Yeah I've got an ABB/AAC offer from Sussex!

When's your interview? Mine's the 23rd, I'm nervous!
Where's your first choice?
Feeling nervous now, I've just seen someone get an offer for York history!

I've decided not to go to the interview, I'm from Ireland and have school stuff on during the interview I was given so I told them I wouldn't be able to attend, RHUL was only a back-up so not too pushed if they reject me. My first choice is Queen Mary or Sussex, what about you?

Is it just me or is there a lack of offers floating around today? There's usually quite a few people talking about their offers on here but it's very quiet today.

Sussex or RHUL for me, so :smile: And haha, yes, it's probably a bit of a stretch to come from Ireland, I'm sure they'll understand!

Aw thanks, I hope so - it's just so terrifying! *is being a little melodramatic*

Fingers crossed it'll all be fine for us, good luck with offers! :biggrin:
Hello everyone, I am an American student applying to Universities in the UK. I sent in my applications last week and was wondering if anybody could give me a baseline/guideline for how long it will take to hear from schools. I know they can take up until March, but I've heard that some schools tend to be faster. Any help is well appreciated!

It might be tomorrow or it might be in May. Or it could be any point in between. There is really not point in guessing and people can't do lists either as it varies from university to university, between courses within university and also depending on things like your fee status, predicted grades and generally how strong they feel your application is to other applicants. This isn't something anyone else can really give you advice about!

The one thing going for you is that as an international student you're subject to different entry criteria than home students so universities tend to get back more quickly to internationals as they can take as many of them as they like whereas there's more restrictions for EU/home students because they receive government funding. I went to Edinburgh for my degree and if you've applied there then you can expect to here back relatively soon as they get back to international students quickly whereas EU/UK applicants will be quite literally waiting for months yet.
Anyone receive offers for Sports Science/Exercise Science?

sounds awesome! will it be taught at the same time to all Maths&CS and CS students across colleges, or will each college have a different class? haha why do Maths&CS students work harder than the pure CS students? :tongue:

The lectures will be with everyone from all colleges (and possibly a lot more people, depending on the subject).

Tutorials will be just with people of the same subject from the same college. You will be in groups of 2-4 as far as I have experienced.

And they do just work harder. Or at least complain about their workload more :tongue:
Woooooo, just got an offer from- oh wait. No I didn't.

Hey! Just realised you were on here! How is BGS going?
No offer so far and I have been waiting for over a month. Well if I don't get into uni I will be fine.

I sent my application off Wednesday, received my first offer on Friday! I was surprised by how quick this was but I've not heard back from anywhere else yet, I just want to know!
