I have a funny feeling no one is going to post rejections on here =p

Probably not, but i suspect you'd have had to apply to a university completely out of your league to have gotten outright rejected already. The unis will hand out offers quickly to people they are really confident about, dribble out offers to others they are not so sure about for the coming months, then wait till they have pretty much all the applications in before rejecting any reasonable application.

Got an offer from Northampton a few days ago, 260 UCAS points for English and History. But it's my 'worst case scenario' choice, so I'm not overly excited.

Once you have an offer or two it does become a lot more fun

Definately! On my first offer i started screaming after being so nervous at the email from track, after that it started to get less nerve-wracking and more fun. Now i feel a little bit bad that i had no reaction to my offer today.. haha. It all went too fast!

British College of Osteopathic Medicine. What exactly is it? do u apply on ucas? anyone now about it?

[mpc1]

Is it ok to contact the colleges to find out the status of the applications assuming there was no feedback for more than a month?

If one gets an offer or a rejection, will the form tutor/referee also be notified by the universities or only the applicants?

Those who got offers already, do you know how it works – did you notify your high school about your offers or how does the process work?

If there is no feedback after a month, i wouldn't worry as long as you have recieved an Acknowledgment... for some courses.. it'll take extra long for them to make decisions also.. if the uni is veryyy highly ranked it may take longer..

Usually its only the applicants.. it'll come up on YOUR track and you'll get an email.. the referee won't.

Okay i got an Offer from Liverpool a couple days ago for ABB, UCAS track sends u an email saying you have a "status change" on your application.. log onto track and click "choices" and you'll see it there - whether it says Conditional or Unconditional etc.. then.. you will most likely recieve information in the post from that uni.. its up to you if you wanna notify your referee or not.. they wont get an email from the uni or from track.. as far as im aware.. when i got an offer and told my referee.. he didnt know about it..

so yeahh..

I think I remember when I was originally inputting my information into UCAS it asked me if I wanted information of offers/rejections to be available to my school/college and I clicked yes, so I think it depends on what you put for that section. Also, if you applied through a school/college, they have a list of all applicants who applied through them and the process of their application (i.e. which sections they've started, and the information they've put in etc).

[Jodianne]

Once I send my UCAS off I'll probably be logging on 290802 times a day to see if I have any offers.

Are you sure about this feature? Can anyone else confirm too..

So, does that mean, whoever applied through school or college will have all their offers/rejection available to be viewed by the referees as well?

I'm pretty sure I remember agreeing to share certain information from universities with my school!

I think they can, I'm not 100% sure about the referees, as my careers advisor sent off the applications to UCAS and someone else is my referee. I'm guessing whoever sent off the application on your behalf can see it (as long as you've agreed that they can), but not the referee (if they're a different person), but that's just a guess, can anyone else confirm this?

Hello all,

My name is Simon and I work for Coventry University.

The applicant is the only person who will be notified about their University Offers, as only the applicant will have access to their UCAS Track account (unless you start handing out your log-in to friends and family!).

Don't worry if you haven't heard back from your Universities yet. They will be receiving thousands of applications and processing will take quite some time, as we like to be thorough and double-check everything. As such, it is normal not to hear anything for a few months.

Anyway, good luck with everything!

Simon

Many thanks for the useful info.

The tutors do have access to the ucas apply at the time of applying for those who apply via school or college . Is track access different from apply access?

Are international applicants with non A level courses typically evaluated later than domestic applicants with A levels? Many A level applicants got offers already but for the same course and same uni, no feedback for EU/Intl applicants.

UCAS track states that when there is no feedback (offer/rejection) by the uni till a particular date (around May 6) , it automatically marks those as unsuccessful. Is a scenario not possible that the uni’s have not responded or updated the track due to some oversight?

Just trying to understand the process.

[wisey9]

Just got an offer from UEA only sent it off last thursday woooo

[Jivi]

I haven't sent my application yet, I noticed people had applied for joint courses i.e. I saw someone applied for History and Politics. I was just wondering how people found writing their personal statement when they were applying for more than one course?
Thanks

If you are applying for joint at all your unis you just write it exactly the same and make sure you include both subjects equally.

Yes - if you apply through a school/college the advisers can check out what's happening to their applicants, but they can't directly look at your Track.

Are international applicants with non A level courses typically evaluated later than domestic applicants with A levels? Many A level applicants got offers already but for the same course and same uni, no feedback for EU/Intl applicants. EU applicants are in the same 'group' as Home applicants. There is a specific quota of places for Home/EU applicants, and none for internationals. So unis can take as many international applicants as they like - but will usually wait and see what the general standard is like before making decisions (except about the obvious offer material and obvious rejections).

UCAS track states that when there is no feedback (offer/rejection) by the uni till a particular date (around May 6) , it automatically marks those as unsuccessful. Is a scenario not possible that the uni’s have not responded or updated the track due to some oversight? Theoretically possible, but unlikely.

Fair enough.

What's happening to their applicants means? offers/rejections ??
