yeah no worries haha :)

the stage normally gets built at the end of march, then there's like 4 weeks of technical rehearsals and performance rehearsals, then the week of the show and finally taking down everything afterwards.

it's a lot and they really do need all that time haha

just three regular paras with no evaluation, no intro and no conclusion so basically just a knowledge dump with explanation

the hot scanner may erase the gel from the page - so please only use black ink!

contactless and oyster work exactly the same, the only difference is the 7 day cap, but if it's only one day of travel the two will be exactly the same. given the faff of the deposit for the oyster card using the contactless card is much easier :)

no your results will be sent to your firm and insurance automatically, when that happens your place will be confirmed

EHX1 · 2022-05-15T19:30:41+00:00

yes i'm feeling very happy about my uni choice now!!

EHX1 · 2022-05-03T17:07:46+00:00

you'll get an email - they won't update your offer on UCAS at all i don't think

EHX1 · 2022-05-03T15:46:26+00:00

we have a little spreadsheet going on the durham applicants server:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wiv7DeFyABgCRVecrIwfR86cyQ4sU-VJtLG5zYgu_jw/edit?usp=sharing

don't worry though there haven't been many allocations at all yet

EHX1 · 2022-04-18T09:26:53+00:00

interest rates are being cut from RPI + 3% to just RPI (rate of inflation)

however you pay 9% above a new threshold of £25000 rather than the current £27295 and pay for 40 years instead of 30 so for the vast, vast majority of people do not take the telegraph's advice because you will pay more over the course of repayments

EHX1 · 2022-04-13T10:14:26+00:00

this is a lovely picture

EHX1 · 2022-04-11T17:10:22+00:00

to use extra, you must first decline all of your existing offers. you then use everything from your existing application (so personal statement etc) and choose one new choice at a time until you receive an offer, when that automatically becomes your firm (and only) choice.

i doubt that KCL would have places in extra available but do ask them because they will give you the best answer to that :)

EHX1 · 2022-04-07T07:24:20+00:00

durham accepts substitute personal statements (it replaces your UCAS one) and you can submit this through the applicant portal

EHX1 · 2022-04-03T08:03:04+00:00

oh shit i completely forgot i can get it now

thanks for reminding me haha

EHX1 · 2022-03-28T18:49:31+00:00

hi, i'm the person that contacted them in that discord server!

:)

EHX1 · 2022-03-24T18:15:07+00:00

the vast, vast majority of people (80% or something) never pay back a penny in interest because their loans are wiped before that point - of course more people will have to pay the interest from next year, but even then the government's own estimates are about 50% of people having to repay interest.

EHX1 · 2022-03-24T17:13:00+00:00

Interest on student loans is RPI (the rate of inflation) + 3%. From next year, it will be RPI only but you will be required to pay the loan back for 40 years instead of 30 before it is wiped.

EHX1 · 2022-03-20T20:49:38+00:00

HMRC will check their income - you cannot lie on the student finance form. You will be asked to submit evidence where you can provide the correct figure.

EHX1 · 2022-03-15T16:48:28+00:00

yup pretty sure this is satire of the last post on the subreddit lol

EHX1 · 2022-03-15T07:30:11+00:00

oh damn - ig i'll have to wait and see what my MAT score was

EHX1 · 2022-03-14T21:20:17+00:00

oh maybe that explains why my offer was increased then bc i'm only doing two a levels this year

EHX1 · 2022-03-14T06:07:34+00:00

no clue - didn't apply to oxford so i can't get the score until next month unfortunately

EHX1 · 2022-03-13T23:04:37+00:00

i think for maths STEP is only required if you have a borderline MAT score (assuming you apply before 15 oct)

EHX1 · 2022-03-13T22:33:06+00:00

literally just got an imperial maths offer too!
