    I just called them there they are saying it's because my application was late!!!

    I sent my UCAS form on 14th and my tutor sent the ref on 16th and they are saying they did not receive the form until 23rd???

    The second I came of the phone I had a response to my email basically confirming what the phone call said so I have replied with the email below because I am really frustrated that i spent so much time on my application only to be penalised due to my reference being a day late

    Hi Kate

    Thanks for your reply. I submitted my application on 14th January and I have the email her from UCAS that says so. I then received an email to say that my tutor sent in my reference on 16th January so why did the form not come to you until 23rd? Surely it's not fair to penalise the applicants because the referee sends the reference forms in late?

    I am very disappointed as I was really hoping to get at least an interview this year and took a lot of time filling in my application. Does this mean there is no chance of us getting any kind of offer on this occassion?

    Regards

    Louise

    I figure now i've nothing to lose so might as well query it lol

    Shampoo I applied to both Magee and QUB. although I live in Belfast the fact that Magee isn't 5 days a week was swaying me more towards going there as it means I would have the extra couple of days at home. My sons starting big school in Sept so would have been ideal. I don't hold out much hope for getting into QUB as I heard they got 1700 applicants for 400 places xx

    I am not sure but I just hope it is found to be their fault and some exception can be made lol I am really gutted it's went this way I mean surely if it takes UCAS weeks to send applications the deadline should be 2 weeks befire it actually is and also if ref hold things up then tutor should have said that so we could send her the form 2 weeks prior to when we did.

    Best of luck with your application anyway I will keep my fingers crossed for you keep us posted x

    Well I phoned the faculty office again there now - the emails (not letters) will be sent out in the middle of next week at the earliest.

    Another bleeding week to wait. Lol

    Good luck everyone :-)
