You apply for a subject at a University (or at 'collegiate' universities, you choose a college there as well) and then they give you an offer but they can reassign you to a different subject if, say, they have loads of brilliant students for history but you're one of the best for french, they can offer you french (or as they did in my case, french and another language). So I can't just say, "no, I want History", unfortunately. 

Yeah, they're really over subscribed though. The options are pretty much to accept and hope I can convert when I go, to turn down the offer and apply again next year (I'm taking a gap year anyway) or to turn down the offer and accept one of the offers I've been given from other unis. But I think you're right that I should stick to History, thanks for reaffirming that for me! :)

Haha, aw, thank you.
