Track checkers not so anonymous!

I'm from Boston in the US! I'm trying (and failing) to be patient.

I'm from DC! You're the first person I've seen who's also from the Northeast!

I got an offer from Edinburgh about a week after I applied in Physics. Just hang on! I guess you're applying to another school, so it could be different, but still, you'll be fine!

Omg there are so many Americans haha! I'm from Cleveland and I got an offer from Edinburgh for economics and mathematics about 3 weeks after I sent my application. Good luck! :smile:

Thanks! Econ and Math sounds really cool!

I've seen a lot of Americans, but not many from the West Coast. I wonder why that is... Surely it's not just because it's farther for them? Part of the reason why I'm applying to the UK is *because* it's so far from home.

I think it's just not as prevalent there. Here, we have college fairs British Universities visit, and we have them visiting our schools themselves. I thin distance honestly is a big part of it. The difference between someone from the northeast going to the UK and someone from Cali going to the UK is huge. I mean, that's a tremendous distance, and plane tickets would be extremely expensive. Part of my agreement with my parents is that I would only visit home once a year because of travel costs, and I'm nowhere near as far away as someone from the West Coast.

I agree! Manchester emailed me asking for my transcripts. I'm not sure if that's good though.

I'm from NC. Well originally upstate NY. I completely understand the patience dilemma.

I would consider any news that is not a rejection to be good :smile:

I'm in northern New Jersey! :tongue:

It seems like this thread is being taken over by Americans. I'm quite surprised there are so many applicants from the US. People have given me the most wildest looks when I tell them that I applied to universities in UK.

Excusing my ignorance but why is studying in the UK so popular/appealing to overseas applicants? Just curious :smile:

With Sheffield and Newcastle I got an email from UCAS saying my track had updated but with Leeds I got an email from the university and then my track didn't update for a few days! So if I were you I'd just wait for an email instead of panicking yourself with track :smile:
