True...but I still don't mind the waiting (too much, that is. I'd rather wait lots and get lots of offers than not wait and get a bunch of rejections). Checking track has become my new hobby...it gives me something to do. :rolleyes:

(How lame).

my track is so depressing . . . :frown:

Aw! If you check it enough though, you kinda get used to it. At first, the little 'Unsuccesful' next to Cambridge really bugged me...but now...I can look at it without my heart sinking.

I hate looking at track now. I'm getting incredibly fed up of waiting. I've actually turned off email updates so that I can reduce the number of updates. The worst one though is UCL. I could either hear from them through UCAS (offer w/o interview/or rejection). Thus, I am checking the post like mad!

I can't believe that I could still be checking UCAS track during study leave!

Except, when I check track now, its out of fear; I fear those grey letters are going to pop up next to LSE . . . its not hope of an offer; its trepidation of a rejection. I now dread checking my track.

I know I'm checking track too often when:

•

I know even the track password by heart

•

I can't help checking on Sundays even when I know nothing could have changed

•

I check twice in the space of 10 minutes

I knew the password within a day; and regularly do the other two. Is that wrong?

As far I can see Warwick have made a large number of offers and then rejected everyone apart from a core of people with 7A*+. I only know of a few exceptions- e.g. myself. I have a feeling I only got an offer sooner because my form teacher- in light of a girl with 1a* etc getting an offer first- rang them to complain. I could be wrong of course though, but doubt it! My gut feeling- based on the overall high quality of those waiting for Warwick is that they will all get offers.

Whilst not wanting to rain on the parade of those with offers, I feel that those waiting on TSR- e.g. Lillith and Emily- are amongst the strongest applicants nationally, so clearly their admissions process is quite tactical.

Well yes, but tactical in that they hope those with offers feel a greater sense of achievement than they should, and the hope that those with Cam offers etc, decline them and thus reduce the number of offers they make which makes them look like a more competitive course. My form teacher says such games are quite common with top unis.

I personally think it sucks.

I think law admissions suck in general
