SOAS Applicants Thread 2014

Well, they say good things come to those who wait. I hope it's a case that we get unconditional offers

Me too! I feel a bit pessimistic at the moment, the letter kind of got my hopes up a bit but I think it's just the silly way they worded it ... UCAS has maintenance at the worst time haha

Yeah I know what you mean mate. I wonder when we'll get a reply for our bridging course lol. UCAS down from 18:00 right? Not back up until Monday morning, it's a pain, let's hope by the next time we log in we've got ourselves an offer

It would be unbelievably horrendous of them to send out letters like that if they aren't actually going to accept you guys!!!! Though I think they've at least got to be viewing your applications favorably if they're writing to you.

How come SOAS are not replying to people offering them a place or rejecting them?

Is the university that poor in communcaiton? Why are they so slow...every other university seem to manage

They're a very small Uni and I've heard they're admin staff are indeed studying themselves (most likely post-grad)

To be fair to them, anyone who managed to submit their application before 15th of January have all received replies, mine unfortunately was sent of late by my college, everyone else in my college seems to have had a reply.

is it very hard to get into SOAS?

I would like to study Law but didnt apply LOL

Hope they are in clearing this year!

Hey

Are you at SOAS right now?

May i ask do you know what they are like with re-sits? Do they take candidates that have resat exams and want to study Law?

Congrats!

Japanese in SOAS is my firm too!c:

Awesome! How was your first year experience at SOAS? How did you find the teaching? Did you feel prepared enough for your year abroad? When did you have to leave to go and how have you found it so far?
*Bombardment of questions over*

I don't think it's difficult to get into SOAS provided you have the required grades and most importantly your Personal Statement is written at a very high standard. From the numerous times I've been to SOAS, all the staff and students have emphasised the importance of the Personal Statement. Of course, like a few people I still await a reply from them. In terms of clearing, you can only hope

Have you received an email today? I got a provisional acceptance onto the bridging course and they said they will send final details in August.. They didn't add it was dependant on a place so this gets my hopes up again haha

I have provisionally reserved a place and we will contact you again in August with programme details and a final booking confirmation form for you to complete and return.

Anyone else get an e-mail from sanctuary management today about places at Dinwiddy House. I wasn't offered a place and now I have to wait until the second round of offers on August 01st which are basically the few places left after people have rejected their offer. Anyone know how they decide who gets a place and who doesn't?

Has any international student received a CAS yet? How long did it take after you firmed your unconditional?

I have. Got my offer in Jan,received CAS last month.I guess it depends on the time that students apply for Visa(2 months before starting date of the programme) and does not depend on when you have firmed.
