    I got an offer for diagnostic radiography with a much lower overall 56 and 43 percentile, if you haven't got an offer today, most likely tomorrow
    thanks very much for the reply are you going to do diagnostic then? or have you had other offers?

    No problem! :P

    When I first applied I was really pumped for diagnostic radiography, went to the UUJ open day and really liked what I was seeing. However due to my physics result in January, I have lost a bit of the motivation for it. :/ I am going to resit physics in June to try to bump up my grade. I've got other offers, tho I got rejected from Cardiff to do Diagnostic, my others aren't radiography related (Zoology, Biological Sci and Biomedical). Have got until June 5th to decide, though hoping to get offers firmed and insured before the deadline. :P

    Did UCAS not reply today then? :/ No reply doesn't mean rejection, just means Ulster are being slow at handing them out. I think no offers are sent after 5pm, though they should appear first thing in the morning! Is this your last offer to receive?

    Good luck!

    congrats i also got an offer for OT! which one are you going for?
    SLT, it was always going to be my first choice, I just didn't think that I would get in because there are so few places on the course!

    Sorry to hear that, it's unfortunate. The cut off for SLT is high because there are only 40 places, I guess you just missed out. Have you any other offers?

    Thanks and what about your insurance? I got 75th percentile but I honestly think its so silly the way they rely so much on the HPAT! I dont really know what to firm because I got an offer for therapeutic as well :/

    Might have Queen Margaret Edinburgh as my insurance but I don't know :/ yeah like its just their way of narrowing it down, like what does traveling (the second essay) have to do with allied health professions? You still have time to decide.

    Second time?! What did you do the first time?!
    Same here - very excited, but totally bricking it in equal amounts.

    I done Environmental Engineering about 10 yrs ago in Jordanstown, so a total change in direction. I'm not sure I'll get away with heading out on the beer now as much as I did the first time though...
