    same as u, lucy. and i'm down to 2 apps for SW now. so i may well be going to my insurance choice, if i get rejected.

    glad when all this will be over.

    Hey all, have sent away my second stage answers for Dundee, Stirling and Strathclyde now, not heard anything from GCU or UWS yet though. Called GCU who answered the generic could be anytime until may, and UWS said they'd call back and didnt so have sent an email to check that out. The fact that people have already had interviews at UWS prob doesnt bode well though....Good luck all!! xx

    Thanks! UWS havent replied to the email so up in the air with that. I'd only get conditionals at the mo anyway as im doing an Access to Social Work course at the mo so hopefully that helps seal the deal lol. Whagt voluntary work is everyone doing? xx

    UWS just got in touch. Apparently staff absence led to some applications not having been looked at yet. Got an interview but they cant confirm a date yet

    I don't think anyone has heard back from GCU at all so I'm guessing they're just held back on applications, don't say that! You'll be fine. What uni is it you would like to go to?

    I know how you're feeling... it's March tomorrow and I have no offers! Dundee is my first choice, then RGU, GCU and Stirling. Just checking my emails constantly, hoping that I get a nice wee email from UCAS!!

    I'll post on here as soon as I hear back from any of them. I know RGU weren't giving offers until the start of April.

    god i did the WORST thing. i withdrew from dundee too! now i am KICKING myself. 2nd stage with them and i withdrew
    i think i've been on brain melt lately.

    i so totally get how ya feel too! agreed, no SW offers and it's march tomorrow. and the way it's going? we aint gonna know till aaaaages yet!
    i'm not sure i'm gonna survive the process with me sanity intact!

    and deffo update as soon as u hear. it's always nice to see when fellow SW'ers are making it

    i'm praying i scraped thru my work with strath cos that was BAD! and done the nite before. GOD knows where my head's been last two/three months but i hope i don't pay for it. still, all it takes is one offer and rejection is also part of the game ...fingers crossed for all of us, eh?
