And I've already been in a road accident once...I can imagine what the headlines might've been 'Girl, 17, dies because of an email' :colonhash:

Yeah they must just look at predicted grades or something!

Where have you applied to, if you don't mind me asking? :smile:

Must be!

Cambridge, Exeter, Leeds, Reading and Sussex for Geography. :smile:

Got an offer from Reading yesterday - though that took a week, rather than 2 minutes! :redface:

Where else did you go for?

Good choices though. I've got family down in Chelmsford, heart and soul of Essex, haha. Best of luck, hope you get Northampton then!

Haha! I know! Still love geography!

Chelmsford is a really nice place so, if I get an offer it will be a tough decision!

Thanks!

I imagine people are much more reluctant to come on here and talk about their rejections, but it seems as if virtually no one has been unsuccessful so far. The pattern amongst universities who don't apply the 'gathered field' approach, i.e. wait until all applications are in on Jan 15th before doing anything, seems usually to be to offer the dead certs a place, reject the hopeless and then sit on those in the middle until the picture becomes clearer. On that basis, there could be about the same number of rejections as offers so far. Happy for all those people who have had good news. Hope those who haven't aren't quietly losing heart. There are many stages to go until it's game over, and it only takes one offer.

I feel exactly the same!! Why is this so painful?!

Let's hang in there!! This isn't the end yet, hardly even the beginning so we'll have to keep hope! No pain, no gain as they say :redface:

Sorry lol that's alright, all in the past now but never the teasing jokes from friends XD I have two beds on either side of my desk, therefore if I'm going down, I'll hit soft ground :biggrin:

(that rhymed!.... Alright I have officially lost it, time to get off TSR and do some mechanics....)
