    Well done... I remember I had to wait 6 and a half months before I got all 6 replies!

    Manchester came within two weeks; Leeds took from the beginning of October to mid-April!

    Well my application was processed on 28th November, I'm surprised they all cam back to me this quickly. Unis were Leicester, Nottingham Trent, Oxford Brookes, Portsmouth, Reading and Sheffield Hallam. Hark at me with all the ex-polytechnics there. Oh well, I'm probably off to either Leicester or Reading anyway.

    Notts Trent is supposed to be quite good, and Oxford Brookes has a fantastic reputation as an up-and-coming uni, plus you get to put "Oxford" on your CV.

    But of course, I'd never actually admit that. Merely passing on what I've heard. *snob*

    I only applied for five unis for some bizarre reason! :eek2:

    I got all my offers back before christmas though which was good and my initial top choice, Edinburgh, wanted BBB which was even better!

    I'd stuck down Durham as a "filler choice" but then got an offer (ABB) and was told how much prestige the place was meant to have. I went over last week to check it out and its Anthropology dept. looks really good and the city itself is cool so I'll probably make that my first choice and Edinburgh my insurance.

    Got a conditional offer off Lincoln, they only want 220 points and don't want maths GCSE at C or above.

    However, that's to do criminology with social policy when I'd prefer to do it with sociology. Hmm :rolleyes:

    I have 5 at the moment - waiting on Birmingham. My top choice will probably be Sheffield, and Warwick my insurance. I need BBB or ABC which is essentially the same thing, so i'll just hope to get those!

    Well, yes, obviously, but you've still got *Oxford* on your CV. You make that in nice big letters, and the Brookes part in infintisemly small letters, and you can be deceptive.

    :yeees: I wasn't really being serious.

    Right, I've got a conditional offer off Staffordshire Uni to do crime, deviance, society and sociology. It's like...just the right combination of subjects. Thing is, I went to look around but wasn't very impressed. I didn't go on a Campus Tour, but I was just really not impressed. Plus it's about 2-3 hours drive away.

    Not sure why I'm posting this, but umm...:mad:

    Please excuse the stupidity there. It's just I know a couple of people who have studied at Brookes, then taken their modules at Oxford University-therefore technically got an Oxford degree, not a Brookes one. Which is always worth considering :chin:

    I've got offers from everywhere from the universities in the post, but Southampton's still hasn't come up on the website. At least I've got them all I suppose, but the time delay in getting it official is so annoying!

    Yeh, I thought I'd apply for as many as I could so I applied for 6.

    I applied for SHU 3 times, and I've got 5 offers out of 6. The annoying thing is, I'm waiting for Hull to reply and I don't even want to go there. I just wanted to fill the space. You see I knew that if no where else wanted me, Hull would have me.

    Nah, still a Brookes degree. Gotta appeal to the lowest common denominator and all that. ;)
