    Antifazian would it be possible for you to make a list of people, college and course, in your first post .... just becuase once there are a lot of posts on here then it's hard to tell if there's anyone else doing anything similar quickly. (Like in the durham firmer's thread if you were on that).

    Just to warn you this takes quite a lot of effort (from me who knows!) particularly since I guess there will be even more people than on the firmers thread replying soon!

    But I do agree something would be useful!

    Congratulations! I got in too - they've sent a huge pack of paperwork through the post to me and a friend who's in at St Mary's, so maybe it depends on the college for when they'll contact you, but they've asked to confirm by email. Hopefully you'll receive something soon - do you know anyone who's got in at the same college? They might know more specific details.
    Yepp st mary's were very enthusiastic with the forms...took me an hour to get through them all lol! Really excited though. I got into do geography at st mary's.

    I'm pretty sure you're friends with me on FB (I'm the girl) and they put a picture up of the packs ready to send out yesterday - so expect it in the next couple of days I think!
    And reply to the email address that's on the UCAS letter
