Hi,
I've submitted an application for Theoretical Physics and am studying Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Further Maths, and have an EPQ.
Currently panicking about replies but hey I guess I just have to wait :smile:

Hey @asqwdfrgthjk
There is absolutely no need to worry.
Universities usually wait for most of the applications to process in before reviewing and replying as to being more fair.
When I had applied for my undergrad, some universities got back to me in a few days where as some didnt get back to me by january.

since there is nothing more you can do at the moment, I would just suggest you relax and focus on your final year :smile:

Hope this helps,

Hello everyone, welcome to the official discussion thread for students considering applying to @Lancaster University for 2024 entry! You can chat with other applicants, and see if you can find someone who could be applying to the same course as you <3! Also, let us know what A Levels you are taking and why you want to apply to this uni!! :smile:

Hi, thinking of applying for Economics at Lancaster. Do you know if Lancaster makes reduced grade offers if they are put down as first choice on the UCAS application? Some other universities are offering this and I was wondering if Lancaster might do the same.

Went to Reading open day last weekend and they said that for Economics, they would give a reduced grade offer if you were to make them your first choice.

Hi there,

Thank you for your question.

It would be best to contact the economics department to enquire about this. Here is the link for all the contacts for Economics https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lums/contact-us/#d.en.333351.

From my personal experience, when I applied to Lancaster back in 2020, I was offered reduced grades if I put Lancaster down as my first choice. However, this was for a non Economics-related course so it’s best to check with the department :smile:

@asqwdfrgthjk [br] [br] Ah physics is a great choice. Although I might be biased as a physics student myself. If you have any questions about Lancaster physics feel free to ask!

When my daughter applied for physics, particle physics and cosmology back in 2020, it was about 4-5 weeks before she heard anything, then week later was interview and couple of days after that she got the offer. Also did the same alevels + epq :smile:

Guess we might be the same person! What topic was her EPQ on? Mine was on sustainability and renewable energy resources.
Glad to get an idea of timescales - I don't really know anyone who applied for physics

Hi!
I am not a physics student so I am not really versed with the system however if you want, you could go on the Ask A Student platform and actually have a chance to talk with different physics students currently studying at Lancaster about their application experience and it may have some relevance to you.
I will leave the link here for you.

Her EPQ was on particle physics :smile:

She did a work experience at notts uni and fell in love with that side of physics. :smile:
