Official Durham Applicants Thread 2011

Just received my college confirmation letter via post. I got St John's. I can relax a bit, now!

A couple. I've seen 3 law offers for domestic students, 2 on here...and 1 on yougo.

Offer came in yesterday evening for Combined Honours in Social Sciences Hopefully at Chads but they haven't confirmed yet....
Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes for your college to be allocated? It just says "a decision has been made" on their tracker service

I've just got an offer for physics

Around 3 weeks, and congrats!

Congrats! I've got an offer for Combined Honours in Arts--last friday. I've also picked Chad's and haven't heard--expect we'll hear after new year. Will you go up on open days? I think I'll be at the first one on Mar 22. Is Durham your 2nd or 3rd choice?

heyy just to check - ive had an offer for durham for 3 days but all that's happened is ucas has changed and it now says 'conditional' next to the course - i dont have an email/letter/anything. is this what normally happens, and how long til i find out what the offer is?

What you need to do is click on the course code next to the university name it'll be something like G103 (this is for maths) Once you have clicked on it scroll down and the conditions will be there

Thanks gaahhh I'm excited



ooo....maybe I'll see you there! haha I don't know it I'll go to an open day or not cause I live a few miles south of Birmingham so it takes YEARS to get up there and I've been once for a campus tour already, but I havent visited Chads yet cause at the time I though I was going for Hatfield instead but after seeing it aI hated it lol - dont know why haha so it depends when it is etc...but it would be nice to have a look round
Its probably my first choice, cause I'm not really expecting to get into Cambridge haha although it would be nice! Its between Durham and Exeter really for me, but the courses I've chosen are really different so it would be hard if I got offers from both :/ At the moment anyway its number 1
What subjects did you specify?

Received by a college for law!
So excited.
I'm hoping this is a good sign anyway!

I'm definitely going to go the first day and then head to St Andrews for its open day on Wed before heading home.

English and Classics. And I just got word from Chad's office administrator that although my application will not be processed before the new year, she does have it in hand and I can begin planning for my open day visit. I'm definitely going to go the first day and then head to St Andrews for its open day on Wed before heading home. I live in the states and have never been to Durham or Scotland so if I am realistically going to evaluate either uni, then I need to make it over for a visit. I didn't apply to Exeter, but now wish that I had . . . I'd struggle between Durham and Exeter as well. Good luck with Cambridge.

Just received an offer for Anthropology Really really pleased. Does anyone know if the campus code on UCAS track is any indication of the college the offer has come from?

Congrats!!! Nope, 'fraid not. You'll get a letter in a few weeks saying which college you've been allocated too and even then it won't update on UCAS for a while after that.

I still don't have official word yet, but I did speak to the head of the department (Combined Honours) and he called the president of St. Chad's for me to see if he could get confirmation before xmas--told me to be cautiously optimistic. I'm going to go in Mar and since I am coming from the States, I'll probably choose the first day. I think Durham is my first choice, but I am also considering St Andrews. Oxford rejected me. What other unis are on your list? Have you been to Durham before? Do you live in London?
