Aberystwyth Applicants 2012

My application has finally gone from college yesterday!
Fingers crossed I get an offer from Aber

Same here, mine was sent today. Good luck

Has anyone heard from them who is applying for English and/or Psychology?

It's been nearly a month and haven't heard anything yet

Conditional for English lit and creative writing.

Anyone know if we have to reply to the offer before applying for the scholarship or do you wait for the results in March? Bit concerned that waiting will mean being way down the list for accommodation. Seem to remember reading somewhere rooms were allocated in the basis of how quick you replied to something???

Congratulations for your offer!! As you say, fingers crossed that you get the grades you need



Here's hoping for a quick offer!



That's another huge selling point for me. Everybody I met on the open day went out of their way specially for me. Such as when I arrived at the accommodation office the night before as I'd booked a overnight stay, I was whisked away by a member of the site team in his van and driven all of 60 seconds then shown where everything was. Then the private bus ride down to the seafront accommodation by the friendly bus driver, I love Aber!!!



Congratulations!!

English - track updated with the offer 8 days after the application was sent off. They say they take up to 4 weeks so maybe you'll hear soon

It's been over a month now either I'll hear soon or I've been put on a 'Maybe' pile or something... haha -_-

If it's been over a month already then they are seriously considering having you.

The reason there is a discrepancy in what was asked for on UCAS and what they are asking you for in the offer is due to them having to seriously revise the entry requirements for many courses for September 2012 onwards.

This year they made way more offers than they had accommodation for (they guarantee all first years accommodation) and as everyone met or exceeded their offers, they were legally obliged to take them all. That's why there's something like 400 students in bunk beds. Therefore, they've had to scale up the requirements for many courses in order to try and control the numbers a bit more. It looks like UCAS hasn't been updated or that they haven't told UCAS to update their literature.

Well in my eyes that's unacceptable. I wouldn't have applied if they'd asked for 32 points, so if that's the case I've been seriously mis-led IMO.

I don't think that's the case anyway... my A level friend applying for the same course got offered what they asked for on UCAS, I think they just didn't like my application very much.
