Anyone else still awaiting a reply from OB?

CrazyPerson

I am seeing people who keep posting that they have been given offers, I'm very jealous. :unimpressed:

Is anyone else still waiting on a reply via UCAS?
(Please tell me I'm not the only one. :eek:

)

If so,
a) When did you send of your UCAS?
b) What course did you apply to do?

I sent off my UCAS just before Christmas and applied for Joint Honors: Human Bioscience and Anthropology.

So it could be the joint honours that they are taking their time with. I wish they'd hurry up!!!
Not even four weeks left!!! :afraid:

Well actually it could well be because it's joint honourable actually. Thinking about it now, maybe both departments are tryin to work out/communicate an offer or so.

I applied for Anthropology at OB and like you I'm still waiting. I just thought it was because I'm a mature student (at the grand old age of 23!).

I called the uni last week and got told they hadn't made a decision yet....I sent my application in December!

Please let me know if you hear anything, it's the only one I'm waiting on!

I will do.
I'm going to ring them next Monday. I'll just give them some spiel about needing to know where im going for my job, as i want to transfer it, and as this place is my firm i kinda need to know.

Just wish they'd make a decision soon. :please:

Deffo think they need more people working on the UCAS/admin for OB. :work:

Don't they realise how many people it is driving insane? :shock:

MAN! its really annoying! I mean, if they I just hope they reach a decision soon. I'm very impatient!! Maybe they use some kind of elimination process which might mean that were in the final stages?? I don't know any more I just keep thinking of different reasons as to why they're taking so long.

12th October? that's almost 2 months before I sent mine. This truly is annoying because I know a girl who's has been to an interview there and has received an offer already. I have accepted the fact that they will reject me or maybe not even give me an answer and that way UCAS will have to do it on their behalf. Still, I keep thinking... its been a while, if they really didn't want us wouldn't have they rejected us already. I did read in one thread that the administration office at OB was quite bad despite them being a pretty good uni!

Good luck to you all! :biggrin:

let me know if they get back you or not.

I want to know why Universities are allowed to not give you a reply.

The time and effort each person has put into the UCAS form, the personal statement. And it's people's lives they're messing with, people's futures.

They owe us a bloody reply. :unimpressed:

Indeed. Thing is I really like the look of OB, even if it is my insurance choice. I just wanna select offers, apply for finance and accommodation for my firm as soon as possible. ._.

Haha it is true though. We have put lots of effort into our applucation just so we can impress them. Well i did but im pretty sure im not just speaking for myself here! I knos there are thousands of applicants so the least they owe us is a reply regardless of what they decide! Which is why im calling on monday! All i am asking for is a decision not even to be accepted(though its would be awesome if i did!)!!!!

Oh they will be busy! I find deeply disrespectful actually. I read on UCAS that unis should aim to give offers or rejections by the end of march but they may take longer. If it reaches a point where they are just not replying UCAS will reject the applicant on the uni's behalf! at first i though it was just me at first... but i see you guys and lots of other people on the "Oxford Brookes 2012" thread also in the same position. so its quite a lot of people. Obv were not half of the population but this is peoples lives and emotions they playing with. some people are actually really affected by this!
