    Tis indeed. Yeah I noticed that too but then why hve loads of other people got offers for my course but not me? I'm baffled by it all.

    Thanks for the encouragement tho are you at uni now?
    I wish

    I'm doing my AS levels right now, I hope to get into Pharmacy, I'm thinking about applying for UEA, Manchester, Aston, LSOP and Hertfordshire.

    Don't worry, some people get letters at different times, good luck for Leeds

    Depends on your predicted grades as well as the time you sent your application. I've also applied to Leeds and still haven't got a offer yet although they did call me to a open day which I forgot about . But don't worry there's still along time left till the final deadline so no need to worry.

    My predicts are AAB, Leeds wants AAB. Sheffiled offered me AAA; Manchester AAB; and Cardiff ABB.

    If they call you for an open day it means they're gonna give you an offer Cardiff that to me & 6 hours later I got the offer. I know but it's really frustrating having to wait

    For me, I heard earlier for the ones I didn't get into and it took longer to hear from the ones I did!

    My top choice of course is English Language & Literature, but for 2 (Manchester & Cardiff) I just applied for English Language.
    So a pretty competitive course it seems..

    I originally had an offer to do psychology and child studies at Lincoln uni but then the course was discontinued, so I had to put in a late application (which i am slighlty annoyed about!) to nottingham uni for mental health nursing. Still havent heard back about whether I have got an interview. Does anyone know the latest date for an interview decision?

    Seemingly Edinburgh's humanities department are sending out all decisions by the end of February.

    3 days left then.

    I can't remember fully the dates I heard as this was two years ago. But I applied to Execter and Bristol and got rejected, heard Jan/feb.
    Then Manchester I heard in Feb.
    Then Cardiff (where I am at) and Leeds, not until the end of Feb, maybe March!

    Oh ok! Thank you that's a bit more comforting. What did you apply for?

    Still waiting to hear from Ravensbourne, Goldsmiths, Queen Mary and LCC for film??
    Hi, just wondering if anyone else is still waiting to hear from the above universities?
    I've applied for film production/studies and have only received a interview request from West London so far, getting quite worried!

    When will the rest of the Universties reply?
    I've re-applied for university this year, due to how rubbish Lampeter and its History course is, but I was just if anybody else has had a reply from either Southampton Solent, Central Lancashire or Worecester? All of them are for Film Production/ Film and Television Studies... I applied back in January and still waiting, it's starting to get me a bit frustrated right now with the amount of waiting as I didn't wait this long last year =/

    I've gotten a conditional offer from Birmingham City and an interview from UCA so far.

    Just got my first offer! Conditional to Aberdeen for MA Geography, (BB at my highers) They kept me waiting long enough :unimpressed:

    Just Dundee, Stirling and Glasgow to go. Although I expect Glasgow will be a rejection :/

    Biology/Zoology. I saw on another thread that you'd called them and they had no notes on you.. how frustrating. I think we can analyse it until the cows come home but the fact of the matter is they are just one of the slow unis. The problem is I see everywhere "We are assessing applications on a daily basis so check your email/track regularly" so although I know I will probably be waiting another month or two, there is still that glimmer of hope that I may get something any day! I live in Bristol and love it, I do not want to leave, but Sheffield will be a good insurance! If you get an offer will you firm Bristol? What's your insurance? Good luck today! Perhaps the last day of the week that an offer seems possible.. although I still check on saturdays and sundays :rolleyes:
    Ah zoology that's interesting! Urgh I know the whole process is so exhausting! I'm post A level so I have no firm/insurance, just have to pick one and go! And the phone call apparently didn't help... Still nothing I don't think they'll ever reply! Good luck!

    I feel your pain. I got my application in for December & out of three uni's that I applied to (Oxford Brookes, Wolverhampton and Kingston) only one university has got back to me, even then I had to wait a couple of months & my interview is next week. I know there probably is no real order to the way they go through applications but it feels so frustrating when you read that other people have already had their interview & been accepted onto a course at a university that you haven't even heard back from. I'm really hoping I hear back soon, it's making me worry that I'll get rejected. eep.
