    In general, do offers for international/overseas students come at around the same time as for UK students?

    Thanks Annie!!! Good luck to you too!!! I'm still waiting for both LSE and Cambridge, although not putting much hopes on Cambridge.

    OMG LSE has started their applications processing? Apparently someone just got rejected from LSE to read Social Anthropology. Cheer up mate!

    Application sent: 26th or 27th October 2011 (I was away from home when my application was sent)

    Decision [Offer/Rejection]: Rejection

    You can see which day it was sent (completely processed) on track. Just look at the update date for a choice, from which you have not received a decision.

    Congratulations with the offer, and let's hope your other remaining choices follow Surrey's example rather than QMUL's.

    True that, I just logged on there to check - definitely the 26th.

    Aw, thanks so much, you just made the rest of my night.
    What about you? Any news from your choices? What's your top choice, if you don't mind me asking?

    Computer Systems Engineering.

    Your choices seems great too. I'd apply to UCL/Southampton if they offered CSE

    Aww, they don't offer CSE? That sucks. But hey, they main thing is that you do what you truly want to do right? I mean, it's better than just applying for a course you don't want, at a high-profile university just for the sake of applying to a high-profile university, right?

    Many of my choices are 'high profile' too, y'know. I am not really bothered about it though, because there are many good unis that offers a CSE course.

    Of course they are... in fact, none of them are 'low profile' at all. Nah, I'm just saying that there's no point of applying to a place like Oxford, if Oxford doesn't have the course you want. Just saying.
    There ya go. Which of they ones you applied to is your top choice?

    Bath perhaps... I'm not completely sure to be honest. Luckily, we have until May to decide!

    And I wouldn't stand a chance getting into Oxford. Their entry requirements are incredibly tough for Norwegian applicants.
