When can we expect responses from different universities?

I did early entry, and I've already got an acceptance from Birmingham. I've heard that KCL doesn't reply until after January, and that there's a day in January that Oxford gives all its replies, but reports on UCL and Durham are mixed. What should my expected range be?

For Durham you should expect within 6-8 weeks of sending your application and for UCL you should hear by Feb - April whether you have got an interview.

There is no way of telling. It depends on the numbers applying in each university for your course. If they dont expect to get more applicants than places they will answer quickly. If they expect to have more applicants than places they put on hold until after the equal consideration deadline and work through them between then and May. Durham can be very slow.

Yes, this is a valid point

Any time between now and next April.

Stop checking your emails - you will drive yourself nuts.
It doesnt matter when you get an offer - its isnt a beauty contest, and it isnt 'first one to get an offer is the winner'.
