    yeah northampton as insurance if im successful , although i already have all my qualifications , just because on the coventry website it says access applicants dont need GCSEs separate but then the conditions state access diploma with Maths and english grade a - c GCSE equivalences ??? i only have grade d maths but think it should be included with my access course ?? think its me just being paranoid because i cant believe i actually got an offer il be happy when im sat at my desk in sept

    Got a weird letter today from Hertfordshire. I applied to study there, and received an outright rejection a few weeks ago. However, today, I got a letter inviting me to interview! Checked UCAS track, and sure enough, that status has changed from an "Unsuccessful" to an "Invitation" (though it is odd that UCAS didn't contact me about that!)

    Anyway, quite chuffed about that, as well as slightly taken aback!

    Those with offers, if you already know what your decisions are, please make them to give other people peace of mind. I'm sure we'd all really appreciate it!

    I have to agree, the waiting list is my only chance now and I know people are starting to decline their places they dont want, but the comments about waiting until all universities get back to them make me very nervous. As if it wasnt bad enough waiting the first time round now I have to wait for a phone call that may never come.

    ucas doesnt allow you to accept an offer until you have heard from all universities unless you withdraw your other applications which not everybody wants to do as some want an insurance choice incase they dont meet conditions of the first choice ,

    equivalents to GCSE at grades A*-C generally means a level 2 qualification, a lot of access courses include these if you haven't already got the GCSEs - have you done any numeracy stuff as part of your access ?

    Nothing here. Pretty sure they said beginning of April but it's Easter now so might not hear until after the holidays- unless someone else knows any different.

    I didn't think that administration staff took the easter holidays, I thought they just did shorter days? Unless someone knows different.

    I suspect the admin team just has the bank holidays off. I.e. Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday?

    This is only a guess though! - Don't take my word for it.

    Same situation as will be a second degree, I am getting a career development loan (interest paid by government for two years) and funding the rest myself... gonna be in debt but hopefully worth it.

    Re: Paramedic Practice/Science-2012 Entry
    Got a double wammy on Thursday UCLAN fitness test @9am :O however LJMU have given me an interview for 1pm. Both universities were if you cannot attend we cannot change the date (very cooperative I know). If i fail my UCLAN fitness test in the morning I can get to LJMU for 1pm but if I pass it, I'm going to have to do the UCLAN interview and phone LJMU and beg them for another date. Anyone else in the same boat

    I'm in exactly the same situation but I found it wasnt funding the degree that is the problem so much as funding myself while i'm on it. Since you cant really work while on the course.
