congrats. how long did it take between the time you submitted to UCAS and the time you got the offers (congrats on 100% btw)? my son got his admission to Liverpool in about a week, but we swapped it to Southampton before the 14-day deadline. Maybe that was a mistake, we will see. Which uni will you choose? Bristol seems to be the most competitive, but the infrastructure, labs and the rest seem really dated there (compared to Bath, for example). we also like Sheffield but not enough choices available unfortunately.

I submitted UCAS application 20 days ago exactly! It can vary significantly depending on the university. I asked to change my Southampton Aerospace Masters specialisation and that resulted in my offer from Soton being last so I received that decision last! I am thinking of firming Bristol and insuring Southampton but I am very stuck between Bristol, Southampton and Sheffield so I wish your the son the best of luck! :smile:

Wow, well done! That must be a great feeling you have right now lol. Good luck with your decision, I don't know how I am going to choose if I do get offers back because they are really quite good unis lol.

I changed one of my uni choices just before I submitted, changing Durham to Loughborough and I woke up yesterday morning to an offer from them which was quite nice. At least I have a backup choice now if all goes wrong. I also got a response from Bristol but I was put on hold which is annoying but it's better than a rejection lol.

thanks for the answer. reading between the line, are you actually applying to specialized masters? my son is only applying to undergrad. that difference might also explain the time of response (I suppose). in any case, yes, having to choose between these 3 is not easy. on paper, Bristol has a better international reputation (for aerospace) than the 2 others. for the UK alone, they are all very much fine. Keep us posted on your choice and your reasoning behind it, always interested in learning from successful candidates like you!

Sheffield have offered me a place now too! They are coming in now quite quickly, loughborough was only a couple of days ago lol.

Yeah Bristol would be amazing, will have to wait until January though I think as thats when they usually respond to those who are on hold.

Awh thank you so much! Yes I applied for an integrated masters as its just way more easier too as if you miss the entry requirements for masters for most of my courses they’ll accept you onto their Bachelor course for a lower entry requirement so its a win win

I was put on hold for Bristol but I am predicted the same as you and in GCSE I got three 9s and the rest were 8s with one 6 in French (hand in face) lol. I also got an A in AS further Maths which hopefully might count for something!

I applied to BEng for Sheffield as I wanted it to be another backup choice and at the open day they said that I could easily change onto the MEng course at the end of the first year as everyone does the same modules. Therefore the grade requirements were slightly lower being AAB.

Could I have an update pls OP? Was predicted the same as you and got rejected but they transferred me to electrical successfully. Now switched my attention to Southampton which I got offered already

Unfortunately they told me it’s impossible to switch courses back now but they have a page dedicated to it so I’m not sure why

Yeah I got rejected too and they did the same thing offering a different course which was electrical but I didn't accept it because I didn't like the look of the course.

What do you mean by you wanting to switch courses back?
