you could get offers anytime between now and January, so I wouldn't panic.

I could get offers between now and May. I'm not panicking. I'm just not patient.

Southampton are really fast. I knew someone who got an offer the same day as she applied, and I received an offer yesterday having applied on Wednesday. :biggrin:

Over the past couple of years, some universities have started using automated replies (I don't know more than that, I'm afraid) to send out offers to people who have got through the filtering system, so things are much quicker in some cases than they used to be. I'm guessing here that it's done for courses which are not very reliant on the ps and of course, they can't be courses which use interviews or portfolios to select. Courses like maths would be prime candidates.

I don't know any more than I've said. Of universities who do it the old fashioned way, Manchester's history and politics department is the fastest in my experience over the last ten years or so,

As are yours! I seriously considered Manchester, Liverpool and Cardiff, but in the end, I didn't love the modules quite as much.

I considered Warwick because of it's international reputation, but didn't apply because their entry requirements for computing are way too high :biggrin:

(higher than that for Sheffield abd Manchester) and I don't want to lose Sheffield and Manchester because of Warwick (that damn firm-insurance thing, I'll insure either Cardiff or QUB if I manage to get a conditional)
I'm really considering Warwick IFP though, I can move onto unis like Imperial and UCL after doing the program :smile:

I love Warwick because they have some really interesting modules. Plus I feel the university has a ton to offer. It's pretty much a tie between them and Nottingham for my top pick. Though Notts is the one I keep going back to! Have you visited any of your choices?

I think it will depend on the uni's process. Some universities ask for interviews, some thoroughly read personal statements, some wait until the January deadline especially if they are getting a lot of mixed offers and feel they aren't ready to reject, some even ask for an interview even when they say they will normally just look at your application for example, I know that York who say at their open evenings (because they said it while I was there a few weeks ago) that they don't give out interviews yet I know someone who has been given an interview probably because they fell short on their PS or grades for I think Spanish or French so yeah.

I applied on 19th for CS AND STILL WAITING!! I'm a non-EU student. Why are they taking it so long I don't understand :frown:

Went to Liverpool open day last Saturday and they said they hadn't even started looking at the undergraduate applications yet, but when they do start you should hear after around 10 days

Yeah it's really nice and the on campus accommodation it gorgeous!(little expensive though) I live an hour or two away so I've visited the city before, but it's still lovely.
Probably be my insurance, as much as I like it the low offer grades put me off a little.
Have you been?
