Bristol 2012 applicants !

Thanks for your advice, but I haven't made any rash decisions I just made it clear I probably won't withdraw, and I've already apologised for my own impatient nature, which I agree, is my own fault for wanting to come to some sort of conclusion about where I'll probably be attending/ living next year.

I will cope exactly the same way in waiting for a response until Feb/ March as I will feel if I get an answer next week - impatiently because it's how I feel about it, just because no-one else in my school applies to unis like Durham/ St. Andrews/ Edinburgh and since they've already had 5 responses, 2 weeks after sending their UCAS forms off I therefore get impatient as in "when will I begin to think about firm/ insurance choices?" etc. It's not negative, I'm not running around going "I hate Bristol, this wait is disgraceful" because I don't think that, the only place I wrote that I was impatient waiting for a reply was here. It's just everyday my form tutor has an obsession with asking how many offers people have and therefore implying something is wrong with my application if I haven't heard back yet (I know this isn't true btw).

(Now obviously I regret that as everyone thinks I'm being ridiculous - I'm sorry, I wanted to apologise for my attitude firstly, but then I worried even apologising for being impatient about this would make people think I was being sarcastic).

I know I need more patience. I know the quality of the department at Bristol is good (why else would I apply there?). I will not throw my future away, by any means, I promise.


"which could be quite worrying in terms of how you will cope at an actual higher institution" This part made me sad though I don't see how being impatient about this makes me generally unsuitable for university life, I will try harder and I will not make any rash decisions, I have not withdrawn my application from Bristol and will continue to wait....I thought that was a bit of an unfair analysis considering you don't really even know me...

I should also have made clear earlier that the only reason I might withdraw my application from Bristol if it gets round to March is that I prefer some of the other places I already have offers from, and they have the same grade requirements, also I prefered the on-site accomodation at UEA/ Exeter and RHUL, so sorry that it seemed that I would ever withdraw my application just because of the wait/ my own impatience.

any languages applicants heard anything?

Has anyone been given/ heard of any one being given a rejection from Bristol?

My theory is they have kept all applicants who aren't quite as high enough grades until January/February to make their decision when they have received all applications.

So if you haven't heard from them yet and your application was sent over a month ago then you might be waiting for a bit longer!
