re-applying

**House Jr.** · 25-09-2009, 02:38 AM

i'm a bit confused about birmingham's policy on re-applicants. if you didn't get any offers one year and birmingham was on your list, will they consider you if you tak a gap year and apply for birmingham again? I heard that they don't but i really don't understand why they would do that

Officially it's 5A*s with AAA, but I guess it depends on the standard of the other applicants and the rest of your application (they look for extra-curricular achievements in particular).
This is what I've found out from the prospectus and open day anyway!

YES! I'm in my first year at Bham and I'm a reapplicant! Applied to Bham the first time round, was rejected by all my choices, reapplied the next year and got in! Definitely worth it. if you've got the grades and work experience, you've got a massive advantage over the other applicants with unknown grades. Good luck!
