    Re: Waiting for Lancaster
    (Original post by benpeyton)
    Hi I'm new to the forum and have searched the site and managed to find some threads on gaining offers from lancaster but none for my particular course which is Accounting and Management studies (NN24) I'm getting kind of worried now that they don't even run that course at all. Has anybody received an offer for this course at lancaster? Any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks
    Ben
    I've also applied to the same course and haven't received a decision yet. Don't worry too much about it, they have until the end of March to reply, so they could just be taking the full time they are allowed to consider applications.

    Hope you get an offer soon

    At least you've made an impression! They'll remember you over other applicants, think of it that way. ^_^

    Haha, thanks. It was possibly the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me in a while though.
    Oh well, I have an offer anyway so I'm pretty pleased.

    My UCAS stated that I was predicted ABC & Distinction. Have received offers at Southampton (AAB), Essex (ABB), Oxford Brookes (BBB) & Plymouth (260 UCAS pts.). Bit of a mixed bag of unis I know. Only waiting for Lancaster now but they are taking an age to reply, seeing as I applied on 25-November Hopefully it will be soon. Is Lancaster the only one you're waiting for as well?

    Would like to go to Southampton if I get the right grades. Haven't been to see any of them yet but I might arrange to go on a few of my visit days, as I wouldn't like to just turn up on the start date and move in like some people are planning to do

    Me! I already have an offer though, but for now I am thinking of putting Lancaster as my insurance. Haven't really decided on that as I am still waiting on more universities!

    Heyy, defo gonna be firming Lancaster, I applied for English Literature and Creative Writing and I went to the open day last wednesday and the University looked great!

    AAA offer though... I'm hoping I can get that, but how leniant do you think they'll be if I mess up on one of exams? Like I got AAC at AS last year and even though I don't think I'll do as badly as a C this year, it's perfectly possible that I end up with a B... D:
    When I visited Lancaster they told me that last year they didn't compromise on any applicants this was a huge demotivator but I applied aniway coz I though it was worth the risk not heard back yet but hopefully I wil
