Does an offer recommendation amount to an offer 100% of the time?

If the department says that they are recommemding to the faculty that an offer be made to you, does it guarantee you an offer? Or, royghly how many people get in after receiving this letter?

Can someone just explain to me why they 'recommend that you are made an offer' instead of just making one!?

Thanks :smile:

Because its not them that gets to make the offer so all they can do is reccomend you but as the department that does make the offers doesnt see anyone they go on what they get told from what I know. So they just go on the reccomendations. From this I would conclude that it does result in an offer 100% of the time. I could be wrong though

I think the above post is correct. UCL has Faculties and they make the offer, so they go by the departments to tell them who to make the official offers to. If the department have said that then the chances of you getting an official (through UCAS) offer are very very high. Well done.

Got it on the 4/12 for History. People have been saying that they don't update track until after the open day because they want to see if you turn up/are serious about a place there.

Congrats!

That could well be true, but usually you would get the letter after an Open day / interview with UCL.

Because I am an international student in the letter it said that "an interview is clearly not feasible in your case. Therefore I have recommended...blahblah"...so it`s still weird

I'm an international too! But they didn't make any mention of that/interviews at all. Which subject did you apply for?
