Heard nothing from St Andrews

I've applied to St Andrews for History well before the UCAS deadline but haven't had so much as an auto-email from them since. Is this a bad sign? When is the latest I could reasonably expect to get an offer from them? I've heard from all the other unis I've applied to, but St A's is the one I most want to go to, and not a peep

It is rather odd that you received no email acknowledging your application as myself and many others did. The email was only a confirmation but I would contact them and confirm your application was received (if you haven't done so already that is).

I applied on the deadline (Jan 15) for French and Russian and i haven't had a decision, should I be worried?

I wouldn't worry too much, I applied for German and Russian and still haven't heard. On their website it says 'we aim to make all decisions by 31st March' so I wouldn't worry until after then :P

Oh good thankyou. Are you thinking of maybe firming St Andrew's if you get an offer? A while ago I saw someone on the 'ask a student thread' thread for St Andrew's and they were asking if they could change from Russian to another a course because they found the classes way too big and too fast-paced. The library at st Andrews is a bit rubbish too apparently, even though it's just been refurbished. Apart from that I do/did really want to go...

I'm not sure as I really fell for Bristol when I visited last week, such a difficult decision :/ maybe, depends if I even get an offer haha, how about you? Oh really, so you've visited? I met a guy at the Nottingham visit day who applied there for the same course as me and he withdrew because he found the department unorganized and was annoyed at the wait. We should get offers just for patience :P

Yay! you applied to Bristol too I wanted to visit there but I emailed them to say that I couldn't make it (Manchester's day/interview was on the same day ) they haven't got back to me- I really need to sort that out . yeah, i went in October i do like the town and I think I would like it because of it's small size and the students seemed nice (two strangers randomly stopped to help with directions/advice-one of them said that there scottish friend did French in first year and she found it hard). I only met a French lecturer who was likeable and a Spanish one who even recommended Bath to me I know it is a bit of a long wait, I sort of like that they wait a while to make a decision and it doesn't matter when you applied you still get offers around the same time. I'd like to actually hear something from them though!

I'm in the same position - applied in mid-November and still waiting to hear back from St Andrews (for French/German/Spanish). Hopefully today will be the day - it's my first choice and the only uni I'm waiting to hear back from. Getting so stressed as some of my friends have started to hear back! Congratulations on your offer, hannah_lou!
