I know it sounds like a thread with the simple answer of 'yes', but I haven't even gone to an interview. I applied on Friday and have already received two unconditional offers to study politics and politics with sociology.

My CV is fairly decent, I've got a BTEC National Diploma with D/D/D marks (360 UCAS points) but it's in music and therefore not very political. I've got other graded qualifications in music which again gave me more points, but I've also got two AS levels, one in politics which was a D and one in computing which was an E (maybe I shouldn't admit that here :p) so I have a fair amount of UCAS points. The entry requirement says nothing about an A-Level in politics (one of the reasons I applied for this course).

Obviously being offered a place is good, but I haven't even been asked for an interview or anything. It makes me think that it may not be a course worth spending £20,000 on doing. The university is UWE, so it's not right up there with the big dogs, but it's respectable none the less.

A bit of friendly advice on how to take this would be great! Thank you. :)
 
Yeah, I've still got other options, but this was my first choice because it is (was) the uni I wanted to go to most of all. Mainly because it's in Bristol and only an hour or so away from home (I get very home sick :( :p). But I still have other choices I'm waiting on.

I'm guessing your not currently studying anything (A-levels another BTEC etc), if so then how were you expecting to get a conditional offer? What would it be conditional on? Most uni interviews are only to check your not crazy or whatnot, very few are actually used as a method of determining if your good enough to get it (Oxbridge are those few).
I'm not studying this year, no. I wasn't expecting a conditional offer, but I was at least expecting some sort of challenge in obtaining a place but if what you say about interviews is correct, then maybe I have nothing to worry about. :p
 
Wow, you're making me feel glad I've applied to other unis now. :p I'll wait until I've received (shocking, I know... :() my other offers. I've applied for Cardiff University and Bristol University as well (now)... So fingers crossed. :p
