How long should you leave it, after no reponse, before following your app up to them?

Give them over Christmas, so early January, then maybe phone just to make sure they have received it. As you say, if a uni/department never sends acknowledgements it's not a worry ... but if they have to others, you might just want to make sure your application hasn't been lost in cyber-space. :p:

Because I'm around, have the time and, sometimes, I like to think I can give good advice. :wink:

Maybe she just likes being helpful. Fortunately the advice she gives is consistently good. :smile:

Don't really have anything to add to it, to be honest.

I wasn't scrutinising her, if that's what you think. :biggrin:

Infact, she seems to be more helpful then most of the TSR helpers to be honest.

P.S That wasn't a sly dig.

How late are we projecting here? :wink:

And again, thanks ... although I now feel very embarrassed, lots of people on TSR are good for advice. :colondollar:

I got an offer from Teesside about 8 hours after I sent my UCAS off.

The problem was, it means waiting for other universities feels like I'm slowly drilling out my eyes now.

And I don't want to go to Teesside :frown:

Oh, that's not so bad - people have done applications in very short times. I know someone who went from "No, don't want to go to uni" to, on October 15th, "I think I'll apply to Cambridge." :facepalm:

Oh no, I've always known I wanted to go, just left it to the last minute :s-smilie:

I'm "Anonymous-" by the way.
Anyway, I shall stop hijacking this thread and go to bed. Peace.

Waiting for Essex, Hull, Leicester and Kent so far, got an acknowledgement from all but Essex. Applying for BA History :smile:

And yes I do haha. Were you looking at part of Anglia Ruskin then I take it? Or just visiting friends or family? I hardly imagine someone would come up here for the nightlife :wink:

It's awful!

Motto of the story - Only apply to places you would go to. I would regard applying to all highs 'in relative' ability to you grades if you liked them for example. And if you got rejected then its not the end of the world. You work at your A levels. You do superbly in them. You get your grade. You reapply. You get in. Hurrah :h:

I only applied since I was being picky about the modules available haha, Teesside had a few I wouldn't mind doing if worse comes to worse, especially considering they're only asking for 260 UCAS points and a B in History from 4 A Levels, so that's hardly going to be hard :P I could bunk my A Levels and still get into University :rolleyes:

Ah well, good luck. :smile:

And no, I was Christmas shopping (although I do also have family there) - already go to ARU, but in Cambridge and after twelve weeks of going there every day, I got bored of it. So, decided to go to Peterborough for a change of scenery.

Am I sensing unhappiness with Peterborough..?

Well I only need a B and 160 UCAS points from 3 other A Levels! :P it's pretty tempting :wink:

And indeed :smile:

Having a quick stalk of your profile I see your a history student yourself :wink:
