Depends when your institutions of choice have made a decision. This will mostly happen during business days, and evenings following such days.

You must be insecure if you require confirmation of something that you actually know to have happened in order to get peace of mind. Many university departments don't send acknowledgements as they feel they cannot justify spending taxpayers' money on telling applicants what they already know.

Sorry I didn't know that emails had separate charges... To argue your point, my friend's sister last year was applying for Law at Leeds Met and when she emailed them, they hadn't received it, so she had to contact UCAS to get it sent.... I know this is a mega rare occasion, but even for peace of mind it's worth it...

Hmm, TBH it depend on each individual uni and some may still be giving out offers to the 23rd and then stop until after christmas, then start again.
Alternatively some uni's may stop and start again in januray, it depends. :smile:

Last year I got an offer a few days before the Christmas holidays and got a rejection in early Jan. But I doubt admissions would be working through their holidays - they may do though.

If it's relevant, I got a conditional offer from UWE the day after my application was sent off.

In my 6th form, a girl sent hers off and got an offer the very next day :eek:

And then, you have people who sent theres in october and still havent gotten a reply.

When did you get your first offer, and in general, whats the sort of average time you have to wait between sending off the ucas and receiving your first offer(or rejection if thats the case)?

I sent mine off thurs morning, and got an acknowledgement from hertfordshire today.

That happened to me twice, but to be fair I'm not applying to the high ranking uni's.
Portsmouth and Greenwich they were. :smile:

Couldn't be happier to be going to Greenwich. :biggrin:

Edit; I know quite a few people who have heard from Hertfordshire so maybe you'll hear soon. :smile:

What are you applying for?
