Same - not too surprised to be honest but quite annoying, I just want to know if I have been rejected or accepted now! I have a feeling I will be waiting a long time for offers :rolleyes:

It's for a masters in Physics. At the time when I made my username I couldn't decide between the two subjects. :colondollar:

Remember that your schools will have been busy dealing with the early deadline applicants for the last few weeks. These people HAD to get their applications done whereas you guys have got another three months.

If it were the other way around I highly doubt you'd be impressed as an Oxbridge/medicine candidate if your application ended up being late or your teacher had less time to help you because they were prioritising people who still had months to apply. Remember, teachers have so much other stuff going on in their professional and personal lives. Your UCAS application is one tiny part of all of the responsibilities they have and when it comes down to it, whether your application goes now or in a few weeks doesn't make any difference. If your PS is good then it will always be good. Even when it does get sent all that will happen then is that you'll spend the next 7 months refreshing track for 5 words to change. Its a long long process - if you stress yourself out now before you've even begun you will not survive in a healthy way until next August.

I know its difficult and feels like its the end of the world. But it isn't - good luck :smile:

You're a wonderful person. :smile:

I still have no offers

:nothing:

This is very normal for this time of year. Try not to get too stressed about it right now - there'll be plenty of time for that later. Go off and do fun teenaged things. :smile:

This year, Notts are NOT sending out acknowledgments, they will either - interview straight, or accept/reject. A few people got offers from Notts within around a fortnight of applying but didnt recieve any acknowledgment emails or letters.

not sure about the others e.g. southampton

Well, I certainly don't know, being of your parents' generation, so I thought I'd best be vague.
