It's been 20 days since I applied to Uni & only 1 of 4 got back. Is this bad?

UCAS

Hi there

Usually offers take between a few days and a few weeks to arrive. That being said, a lot of unis have waited until the UCAS deadline this year before starting to send out offers so it's perfectly normal to not have received them just yet. I would say that most offers will arrive by March although this will depend on the uni and the availability of your course. A lot of people are yet to receive a single offer so please don't worry about this as you are definitely not alone. Hope this helps

Best wishes

Come this Thursday, it would be FOUR months since my UCAS application was received by my universities! I am waiting for my final uni decision.

“Usually” ie the average time is 7 weeks

every application getting an offer within a few days or a few weeks means another application taking 3-4 months.

No, it’s totally normal. Unis have until 18 May to get back to you

But could the average time be less or more depending on how early it's submitted?
I feel like it takes longer to get back if you applied in September than January, because they want to see all their options.

Also, I'm interested in what you mean by, for every offer that takes a few days/weeks another takes 3-4 months.

Thank you

Oof. how about an offer to an interview? Surely it wouldn't come to long after you apply if the interviews part of the process?

Oh my god, I'm sorry lol.
Damn hope it doesn't take longer at this point.
But I bet I'd be in the same position as you if I applied earlier.
Does your course do interviews and r the school u applied to competitive?

Wonder why they do this.

No interviews but it does appear that the uni began consideration after the 25th Jan deadline. I have not seen anything for my course yet so have no idea when the decision would come. I sure hope I wouldn't be dragged out all the way till May. Seeing that some universities have already opened their student accommodation booking, it's making me a bit more worried.
