I sent my application on 14th and received an offer from Edinburgh on 23rd. I think you should check EUCLID again.

Im very jealous, maybe it's an international student thing to get them done early?

You're right, but they apparently decided to change this year, because there's someone who already received an offer from Edinburgh!

I sent off on 14th October for Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick, Nottingham and Bristol.

Had acknowledgement emails from all but Imperial within a few days.

Just got a letter from Nottingham saying they're definitely making me an offer but I have to go on a visit day on the 27th and meet an admissions tutor before they decide the conditions. Slightly annoying that they've just upped their standard offer to A*AA after advertising it as AAA but never mind.

Anyone know if Warwick or Bristol do UCAS days too?

Its horrible, Durham just asked me for my UMS and I've got some visit day at Leeds. I'd kill to just know I had one offer :frown:

Yep, an interview at Lancaster coming up and a visit day at Southampton, but no offer. I couldn't put it better myself, I'd kill to know I have an offer.

Don't know. Although Lancaster has 5 interview days which seems a lot so am thinking they invite many more than offers. Only a guess though.
Have you heard anything from Exeter? When is your interview at Lancaster?

Everybod who goes to Lancaster for an interview gets an offer in my experience from last year.

Their website has said A*AA - AAA for months and still says that for all of their physics courses so an offer of either A*AA or AAA would be normal for them.

Yeah, I had checked before applying so I knew what it would be, but when I first looked a few months ago it was AAA and on the open day the admissions tutor gave a little speech where he mentioned that they thought AAA was sufficient and that other unis often put A*AA just to try and play the league tables. The letter says the 'standard offer' is now A*AA, but I suppose if they like you on the visit day you might still get AAA.

That's what I thought as well... But I got this email as well today..

I didn't actually realise that's what it said so just read it again..!!

But thanks for saying otherwise I wouldn't have read that..

It seems like a pretty generic email to me though..?

Its so annoying when you see loads of people getting offers for other courses. I just guess Physics is so great it's competitive :wink:

I was invited to the interview day at Lancaster and because I am an international student, I will have to do it by Skype. Does anyone have any experiences with that? Not sure what to expect :rolleyes:
