I doubt many have twitter. Leeds does but it's for current students, it contains no information for prospective ones.

Seems UKCAT scores have not yet been sent to Unis. UKCAT failing to reply to tweets to confirm and Edinburgh have confirmed today that they still do not have the results :mad:

How do you know this?

Is it horrible if I hope that Pearson's hard drives fried and schools won't get UKCAT results this year? Is that being too optimistic haha

I think it would be better if UCAS somehow misplaced all the applications and then were forced to choose names of all the applicants from a hat :biggrin:

I was hoping that too :biggrin:

In reply to someone asking about the results Edinburgh said: "not yet. Pearson are having problems I believe. We might be getting them today." :frown:

I bet it's because they are/were having trouble pairing up our scores with our UCAS applications.
I remember idiots on here claiming that it was a fool proof system, it's always been successful etc.
