Americans applying to university in the UK

Has anyone received an offer? You all submitted UCAS a month or more ago. I thought schools responded within two or so weeks? But maybe it is not so quick?

I am just being impatient. I WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE (I mean... UNIVERSITY)! haha :tongue:

Some people received an offer. York, Edinburgh, and St. Andrews. But you'll have a bit to go for Edinburgh. The lady emailed me and told me they were running behind this year. You could expect the end of the month/first week of next month from Edinburgh. KCL and SOAS will be a while. QMUL could be any day for you. Manchester has given offers already to UK students, so you should also hear from them any day.

Thank you for the information. I guess patience will just have to be key to hear back from some of those schools.

I wish you all the best with your offers!

Thanks!

Yes, the email I received from Edinburgh actually recognized that the process was going slower than expected. As long as I receive an offer I am a happy camper!

No way! That's great, congratulations! When did you apply?

Forgive the nosiness, I'm so past the point of desperation. :tongue:

Heh, don't apologize. I applied October 15th, right on the Oxford deadline. Given that it's taking so long for everyone else I'm actually pretty surprised I got an offer so soon. Maybe it's just the course I chose?

Still, that's super exciting! You must have had a great record, too, to hear back so quickly. What course did you apply for?

You'll have to let me know if you ever the information packet on all that good university stuff that they said they would send. Because I for one have not!!

Hi everybody, just found this site recently, and just got up the courage to post. :tongue:

Any fellow Americans applying for biomedical sciences (or Medical Sciences at Edinburgh)? The wait for offers and such is craaaazy, but I'm glad I found a bunch of other people in the same boat.

Best of luck to everybody, though! can't believe some of you all are getting offers already!!! :eek:

I was not expecting it at all. I checked my status at the equivalent of 12 there time when I woke up. Went out and when I came home I was like there's no way that I'll have gotten an offer it's Friday. Sure enough got an email track had updated! Much happier now. I just have to get a 3.0 cumulative average in my joint enrollment classes. Also have to get a 3.0 in English Comp I and English Comp II.

Uh-oh, I submitted my application with many of my tests (mainly APs) as "pending." Will that affect any chances at offers? :s-smilie:

Why pending? Are you just about to take the AP Test on May and you're waiting for their requirements if they give you a conditional offer?
I think you'll be alright. I would do that, but i ust want everything complete when i submit it so that i dont have to worry later on :p:
