Have a look here! I haven't actually read throught that myself because there's no reason for me to, but I'm pretty much certain that you will be applying through UCAS like everyone in the UK does, and they will have all the info you need.

your offer was SS? god, either they changed how they marked those exams or getting in to do maths must be a ton harder then last year.
All courses were way harded to get on this year because nobody is taking gap years or anything because anyone who does has to pay the 9k not the 3k a year.

Off to Warwick :D if anyone else is going please shout! Will hopefully find the odd hour between work and play to go satisfy my nerdy sc2 needs
Congratulations to everyone else who got what they wanted :D and I hope everything works out well for those who didn't
I'm planning on applying to Warwick this year for engineering, mind if I ask what subject that was for (I'm guessing maths?) and what your offer was? Don't think I can get in if I need A*A*AA haha.

A Maths, A further maths, A chemistry, A physics, B computing.
I got full marks in chemistry and physics so I was happy with that, and the computing was completely self taught so a B is good as far as I'm concerned .
But my maths scores were a little too low for me , 2 97, and 2 low 90's .
Before you think i'm insane i'm going for cambridge so anything low is bad .
Fuck me dem results. Its a bit late now but id advise anyone going for a uni place to look at their interview technique. I got offered a place at 5 unis for AAB. I got BBC and had to interview for 4/5 unis because they were oversubscribed. I got offered a place at all of them despite being like 60 ucas points under the entrence level for all of them, and them being over subscribed. Seriously, work on the interview technique, if you dont use it now, itll help bucket loads when the time to get a job rolls round, which happens much soooner than you would think.
your offer was SS? god, either they changed how they marked those exams or getting in to do maths must be a ton harder then last year.

I'm at emmanuel for medicine
It seems the standard offer for Mathematics this year was 1/1, but looking around I noticed that international students generally needed one grade higher, and Trinity College students another grade higher.
I got pooled and accepted into Sidney Sussex College for Mathematics, btw.
I applied to UK for graduate school in Econ from the US this past year and got a conditional offer dependent upon top grades in Real Analysis and Algebraic Topology, two classes well above the required coursework for an Econ/Math undergraduate degree. Gave me the most stressful spring senior semester ever. I feel for a lot of you guys in this thread, best of luck with interviews and maybe I'll see some of you around

+ Congratulations!
You have such an awesome nerd name :') Maths needed an A* in maths and A* in Further Maths! I'm doing physics, just cos it should be more varied and interesting to study for 4+ years should be virtually all maths anyway Requirements for Maths were AAA but were dropped to AAB if you took further maths, because of its difficulty and how much they value the subject! Go for Warwick, it's one sexy place :D and good luck with your A Levels!

top tip - if you ever need to use a computer on campus, the room behind chemistry/ramphal building is NEVER full compared to library etc. also the pinball machine in the dirty duck is my second favourite ever
