    Depends on the unis. Last year someone got an offer on christmas eve.

    Constantly have my hotmail open hoping for an e-mail! Then as always realize it's Amazon or something!
    Only got one interview so far but my application was only sent off on the 2nd.

    Yes. Other's have said on here that it depends on each individual university. Apparently a lot will keep giving out decisions until Christmas eve. I'm hoping so anyway!

    I'm pretty sure the admission tutors have lives too.

    Medicine
    East Anglia - Expecting a rejection from here because most of their interviews have been given out already.
    Southampton - I think they have made a pillow out of all the applications and are sleeping on them.
    Leeds - I really want to go here but I think they will start giving offers out after the new year.

    Clinical Sciences
    Bradford - They are taking their time.

    Biomedical Sciences
    St George, London - I don't even know why I applied here.
