The deadline is Monday!
Today I sent mine through the merry land of intranets towards whichever kind soul happens to read it; theoretical physics at durham, nottingham, manchester, sheffield, st andrews or sussex(!), or perhaps none, depending on how the wind flies.
Where have you budding medicine men, scientists and general layabouts applied to, and for that matter, what have you applied to do! Do you hope to be a billionaire media mogul, or perhaps a lowly painter - Whatever your poison, I wish you to exclaim it so that I may mock you with my superior intellect and theorising skills!

mechanical engineering @ leeds uni BBC
electronic engineering @ sheffield ABB
Also applied for Nottingham and Liverpool.
I'd have liked to theoretical physics, it seems my kind of subject. I suppose you've seen this website - http://www.tenthdimension.com/flash2.php
You'd get a nice semiconductors course in the very first semester, so you should be prepared for some physics. It's said to be the hardest in the whole year (and I kinda agree).
I've still kept this from the first time I went to University: http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/838/omgrv3.jpg
:P
so far got 3 replies where as others have all 6 ;(
oh and my 6 are; Lincoln, Bournemouth, Christchurch Canterbury, Kent, Aberdeen and Northumbria. All are for Computing except Kent's is something similar but more heavily based around the internet
Should have known you'd be doing computer related studies, you little hacker you ;oP!
Computer Games Technology @ Paisley
Some other course similar @ Caley
Applied to do physics at:
Bath
Manchester
Liverpool
Birmingham
Bristol
Salford
I've got 3 offers (AAB at Liverpool + Birmingham and BBB at salford). As well as an interview type thing at Manchester.
Applied to do English Language and Linguistcs and got offers from Sheffield and Manchester, 3 rejections because i stupidly thought courses that stated AAB would consider an ABB student and still awaiting on a response from Edinburgh (first choice atm).
Why anyone would want to do Physics is beyond me, dropped that after an awful year at AS (got a C but it's just so shit).
Physics is just more definite than anything else out there, you can't argue with an equation and results which correlate to empirical evidence; you can, however, argue forever about the correct interpretation of "War and Peace" - Unless you go and ask the author and realise they were just stoned at the time.
