    The university wide posting date for decision letters is tomorrow, Wednesday 4th January. So technically no one should have one yet.

    EDIT: to the people negging me, I was replying to another thread asking when offers would start coming in that got merged with this 'Decisions Chat' thread, I wasn't just being a smartarse

    EDIT 2: Got an offer, A*AAa Can't believe it.

    Offers are not out yet.

    EDIT: To save myself and the above poster from being negged, this thread was originally concerned with somebody inquiring about offers which had been given out already (of which, of course, there are none). Craghyrax just decided to make this the 'official' offer thread for some reason.

    I keep telling myself that I only have to wait 2 or 3 more days but, knowing my luck, my postman won't deliver the letter for about a week D:

    Can''t truly wait for tomorrow/ the day after that. But yeah, decisions are released tomorrow, so this post should be delayed until 5th...

    Depends on your college, but most of them seems to send out an email tomorrow.

    Hmmm... I applied to Emmanuel for Computer Science.

    I guess if Emmanuel does send an e-mail, then I'll have my decision within the next couple of days.

    But if I have to wait for UCAS Track or the mail they send by post, then it will probably take one or two weeks (or so I have heard).

    Not necessarily. My email just came. Yikes. :clap2:

    I haven't opened it, though. I'm not awake enough yet. Gotta brace myself first...

    But if I open it, whatever it says, my next few hours will be completely screwed over, and I was just about to go out on a lunch date. I'd be a gibbering idiot. (Or is it "blathering idiot?" Well, I'd be one of those.)

    Nah, I'm going to wait until I'm good and braced.

    Ha-ha, Cambridge email! You cannot play mind games with me! Back, back into your cage!

    How very cruel it would be if the content of the email was "This is an email to notify you that we will be sending an email to you tomorrow. Have a nice day!"

    It's for real.

    :ahee:

    It's an offer.

    :woo:

    Holy cow.

    Don't mind me, I'm just going to be sitting over here in the corner stunned for a little while. Wow. Um, wow...

    (Being an English applicant, I should probably use more eloquent language, but my brain is mostly thinking, "Weeee!")

    Congratulations! Put it in this thread and have the (superficial) honour of being the first 2012 applicant on TSR to be responded to.

    Now I should leave this thread, I'm far too old.
