    If we are lucky and the admission process is similar to last year, 1 week till we hear about the outcomes! (Last year they knew by Mon Feb 14th)
    Just thought I would let you guys know, its incredibly frustrating but GOOD LUCK to everyone!

    Does everyone find out on the same day, regardless of decision?

    I think it is a period of 2-3 days. They don't have that much time to tell everyone at the same time :dontknow:

    Does it come as an email from ucas saying that track has been updated or is it straight from the university itself?

    I guess that's better than opening your email and seeing their decision unexpectedly.

    Exactly except UCAS track emails are so scary. However, I usually end up checking UCAS before the email (intuition or w.e.).

    How long does it take to update. A few minutes or a few hours?

    Exactly, hope you get an offer.
    Just wait for the email, pressing the F5 key is really annoying ( been through that. )

    I think it was something like 1200 applied, 200 rejected for not having minimum academics, 450 then were selected to interview, 300 of whom will get offered a place.

    I'm not trying to panic anyone, but everyone heard on Valentine's Day last year and their last interview was 2 weeks after ours. We probably won't hear tomorrow, but we could do.

    Ohh clever thinking
    Do you know if they did a similar thing last year of saying "hear by the end of feb/march" but then give out offers earlier?
    Although I really can't deal with another reason to check my emails - Southampton are already killing me

    They said end of February the same actually. But they did cancel our last interview day so here's hoping! Have you got any offers yet?
