| Why? I didn't learn c 3 and 4 until after Christmas, so I'm sure they wouldn't have held it against me had I applied for maths!

Should have said C1 and C2 really. C3 and C4 would help greatly though, especially as they could ask complex differentiation/integration questions.

Depends on the person really, I really wanted to go there and only afterwards I realised how under prepared I was (not all my fault  ).

To the guy that asked about Warwick:
Definately my favourite of the campus' I've looked at so far (being Bath, Southampton, Manchester, Warwick).
Lots of wide open grassy areas, looks quite sports orientated. Maths block looks completely new and second-to-none. Campus looks like bliss for a student - perfectly orientated for them.
Warwick offers (for maths):
AAAA
AABB (with merit in AEA)
AAA (with merit in AEA)
Jonno:
Manchester does look amazing as well - in the middle of the city, the new maths block looks like it could be something special and with £600M of new development it could be the time to be there.

Oh and just got an offer from Bath!
AAB with further maths.
Also they said I would most likely get in if my other subject was a grade lower with a merit in AEA Maths, i.e. ABB or AAC.

If anyone thinking of coming to Warwick has any questions about the campus etc, I'm currently dong my masters there (after just finishing my undergrad here as well), so feel free to ask.

| Don't expect to spend much time in the new maths building in Manchester. The new 'purpose-built' building is shared with Photon Science & Astronomy, has no lecture rooms big enough for the 1st or 2nd years and even some of my lectures(3rd year) can barely fit in them. Plus only 3 of my 5 modules have lectures in there...
Add to that the fact that all of the money in Manchester is spent on research, so even though it is top 5/10 in the country and top 40 in the world for research(in general, not maths) it is sliding down the rankings for undergrad studies. When I joined it was about 20th in the rankings for UG, it is now almost 30th.
