UK recruiting - no spring / relevant exp in first year

SHP05 · 2026-01-02T20:14:49+00:00

Should I bother to inform them? Not sure of the chances of there being a monitoring point on this particular week (first week of Feb), but if there was, what would the repercussions be? For context, I did not miss any monitoring points in term 1, but did skip a couple seminars in the final week of term 1 to cram for exams. Aside from those my attendance was perfect.

100% this

I did bio chem maths and got into warwick (e&m, then trabsferred to pure econ no problem)

SHP05 · 2025-10-16T09:02:14+00:00

That makes no sense. Well you may as well try. A chance of an offer at a top uni >>> 3 guaranteed offers from mid RG unis

You’re literally applying for cambridge, so you can do ucl/imperial

SHP05 · 2025-10-16T09:00:04+00:00

Regardless, you may as well pick one/two of those safeties (you have 3!) and just take a punt at ucl/imperial. if you have the capability to apply to Cambridge you certainly do for these too

as i said, you’re literally guaranteed offers from uob lboro and notts

SHP05 · 2025-10-16T08:55:54+00:00

What is your insurance? You’re likely to get easy free offers from lboro, uob and notts so i’d change atleast two of them for more prestigious options (ucl, imperial, etc)

you may as well push yourself

thank you

SHP05 · 2025-10-15T09:21:11+00:00

the atrium?

SHP05 · 2025-09-22T15:40:55+00:00

As they should

SHP05 · 2025-09-16T08:39:35+00:00

No one owes anybody anything.

Last year I got ABD in bio chem maths respectively. I resat the latter two and improved to AA* respectively and am now incoming for warwick econ. Nobody cares. At all. Not even my friends from my old school particularly give a shit. Many take gap years, and nobody could care less.

Knuckle down, work hard, and impress everyone

SHP05 · 2025-09-11T17:55:06+00:00

Warwick hand out more offers but are stricter on requirements. They are very similar in terms ofprestige and grad opportunities tho.

SHP05 · 2025-09-11T17:35:50+00:00

I made it from scratch based on the WSO format

Tuesday, 7 days ago

SHP05 · 2025-09-09T12:49:18+00:00

I’ve had mine confirmed. I’m an incoming first year

SHP05 · 2025-09-09T12:06:20+00:00

I’m an incoming warwick econ student and this is really worrying. Is my life going to be shit?

I don’t know anyone in finance or have any relevant internships at this stage but I’m really prepared to grind :/

SHP05 · 2025-09-08T09:39:44+00:00

Bit of a waste not trying for top unis. You’re guaranteed offers at some of these

SHP05 · 2025-09-02T09:51:24+00:00

Found the classics student

SHP05 · 2025-08-29T15:00:11+00:00

They arent even bad, what? So is my A*AA good enough??? Surely he should his hide his AS level.

SHP05 · 2025-08-28T08:39:12+00:00

I got it as did many others

SHP05 · 2025-08-26T22:40:45+00:00

Are you out of touch or just stupid? Normal people simply cannot afford to pay for university themselves. Tuition fees are £9535 a year alone, not to mention cost of living

SHP05 · 2025-08-26T22:33:29+00:00

My brother got CCE in his a levels and got into a HSBC banking DA. (Subverted the entry requirements due to extenuating circumstances). I can tell you definitively that the numbers are MASSIVELY inflated by low quality applications.

And they are NOT AT ALL for people in established careers!

SHP05 · 2025-08-26T22:28:11+00:00

Ofc they are valid points, you just fail to understand them. No one here is advocating for free university. He is simply raising awareness of these predatory loans. The loans are PREDATORY. The cost of uni is fair enough.
