Yeah I don't want any more e-mails from UCAS after my first rejection!
I still have 1 University that hasn't sent an acknowledgement for processing my form :frown:

Nope, I sent them an email though.

And thanks; you too! :biggrin:


If you log into Track and go Choices > course code of the uni that rejected you > view decision letter, it will tell you why you were rejected.

For example I got rejected from Plymouth, and so mine says

"Dear...

Your application is no longer being considered by Plymouth University for Optometry, B510 because either they have decided not to offer you a place or your application has been withdrawn. The reason is given below.

Your application has been unsuccessful

Not met academic criteria."

This was because I was predicted A*AB when my B subject needed to be an A for this course. This didn't stop me from getting offers from the other unis of the same course though!

"Your application is no longer being considered by The University of Birmingham for Computer Systems Engineering, H602 because either they have decided not to offer you a place or your application has been withdrawn. The reason is given below.

...and then follows some general info from UCAS...

Another week passed without any interviews :frown: I just want something good to happen already
Should I be worried that people are being given out conditional offers for the same course as me at the same university, when I already have the correct grade requirements yet still haven't heard anything? :s-smilie: :s-smilie:
Just got an e-mail from Royal Holloway with the program for the UCAS Day/Interview I'm going to next week.
I AM SO EXCITED.
If an offer says "This offer is inclusive of cached AS points" does that mean that any points I have from doing just AS subjects count towards the total tariff points i need? :smile:
Does track update on weekends as well or do the unis give the admissions officers a break?
Just got an offer for law from Birmingham University !! :biggrin:

I was one of the people who had been waiting for over a month without any reply, and assured myself i was gonna get 5 rejections .

Hopes this gives other people hope and lets other people without offers yet to just stay calm, and I wish good luck to everyone else with their application !

I have the same issue and it's making me go slightly nuts... the only reason I can think of for my application for Kings (which is the one I'm waiting for) that they haven't given me an offer is that I don't exceed the requirements I just meet them, unlike the people I know that have offers... its still really annoying though :frown:
but to be honest, if they meet the correct requirements and your PS was good, there's no reason for them not to, so maybe we're just in the next batch? (hopefully :biggrin:)

International students enter predicted grades just like everyone else, except instead of school doing it, they do it themselves.

um...my college will do that for me :P

Lucky! (yes, it does :smile:)
My friend has got a conditional offer with AS points inclusive as well. For her Sociology course, she only needs 280 UCAS points including AS so her fourth AS level in which she got like a B or C already takes up quite a large section of that!

Well done :biggrin:

Edit: I mean, if you did do an extra AS level (one you dropped once you reached A2 levels) then those points will go towards your conditional offer :smile:

Unlucky with the rejection! :frown: I got one too, albeit I got it after an offer from my favourite uni.. you will feel so much better with your first offer, don't worry! Why did they reject you, did they say??
