They obviously know a good thing when they see one, having already given me a conditional offer for next year ;D

If I go to Birmingham in the end, it'll be Politics and International Studies.
I've applied for History and Politics at Warwick and Oxford though, and History at Durham and St. Andrews.

Well, done! Did they specify grades in the offer?

ABB, but without wishing to sound really big-headed, that should be safe considering my current standing.

but you already live in Birmingham? shirley you'd want a university as far away from where you live as possible? spend 3/4 years wrecking havoc in that town then quietly return to your home town, a respected graduate  |

I don't think he lives in Shirley - that's the next town along.

I wanted to balance mine so I was far enough away from my mum for comfort, but close enough to Sutton to make it to football every week. I opted for Sussex  Recently, my mum hasn't been so much of a problem, so I went for a London university for my MSc. |

I got a letter yesterday confirming my interview at Balliol College, Oxford from Weds 10th to the Saturday.
Thought I'd mention that as it's relating to this thread.

Yeah, and it would be the two local ones that haven't bothered with the interview as well; Warwick made me an offer today too.
No noise from the north yet.

St. Andrews have given me the cold shoulder.
More gutting than Oxford really because I actually expected some sort of movement from St. Andrews at least.
