Official Durham Applicants Thread 2011

Do u go to Durham? Ifso u know any people from st aidans? What's the community like?

Well, my offer came through this morning, so it looks like yours should be doing something similar. It's looking like Durham's first for me at the moment, but I'll be checking everything I've got on everywhere I've applied before firming anything, I think.

I got into Durham NatSci.... again!!!!!!!!!!!! (It was my firm last year and I missed their offer :O )

I was so scared that they would reject me straight off since I'm a retake student, so I'm so happy!!!!

I basically only retook this year so that I could have another chance at getting into Durham's NatSci program so seriously this is like the pinnacle of goodness in my entire life

Does anybody have any idea when maths decisions will be released?

I have read one possible offer back in December and a recent unsuccessful, but thats all.

Also, generally does AES progress to 'with College' before any decisions are sent out (ie is it worth checking that as well as incoming email)?

Thanks in advance

Ye on the 22nd of March to stay overnight. But I havent sent them a letter back yet :/ are you planning to go?

From what I know about St Aidans from my research:
1. The smallest college
2. Redone recently so good accomodation
3. One of the Hill colleges
4. Has a reputation for being a party college (dont quote me on that since I heard this from the forums here)

Has anyone got an offer for Archeology?

YEH MATE. sort of. Archeology and Ancient civ. What't your offer?

I've seen very few maths offers.

My application has just been sent to college, but nothing on UCAS so far. I think the AES generally updates to 'recieved by college' before the offer is confirmed on UCAS, but there have been a few exceptions. Depends how much you want to know the decision really, you might find out that little bit earlier if you check AES.

I received an offer for Mechanical Engineering yesterday. I've also had a confirmation email inviting me to attend an open day where I get to stay at my college. Although I haven't heard back from my chosen college and I can't see a specific date of engineering open day. Also all I've found is a form to fill in requesting an informal tour. So do I just wait until I hear from my college before investigating further. I know the open days are in March so I need to book a flight soon as well.

yep i too am waiting to hear from my allocated college.. the uni said to wait as the college will write to us and give us all the information we need.. just be patient well done! what college did you pick?

OH!!! The AES status has changed today to 'Application received by College, a decision has yet to be made'. That means the maths department is going to make an offer???

Pretty much. It'd be very strange if they didn't at this point, but if you read the stuff on the AES page, nothing is definite until UCAS says you have an offer.
