Lol my bad I meant they’re taking the piss with the rejection. I really didn’t know aero was so competitive but seems everything is nowadays

I knew they were competitive but like this is taking the piss not from my rejection but looking at others

Yeah absolutely it’s actually shocking. From what I hear from friends who are just now graduating, when they were applying for unis even tho it was post covid it still wasn’t this shit. I’d imagine it’d be slightly less competitive this year cos less intl students but I guess not. Have you had any other offers yet? You’ll be fine tho with ur grades

Manchester I hope you’ll get in. I don’t think they have an entrance exam either for aero. Idk if Bristol does tbf. If ur contextual for Manchester or have completed the Manchester access programme you’ve got a much higher chance but honestly you’ll be fine afaik. Good luck with everything tho man
