    Yesterday they told me it would be today or wednesday... which made me think it would be this afternoon but they just said wednesday so people don't keep asking when today it would be. Just a random theory though.

    Seems like a good theory, last time I got my message at 14:00 so they could update at the same time today ? Wait and see I guess!

    My theory is that they said today or Wednesday, but will keep us waiting until the end of the week anyway... Just a thought :P

    I'm trying to work on the assumption that it'll be Friday, because then I won't be so nervous about it today and tomorrow. It isn't really working...

    I was fed up so sent an email to them asking for advice on my mental well being. They simply said 'You may hear by the end of this week if you have been successful at the HR FSB if not I am afraid that you will have to wait until after the final HR FSB has taken place on the 18th May.'

    If I wasn't worried about it counting against me, I'd love to send them tonnes of emails about whether or not they think getting my cat to breathe on me would improve my chances at the FSB or if I could bring my dad along to the FSAC to watch.

    I am still thinking Friday - but people seem to be saying today or tomorrow. Pick and choose your expected date based on your state of mental wellbeing. :eek3:

    I'm a long, long time lurker here. I just wanted to say that whilst it is really horrible having to wait for so long. I am glad I am not the only one. Although I am not holding out too much hope right now as I think I screwed up on my FSAC. :eek:

    i think that going by previous announcements the message stating that results will be released by "XYZ" dissappears and then they release the results that day. Admittedly i have only had to wait in that situation once so perhaps that doesn't happen every time.

    The wait is going to be the death of me. I'm checking my email every five minutes waiting for an update. I think it's probably a character building excercise by the FS administrators, only those who survive the stress without a nervous break down will be accepted.

    I have to thank the regulars on here for keeping me sane during this ridiculously long wait! Think I may keel over from a heart attack before tomorrow at this rate...

    I've messaged the team today and got this reply:

    Thanks for your message.

    You should hear your results Friday this week.

    Regards

    Do you think they meant BY Friday??? Has anyone else been in touch with them today?

    I really hope you all hear very very soon!

    I'm applying for the fast stream this coming year, and so I am hoping this time next year I will be understanding your agony.

    Good luck, hope they tell you soon!
