I'm still waiting for replies from my two unis, spending every day jumping every time I get a new email and checking UCAS every 5 minutes, it's killing me!
It is hideous the way they just send you an email saying something has changed on your UCAS account without saying what. You just end up having to drop everything and log into UCAS.

I don't know if my pain is better or worse, I'm waiting to hear directly from the unis as I'll need to go in for interviews and a portfolio review. If I get a UCAS email I'll know it's game over.
I was supposed to hear "early next week" which is this week and end of Tuesday, not a word. I might die of heart failure due to the stress of waiting!
Meanwhile I'm unemployed and not sure if I should be applying for summer temps/term-time part-time jobs or full-time permanent. I feel like I'm sort of in purgatory............

I know I'm obsessed with checking my UCAS. Like you, if I get an update, it's game over for this year :-(

At last! News! Wimbledon asked me to submit an online portfolio on Friday and they confirmed receipt, just waiting to hear back.
This afternoon I received an email asking me to an interview at CSSD next week. So happy, that's my first choice. Cutting it fine though, 2 days before decisions have to be made and submitted to UCAS.
So hoping one of them gives me an offer

Well done FelineCostumier!
My first post on TSR! It's great to see other older medics and fellow mature students here following our passions! I'm 40+ and about to start my second year of medicine!
All the best of luck to us all!

Not 28 yet (26 actually) but just finished a Bachelor's with the OU, hoping to do a Master's in the US this October and fingers crossed Graduate-Entry Medicine in 2013.

Awesome, where do you study?
I got in 
So happy, I start on October 8th and apparently my course is youngster heavy, I think I'm going to be the oldest. Not in the least bit bothered though, just thrilled to be going at all!

I was 31 when I started studying for a degree in 2005, and I am now graduating with a second degree in November. I studied both degrees part-time cos I have been working full-time for the NHS for 10 years now and have a wife and child to support.

How did you find it? I'll be 32 and 2 day when I start this September. I want to be quite involved in student life but I know I have a more mature look on life and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way towards them.
