Interesting, ill be able to come and pick on you Ill be in my 3rd year of Graphic Design at Lincoln and we share studios with creative advertising It's a really cool course, you get some good tutors.

Sorted! I've met the Giles Lingwood fellow and he seems like a top man with enthusiasm in the course so it should be good.

Got 2 offer so far (ABB at Manchester for Economics and AAA at Bristol for Economics & Politics) and just got a letter from Oxford asking me for an interview

As a manchester economics graduate, I wouldn't recommend it (but the social side is AWESOME). Bristol is great (I'm a Pgrad there at the moment).

Gyles is an absolute legend, he gave me my place. He's incredibly enthusiastic and damn good at what he does

Got all my uni offers bar 1 now. Hopefully going to Brighton Uni for Architecture in September. Need 320 points though(thankfully they didn't say from maximum of 3 subjects

)

3 of my courses need 240 points, 2 of them require an interview next week and one of my courses needs only 20 ucas points! That one was just a backup! Basically the same course as the 240 pointer, but with an extra year. Which i find hard to believe, so i will need to verify that.

Arcade Fire · 1 Mar 2007 at 23:18

I thought that it was 100 points for an A at A2 level, but hearing all of these 240+ offers I'm starting to think that I might be wrong.

Kesnel · 1 Mar 2007 at 23:23

It's (or, at least, it was when I applied two years ago) 120 points for an A at A2 and 100 for a B.

aye! 80 for C and as you move down it follows. Then you get your AS grade too which is just half the amount of points so A = 60.

I'm hoping for BBD (and got E at AS) = 280

I only need BDD this year to get 320 points because I've done an Alevel already. Happy Days!

I've got 2 offers so far - Nottingham AAB and Loughborough ABB. Both for electronic and electrical engineering. I was in Bristol today for my interview and I think I pretty much nailed it. I'm actually really excited.

Loughborough is an awesome uni (biased I know!) but yeh, its just awesome

Maxi · 2 Mar 2007 at 10:25

Got and accepted my offer for Aberdeen uni doing Accountancy.

It's conditional on me passing college so i best catch up on my course work!

calnen · 2 Mar 2007 at 10:50

My young lady had an interview for a PGCE (Postgraduate teacher training) at Chester on Wednesday - waiting for the results

pinkacidbootson · 5 Mar 2007 at 19:05

How exactly do you accept/decline offers on Ucas Track? I see no kind of option when looking at mine...

Thanks for that. I went up and stayed with a few mates at Manchester and it's a great night out (though the halls I stayed in - "Cambridge" was around 15 minutes from mosside :eek:

). I got an AAB offer for PPE at Warwick and decided to accept that - on the balance of it I'd rather do a degree that isn't solely based on Economics (not that fond of maths).

Out of interest, why wouldn't you recommend Economics at Manc uni?

Hmm... one of the best universities in the country, or one of the worst. Choices, choices.

Well, UWE isn't that bad. It was more due to the fact bristol is such an awesome place that everyone should go there.

But of course, Bristol Uni stomps UWE

I hope the varsity football on wednesday isn't called off due to rain
