The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12

Unsuccessful from UWS...

It was my 2nd choice

Ok I always promised myself that I'd never make a post like this but here goes.

I applied to York for History along with other Universities back in late September and I'm still waiting to hear from them over 5 months later.

They are the last place to get back to me but I think that I got an offer from them i'd definitely take it, I've also already had two rejections and don't want a third!

But if I'm waiting this long to hear from them does it make it more than likely that I will be rejected?

However what makes me wonder is the fact that i'm a post A2 resit student, resitting one paper to bring a B up to an A so I meet entry requirements. My resit result will be coming out pretty soon, could it be possible that they're waiting this long so if I get an A I can send them evidence of it and then they'd give me an offer?

I have no way of knowing this as I haven't had any communication from them since they acknowledged my application.

So basically, advice or reassurance needed. 1) Am I very likely to be rejected? Or do I still have a chance? 2) Should I email their admissions and ask them when I might hear from them? 3) If I get my results back before heraing from them and have an A, should I let them know this? And might this increase my chances of an offer?

Thanks, sorry if this is a bit incoherant. I'm just rather worried at the moment, I desperately want an offer from York!

It's only the start of March.
Lots of people are still waiting to hear back and York are one of the universities constantly cropping up in discussion about waiting for replies.

All you can do is sit it out and wait. Contacting them to ask when you will get a reply isn't going to help you - you'll get a reply when they're ready and it will come any time in the next 2 months.

With regards to your resit, if you get the A you want on Thursday then send them details of the fact you have an A via email. Whether they pay any attention to it is another matter, but given its a new result you can forward it onto them. However, you don't need to contact them just to ask when you'll get a reply.

If you really want an offer definitely hold on! It could be that they are waiting for your resit result so they can make your offer unconditional.
I have a similar dilemma with Bristol Law except I have already exceeded the requirements and am not sure whether I'd want to go there anyway. I don't really want to withdraw but it's stopping me from making my choice elsewhere and applying for accommodation.
I've been waiting since October too and it's so frustrating!
Hang on in there though, I think in your case it's definitely worth it.
Also, have you called admissions? It hasn't proved useful for me but maybe you'll be more lucky!

150 days ago I sent off my application, today no offers no rejections... arghhhhh!!!!

Hi, has anyone had an interview for Bioveterinary science with veterinary nursing at Bristol?

No, but I was unsuccesful for that one

I am waiting for UWE for vet nursing. They have interviewed other people, but I have heard nothing at all
