I never did received an acknowledgement from RHUL, but have just received an email (in my junk folder!) about the submission of a creative writing portfolio by the 10th December. :smile:

Out of interest has anyone received any English offers yet?

I sent my application off 4 weeks ago as of this Wednesday, but they didn't acknowledge it till two weeks after..
Hopefully the 'we aim to reply in 4 weeks' applies to when I sent it, constantly checking their tracking website 😅😅

Hiya!
I haven't heard about anyone receiving offers for English yet :frown:

What is their tracking website? Is this like their own portal? How do you log on to it? :smile:

It's just a single webpage, not an actual site like some of the others. In my confirmation email they gave me a student number to use as login, but you can also use your UCAS number you've already been issued and use for UCAS track.
It's just called Royal Holloway Status Checker :smile:

Hope this helps!

SAME I love RH so much! It's my second choice! :-) My others are Sheffield (offer ABB), Cambridge (interview already, since international!), Exeter, and Warwick! I really wanted to try out KCL but then the cost of living in London PLUS international fees were too much ahahah

They did the same with me, I guess they might not have that many applications for geography yet so they can deal with each one really quickly :smile:

what are your predicted grades, if you don't mind me asking?

I know, I've come across very few people who are applying for geography. I didn't sit my AS exams as I was in hospital so I'm sitting AS and A2 together this year but I'm predicted A*AA (and an A in EPQ) where else are you applying? :smile:
