    School, then helping maths tutoring, then going straight to piano, after piano it's back to school for our autumn concert which will only finish at half 9 at the earliest.
    Sounds like a busy day.

    I've only had one acknowledgement so far by UEA. Some universities don't send acknowledgements out. Where have you applied?

    Had two acknowledgements so far, from Bath and Sheffield. Applied on 6th October :P I'm annoying myself at the moment by constantly logging into track when I know there's nothing changed. The wait is excruciating haha :L

    Just a small suggestion.

    Thought it might be useful to add another field - "Offer received date" and "Offer received time" in the UCAS 2012 decisions thread as the present template has only "Applied date" and not "Received date"

    That way, people who update the thread later also can write the exact date and time when they received the offer

    Thanks
    OK - doesn't guarantee that people will provide this information, though

    Apart from those applying for medicine/dentistry/vet med or Oxbridge, I'm so surprised how early some of you have got your applications sent away...I've not even started my PS yet!

    I wish I hadn't applied to medicine now, just because I know that the wait will be really long :P haha

    5 acknowledgements now. The excitement is starting to wear off and i'm just grimly hoping I get an interview or my Manchester questionnaire soon just for something to do, I want to feel like something is happening!

    I got an email from Essex today stating that they'll start considering the applications on 17 October, and that I might get a decision within a month or so. At least I have received a sign acknowledgement from all my choices now.
