durham, warwick, lse, and nottingham sound quite good |
