But i think in most cases its good news

Sorry ladies for causing a panic. Today was told by a social work student and then checked it out, a batch of students received offers/unsuccessful's on the 23rd of April las year. Whilst Ucas have deadlines to be met, it's not unusual prospective students can find out beforehand.

Kerry I think it's quite acceptable to have another week of interviews if this is the case, I say this because I'm thinking that as we are all scored in terms of our applications, it may be the case that a first batch of offers can go out now, and then the week after the second. ? Again apologies for causing alarm. Best of luck everyone and I hope we are all class mates very soon...

Im just thinking that since they have to compare information and stuff.. the interviews didn't last as long last year which is probably why they found out sooner.
I think depending on the way they mark them sending out offers while there are still interviews could cause an issue if every person offered firmed it, yet people with a later interview did higher mark wise

Aw I hope so too!! lol!!It is definitely a possibility!! I hope your right!! (kinda :s-smilie:

)

Maybe the colleges will find out tomorrow, just like last year.....

I would love to find the 2011 SW thread to see what way their dates were, but can't seem to find it......

Yes, there are a few drawbacks, however based on the criteria being met, the universities may well be ready to make an offer to say 150 applicants who have met the requirements.

Im just thinking that the applicants who are yet to have an interview could do amazing therefore pushing everyone else down the chain which could mean a similar thing to what happened at UU last year were people got offers and then got changed

Kerry, I'm not sure that you have to worry about being borderline, essentially if you don't meet the requirements, you won't get an offer. My understanding is that if you don't meet them you get told very quickly. I'd say the list of potential students is well down to manageable numbers...

An example I can relate to, I know of a person who applied, had what i'd expect to be great knowledge and understanding and more, and by all accounts should be waiting on an offer.

I can't go into all the details, but this person got an unsuccessful...

so what I'm saying is, there won't be huge numbers left to interview, and I'd say loads of applicants know where they stand. To a large extent.

I've just been thinking about offers and places this past week really. At the minute in my head if I get an offer for queens this would be my first choice however I've been thinking that I'm not sure if il get the exact grades to get in and am a bit worried that if I accept and don't get the grades I won't have a place anywhere else as I will have declined. I was thinking to change my first choice to Belfast met just to be on the safe side and accept there if I get an offer. I won't find out my grades until late may so i would heart broken of I got an offer for queens, accepted it but didn't have the grades and then end up with a place no where. Any advice on this or should I stick to the safe option and go with bmc?

You can firm Queens and keep BMC as your insurance offer, this option will appear depending on the number of offers you receive. So you will decline 2 and keep 2 again depending on the number of places you applied to

Oh really I didn't know this at all. Thanks for letting me know. So basically I can accept queens and if I get the grades that's great however if I keep bmc as my insurance offer and don't make it to queens I can then accept bmc if there are enough places?

I think what you actually is firm both offers, you'll have your first choice and then the insurance offer. Not sure it based on places being available. Additional places only become available I suspect when people, A) make their choices and B) get the grades, or not get the grades as the case may be.

Ok great that's helped a lot. It is def possible if I get an offer to get the grades for queens however some modules this year are more nursing based which I am finding difficult to get the high grades in. As long as I can have back up if I end up not getting the grades is good news to me
