The big thread of questions about Track status

Its kind of useful but quite annoying if you start checking it alot. When it says "Your application has been forwarded to a college" then you are pretty likely going to get an offer.

How likely is pretty likely

i applied to Castle..and whilst at Oxford i kept hearing "yea..i was rejected from Durham last year..well obvs tbh..i applied to Castle which is the most oversubscribed..."

we wont be rejected on purely the basis of # of places @ Castle?

That can't happen, because it says in the prospectus that if the University and Department accept you but the College doesn't, the Dean of Admissions will force a college to take you. Basically if the department says yes, you're in.

I heard back in late November and apparently that was quite early. I know there are people on here who waited well into spring.

UCL didn't get back to me until late April, after the deadline. Their English department must be evil.

was it successful?
