Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12first time applicant(Original post by mpc1)
Are you a re-applicant or first time applicant?
Some of them (first time applicants) were able to get into track RIGHT after applying.

Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12It was sent off at about 6pm today.(Original post by mpc1)
At what time was your application sent off?
Typically, should be possible to log into track with the ucas user name, pwd and ucas ID. -

It happens. One year it was Manchester that kept sending out really swift offers for all sorts of courses, the next year it was Sheffield.
As per some of the posts, last year this time, there seems to be more number of offers in 2010 around this time!
Any idea why ? rather why not this year yet? -

Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12Nope - except that it may be that unis are being a bit more cautious about sending out early offers than they used to be. I agree with you, though - there's usually more to report by this stage!(Original post by mpc1)

Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12Huh? Do you mean, which courses? My comment was generic - unis have found themselves in previous years having made 'too many' offers too soon, so perhaps they are taking their time this year, waiting to see what comes in by the end of October, for instance.(Original post by mpc1)
for what? -
Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12I wouldn't worry too much, universities like to take there time.(Original post by thompsonic7)

What did you apply for? And where? -
Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12It's right; don't worry.(Original post by TotalLifeForever)
Just logged into UCAS using the method in the OP, despite a couple of acknowledgments I've received, track doesn't show this. Is that right? Just blank with the choices.
I assume it only changes once you get an offer/rejection. -
Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12Thanks!(Original post by stifa)
It's right; don't worry.

I've only had 3 out of 5 replies, and I applied last Friday! Don't worry, I don't think some unis even send acknowledgements!

Re: The "waiting for news is driving me crazy" uberthread 2011-12Yeah, before that offers thread got derailed and closed, there were a few people with Manchester offers in there.(Original post by Minerva)

Nearly there, then the long wait begins
