Re: Should i be worried, received no offers from 5 uni's yet?I'm starting to think it is now, just heard that if they require BBB they don't take the fact i have an A into count and just see it as me having 1 grade lower than the requirements, they don't average it out as 3 B's as i have an A and a C, ahh man i hope for best honestly. I really should have sent this way earlier, man!(Original post by POWW!)
So you applied to 5 uni's where you don't meet the requirements... pretty risky if you ask me. -
Re: Should i be worried, received no offers from 5 uni's yet?My AS grades were the same A in English Literature, B in History and C in Religious Studies, i know i will get higher than an ABC though i think i'll get an AAB or ABB hopefully im working really hard and my january exams went well, will it even matter though since ABC was written on the UCAS form if i rocked up with an AAB i would have already got rejected. Ahhh i really am screwed aren't i?(Original post by Nathan_oH)
1) You sent your ucas form late?
2) All your options have higher requirements than your predictions?
3) Your applying for a competitive subject
I have a feeling you got low AS grades, what where they? -

but seriously you'll be ok, if you don't get any you could take a gap year -
Re: Should i be worried, received no offers from 5 uni's yet?
it's possible that you might still get some offers, but only if the spelling in your ps wasn't like in your original post...
on the other hand, at least if you don't get any offers, you can immediately go into Extra, where you're more likely to get into a course more suited to your grades. http://www.ucas.com/students/offers/extra -
Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12well done! i have an offer from sheffield as well for maths and management.. but when i went to see the city i really hated it(Original post by juliewho)

Re: Worried that I've applied too late...what course have you applied for if you don't mind me asking? i'm wondering if archaeology is more popular than i thought? and it's taking a bit more time because of that? i'm hoping it's that anyway!(Original post by yayayapiolin)
I applied the on the 13th of Jan, yes cutting it close.
Within 12 days I had 3 offers. 3 week just under a month on and ive had offers from 4 unis.
Give them time they take every application equally. Regardless of when it was submitted.

Re: Worried that I've applied too late...
christmas is fine thats when most send them, ucl and nottingham have a habit of not replying to certain courses untill damn close to the deadline anyway
plus from what i've heard [could be wrong] they do some of their offers in tranches so youd have probably missed the first tranche ergo youd be getting an offer later anyway
having said that i just got my offer from ucl
may i ask what you applied for?

Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12
Wahh, big problem.
I got an offer from Greenwich so far. The offer is conditional to a Grade in my Abitur at 2,5. But my German teacher had a bad mood this year and rated the whole class down. So I will miss the 2,5 for some points and only will get a 2,6. I hope to get offers from 2 more Unis at well, but they told me per email & on their website that the lowest accepted grade will be an 2,5. What should I do?

Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12Why didn't you like it? I know what you mean though, I don't like Leeds at all, sometimes you just have preferences as to what you're looking for. No point going somewhere you won't feel comfortable(Original post by JosieG)

If you do get offers from the other universities then you will need to send them your Abitur results and see if they will accept you even though you didn't meet the offer. They might do, but they might not be able to tell you until August when the British students get their results as priority will be given to people who did get the right grades.
If you get rejected from all of your choices then you can consider UCAS Extra which is where you get to add an additional choice. However, you'd need to make sure that they accepted 2.6 before you applied. -
