It took Newcastle about 3 and a half weeks to give me an offer.

I had mine on the 9th Nov and I'm still waiting so I wouldn't expect a reply for a week at least.


Was this for Imperial? I had mine on the 9th too and my offer came in today! We could have been same room and not even known, that's madness haha

I've also got a Cambridge interview on Monday and I'm scared af for it. Have you got any tips for preparing?

How's your gap year going?

Bath were pretty quick for me, less than a week I think? But I submitted my application in October so it would probably be longer now

What are you predictions, I'm guessing 3 A*s, just a hunch.

I haven't been rejected from imperial yet so there's that.

Well done!! What's your offer?

Good luck haha, mine's next Thursday. What college did you end up applying to?
Just remember to speak out loud your faults. It's alright to make silly mistakes and interviewers will know you're nervous (I said that there were 60 seconds in an hour last year :lol:) but don't let it phase you and keep going.
As far as prep, as long as you've kept up with your normal work, you should be fine. Honestly, they don't expect you to have revised hours for it and the prep usually doesn't help much anyway. Treat it as a supervision, the interviewers will try make it fun and keep you relaxed.

My gap year is going well thanks. Time seems to have passed so quickly. Can't believe it's almost Christmas hahaha

A*A*AA, tbh after saying the density of water was 55.5 (I was thinking about the concentration lool) I thought I was gonna get rejected 😂

Ah, that seems OK then, I feel like I should go over some of the further maths I put on my SAQ (WHY DID I MENTION HYPERBOLIC FUNCTIONS) but apart from that I feel totally unprepared haha.

I feel like after Christmas, the year goes so fast, not long until May :frown:( (ofc you have nothing to worry about haha)

Fair enough. It's reasonable that the 3 subject offers should have a higher grade requirement than the 4 subject ones as the additional workload of an extra subject is huge, especially when it's a "hard" subject like FM/Phy/Bio.
