    Warwick 2012 POSTGRADUATE Applicants
    Hi all,

    as there is a thread for 2012 undergraduate applicants I thought it would be good to have one for postgrads as well.

    I have applied for the MSc Intercultural Communication for Business but I haven't heard back yet.

    I also applied to Lancaster and I'm not sure yet which would be my preference if I got offers from both.

    What have you applied for and have you heard anything yet?

    There's also a Facebook group; please feel free to join https://www.facebook.com/groups/137932526340584/

    Which course did you apply for? Did you get a conditional or an unconditional offer?

    Hi all!

    Got a conditional offer for English here (just have to send in my transcript) after a successful interview with two (joint) supervisors. The interview went incredibly well and now I'm just biding my time hoping for an international scholarship. Fingers crossed!

    The waiting is already driving me crazy - Warwick is perfect for what I want to do, and I don't want to have to wait until the end of March for the scholarship results.

    Any other English offers here? Or Arts/Humanities in general?

    Hi fellow Warwickers to be!!

    I got a conditional offer for MA International Political Economy. I just have to graduate from my undergraduate university (May 2012 ) and send my transcripts to receive an unconditional. So happy!

    As an international, I'm worried about accommodation!!

    I got an offer for MSc Statistics, yesterday!
    It took them less than 1 week to reply me, so when I received the e-mail I thought that they only wanted to confirm me that they have received my application or smth, (because they had said that I had to wait for at least 1 month until they decide).
    When I read "We are delighted to inform you..." , I almost fall out of my chair......!!

    Awaiting decisions from Oxford, Imperial, LSE, UCL, Cambridge
    If I get multiple offers then it's going to be a hard decision for me.

    What grades did they want you to get? I got an offer but I'm not sure if it's conditional or unconditional! I received a welcome letter and everything but no conditions Did it explicitly state on your offer that it's conditional?

    Have you already graduated?
    In my offered it stated that it's conditional. (to graduate)

    So does it only say "you are offered a place"?
    Could you copy-paste that region of the letter?

    It says 'I am happy to inform you that your application has been successful and we look forward to welcoming you as a future potential student'. It goes on and says that i'll receive course contents and accommodation details in the next few weeks.

    Quite confusing if you ask me. I'll just wait and see what will be said in the next email.

    Yeah, I could do but I might as well just wait until I'll get an email from them in a couple of weeks. i'm not that much in a hurry I was just wondering what it said in everybody else's letters

    Re: Warwick 2012 POSTGRADUATE Applicants
    Thats strange and it could be interpreted either way. My email is completely different and explicitly states "we would like to make you a conditional offer..." conditional on a 2.1 degree.

    Yeah it explicitly said it was conditional. If you haven't graduated from your undergraduate degree, they will only extend a conditional offer until you graduate and show proof.

    Just while everyone's on the topic of conditional offers... I've got a conditional (on the provision of mailing in an oridinal transcript) but I can't find anywhere with information on how to do so. Or do you have to accept the offer first and then provide the transcript? I don't want to accept just yet as I'm waiting to see if I get any other offers...
