Mine took 3 weeks then I got 2 responses at once from Liverpool and Bath
My friend got all 5 responses, idk where, in 24 hours

I think Warwick were the first to respond to me then Southampton. I sent mine off before the end of October, if I recall correctly, and I think Warwick responded within 6 weeks.
It's very tempting to sit refreshing Track all day, but you're better off waiting for the post as I think all my choices sent me a letter inviting me to come visit them (sometimes for interview, but usually not) and then they sent the offer a few days after that.

It depends on your course as well as the unis you apply to as well- some won't look at any applications until after the deadline. I put my application into ucas on 30th, by 11am the next day I had two offers (Newcastle and Liverpool biomed masters). It was unexpectedly early, and I don't think that's the norm (not to say I wasn't pleased! :smile: )But then I have friends that put theirs in earlier and they're better students, but haven't heard anything back because their unis won't look at their applications yet. Hope this wasn't too irrelevant, it's probably more useful to hear from people who applied last year. Good luck! :smile:

Think I sent mine off around this time last year :smile:
Three (Liverpool Uni, Cumbria Uni and Derby Uni) all got back within a few weeks of me sending off my UCAS :smile:
The last two (Robert Gordon in Aberdeen and Queen Margaret in Edinburgh) waited until UCAS was closed. Think for RGU it was a few days after UCAS closed in January, and QMU waited until about April. :smile:

Think it just depends on what course and which universities you apply for, too, as a lot of my friends heard back from all five within a few weeks :smile:

2/the other 4 (cambridge,birmingham) have sent me a welcome letter and the other 2 (bah london unis Imperial and UCL) have ignored me so far. I applied a few days ago for comp sci.
A day. Pretty jealous of TVIO's record though.
