Think I may be the only person who hasn't heard back from ANY universities :frown:

Your not alone. I haven't heard from anybody either.

What makes you think that?

Just seems like a lot of people are reporting them today, that's all.

Am I right in thinking that unis will be shut next week, so if we don't hear anything this week it will be in the new year?

Latest you will hear anything before new years will probably be Saturday Christmas Eve.

WOW congratulations!!! :woo:

did you apply for the scholarship or they just gave it to you because you deserve it?

Thank you!! I'm so excited - I feel the need to share with everyone haha! Ermm there are two (I think) Vice-Chancellor Awards - one for music, one for sport. You just send off an extra form when you apply, and they let me know today! I was so surprised!

This was me this morning, now I have a rejection for Southampton. Wish I could go back to then, I only picked it to make up my 5th choice but I'm still a little gutted :frown:

BRISTOL EMAILED ME!!! :biggrin:

... to give me a glimpse of life in Bristol. :angry:

With holidays just around the corner we thought we’d tell you what student life is all about. The University of Bristol is located within one of the UK’s most vibrant cities and our students consistently tell us how much they love living here.

THIS DOES NOT HELP ME AT ALL!!! *goes mad*

Its title was 'Seasons greetings... and a glimpse into life at Bristol'.

The only glimpse that email's given me is that it's FRUSTRATING.

It does seem unnecessarily cruel that massively oversubscribed universities still advertise themselves regardless, as if it's actually in the hands of the students whether they go there or not, if you get my drift.

Thing is, they've only sent it to people who've applied to them, and it came along with a nice summary of my application so far :tongue:

...posting from my new phone so it takes a while and might have a load of mistakes :smile:

Sorry to hear that, what did you apply for/what where your grades or reasons for rejection? x

****'s sake. Rejected from Liverpool. Kind of expected it due to my PS not being for Politics but geared towards IR.

How can I ask for feedback? Ring them up?
