UEA Applicants 2012 entry

Good to know! Hope you're enjoying it there

i haven't got anything from UEA, no acknowledgement or nothing. I've applied for literature and history and I know they do background checks on everyone but with all my others I have acknowledgments (sent 21st of October) and with UEA i've had no response.

I quite like UEA, but when Loughborough and Glasgow have made me an offer, and leicester and kent have acknowledged me UEA aren't putting up a good reason why I should firm them (if they do give me an offer).

UEA need to hurry up and acknowledge me or I will remove them from even being considered as a firm when the others appear to want me.

Does anyone know how important it is to attend post-offer open days at UEA?
If I say I can't go, will they do something crazy like withdraw my offer?

cheers! apart from a few minor hiccups I am.

I never got an acknowledgement and just received an offer without warning, the same happened for Loughborough too. The only reason I got one from Bham and Nottingham was because one wanted an interview from me before an offer and the other put my application on hold.
You only sent it off a few weeks ago, relax.



They won't withdraw you for not going, and as for going it depends on your course. I was offered a post-offer open day which contained an interview too which afterwards they lowered my offer. But if there isn't anything about an informal interview in the letter you've received and you feel the trip is not needed don't worry, they won't use it against you!


Haha I think anyone who hasn't had a few hiccups since we started is crazy!

Glad to know I'm not the only one, unfortunatley mine have been of both the academic and people (flatmate) variety

ditto plus accommodation (which I have to go back again tomorrow :l) and homesickness! The last one being one I didn't expect to get, seeing as I was trying to get away from the place for years haha.

I'm worried now it doesn't say anything specfically about an interview but it does say informal discussions with academic staff- surely there's nothing about an interview there, right?

12:15 – 13:00pm Welcome and Introduction to the School of History – Dr Richard MaGuire (Admissions Director)
13:00 – 14:00pm Light refreshments and informal discussions with academic staff and current students
14:00 – 15.00 pm Subject sessions and Individual Admissions Talks with Academic members of staff in the School of History.

Ah well, I think I could get AAB anyway, UEA is likely to be my insurnce choice

12th october i got the biomed offer, and the post offer open day came through the post in half term, not sure what day! but i imagine they'll be doing quite a few of them anyway

I'm applying for American Literature and Creative Writing. Anyone know much about social life at UEA?

Hi all. Quick question. If you have had an offer already, you may have received the applicant visit day letter. On the visit day form, it asks to write the 'UCAS ID Number'. Is the 'UCAS ID Number' the personal ID or UEA's 'Applicant Number'?

Thank you for any help.

If it says 'UCAS ID Number' then it means the ID which you use to enter UCAS apply/track with

Hi all, can I join this thread please?
