    I'm not exactly sure what a certified copy of my academic certificates and transcripts would exactly entail :\

    I haven't heard much from them! A bit nervous considering I would have liked to have heard something by now.
    Did you apply through UCAS or through their website? I applied through UCAS and was quite worried about what they would think of my recommendation, considering that on their website they wanted a mailed in copy!

    I was considering doing that but I thought it would be easier for me to apply through UCAS rather than doing it separately - I did email them beforehand though making sure it was alright. They said it was so hopefully I don't need to have to send them anything additional!
    When did you send in your application?

    The reason I applied directly because UCAS only allows 5 choices, might aswell use up all of UCAS.
    Techniaclly I haven't sent it off tho I sent my reference first week of Jan I think.

    Ah, you see I couldn't think of a fifth choice so I just added Buckingham to UCAS!
    I sent in my UCAS around that time actually. Do you know when we should expect a decision from Buckingham?

    Ah, fair enough! I hope it is sooner than later! But then again, I'd wait a little bit longer if I was certain it was good news

    Nice Good luck with your application and such! Will Buckingham be one of the choices you'd most like to go to, or?

    Probably not; it's tiny and only two years.
