Does anyone know whether they're rejecting in alphabetical order? My friend got a rejection today and his surname begins with an F so fairly early on in the alphabet? I'm an 'M' so might hear tomorrow or the day after if they are doing it this way? Just a thought...

No I highly doubt it. They wouldn't spend ages ranking us from best to worst to then spend more time organising us alphabetically
Rejected. Joining local private university this month. Monash malaysia. At least save 6 months

Also, has anyone NOT been given the offer of applying to other courses? I didn't even get a direct email from the uni, only EUCLID and UCAS.


They gave me the offer of applying to medical sciences.
Christ the quality of rejected applicants is insane
I didn't even apply to Edinburgh, yet the standard of applicants that are getting rejected here is just beyond me.
If offers are sent out tomorrow it is going to sting SO much for me, might have to unfollow this thread now. waaahh, fingers crossed you guys hear soon.
