They've got until May to reply to you (as long as you applied before the January deadline). Email them if you're worried.

Well at least theres always the other offers you have. Taking them might be better than paying 9k for fees next year! Theres only one place left in extra that does a course I'm at all interested in. Applying would mean giving up the very small chance I have on a waiting list at one of the universities I got rejected from.
Good luck with your top choice though!

This is frustrating me as well. I'm wating for my last reply so I can make a sensible decision knowing all my options. I beginning to think it might not even be worth waiting though; I can't be waiting until May to sort out my finance/ accommodation ect. It's up to you though- just don't write off the other unis- i'm sure they're just as good!

I'm in EXACTLY the same position as you are. Have 3 offers, not sure about them, waiting for my 1 first choice, though I'd require an interview and havent had a reply yet.

I feel for you... What course is it and what uni?

Yes- medicine

It's hardly UCAS's fault.
CSM will take forever, they are utterly useless at dealing with admissions.

You need to apply for finance NOW even if you havent heard back yet. You just enter the name of your top choice uni and if you end up firming somewhere else you just change it later on.

Goodluck to you too !
At least you have some offers. I know it's frustrating for you if you're still waiting on your first, but it's even more frustrating being rejected from your first choice and having no other offers :frown:
