I'm still waiting for an acknowledgement from Southampton for Chemistry :frown: Please may I ask how long it took between applying to getting an acknowledgement? And then between the acknowledgement and the getting invited? thanks :smile:

I don't know about anyone else but I got an acknowledgement through the post after just under two weeks and received my invitation a few days later :smile:

I've had acknowledgements from both Warwick and Imperial, got the Warwick acknowledgement last Friday night, and the Imperial acknowledgement yesterday morning :smile: I know some people who are applying to Imperial on TSR who haven't got acknowledgements either, so don't worry :smile:

Well done for the Warwick offer, what do you need to get? :smile:

It is painful :frown: Oooh, where's your offer from? I got one from Sheffield yesterday; it's actually one of my favourites out of my five, so I'm pretty happy :biggrin:


Mine's from Leeeeds :smile: It's my insurance (my other choices are AAA-A*AA) but I love it so I'm really pleased! Isn't Simon Armitage Professor of Poetry at Sheffield? Jealouuuuus! And congratulations on your offer! :biggrin:

It was only 2 days ago, offered AAB :smile: It took a little while between my acknowledgement and my offer so I wouldn't worry too much! :smile:

Oh cool :biggrin: Imperial, Birmingham, Southampton, Warwick and Keele as my backup, for what subject?! :biggrin: and you have a quarter break? That's pretty cool :P and yeah :s-smilie: Well, at least they are only mocks :smile: I have a bio mock after half term, which I'm revising for on Sunday, seeing as its not that much of a mock as we haven't learnt all the January material yet :smile: Managed to get 24/27 on my Chemistry test though, although they made us do another one! :P


great :smile: for Maths&CS. hbu?

ahaha very easy for you to say... -__- they're not JUST mocks to me because those are the grades we'll use to apply to uni... I'm glad my UCAS app has been submitted with the older predictions (which is higher) but I'm worried about my application to other countries :frown:

I'm still waiting for the acknowledgement too :frown: but maybe it's because I'm an international applicant... perhaps they have sent me the postcard but i just haven't received it because it takes 3 weeks to reach me ahaha
I'm getting spammed with e-mails now asking me to fill out more forms

:nothing:
