Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

feeling pretty rubbish now

Me and a close friend have both applyed to york for Mmath. I fell in love with the place and it IS my number one choice!

I sent my application about 2 week before my friends', who sent his about half a week a go, and got an offer today =]
Pretty much seems like they don't want me for some reason? =[

*sigh*

Completely doesn't mean you're not in. Just keep waitin', as hard as it is. I didn't hear from them til January, and knew people had already had offers. Keep on truckin'!!

How do they manage to give someone who applied after you... an offer first :rolleyes:

For different subjects I can see it, but I don't undstand how it can happen when it's the same subject

Surely they look at them in order? :confused:

Not necessarily, but they also don't give out the majority of their offers til the deadline in January. They sometimes do a batch quite early on, of people they definitely definitely want, and then search through the rest when all the applications have come through.

Don't worry :hugs:

- in the case of the UCAS application, I'd say no news is good news :smile:

Simple. They have better qualifications or experience than him.

That doesn't mean you won't get an offer. Sometimes there doesn't seem to be much correlation between when you send your application and when you get a reply.

I wouldn't worry tbh - have you got similar grades? If your friend's are higher perhaps they're just taking slightly longer to decide on you. If they're similar then whatever is taking them so long - you'll probably get an offer too :smile:

Wow: Ditto to the OP abuot York!

I feel as if my application has been discarded in a 'decide later' pile. I would like an offer, but I'm ot feeling to down about it as, as people have said, no news isn't bad news.

A girl on here who sent her application after me got an offer from leicester before me and my grades are better all round. So it doesn't mean much it just when they get round to doing it.

Should never get attached to a university before you get your offers and rejections. tut tut.
