Have an enormous amount to do over the next few days. UCAS deadline ideally January 15th. Am damn well going to apply - I can withdraw at any time if I have a wibble later.

Anyone know if there is a way to find out how popular/over-subscribed particular degree courses are?

Back at work today, all going well. Minor post-Christmas financial crisis in progress. Have nasty cough.

TOO MUCH TO DO.

Good luck! Fraid I am not much help with the popular courses.

Phone up UCAS. They will readily tell you which courses are over subscribed

I've just sent you the measurements. And have said (and will say again), that if making the tabards proves too stressful then please don't worry about them. They're not essential and we like Lucys to be happy and as relaxed as is possible.

It would've been fine if I hadn't remembered about UCAS! I'm writing complex emails to university officials...

I think I will manage the tabards. Will text you if I have to give up on them.

From what I can remember from when I used to work clearing at aston the most popular courses were optometry and pharmacy and the least popular were logistics and transport management! But not sure if any of those are relevant to you :)

And out how popular/over-subscribed particular degree courses are?

This years clearing lists, as published in the broadsheet newpapers, should give you a pretty clear idea.

I should've been clearer - I wanted to find out ASAP how likely it is that if I apply after January 15th (say, a week after) they will have filled all their places for English at Reading. I don't think I can discover this except by asking them, but I don't want to give the impression I'm going to be dilatory about applying.

Right. Yes, for something as specific as that, the only answer has to be "ask them".

Ask the department directly, and if there's an Academic Affairs (or similar) post at the Student Union, ask them too. You get different perspectives from the SU side, which might be worth considering. :)

Good luck with the UCAS form, and hope you don't feel too tired after the histories!
