[2016] Fastest and slowest offer senders

•

the fact that you haven't heard from a uni yet when others have for the same course doesn't mean you are going to be rejected

•

uni departments vary a lot in how fast they process applications and send out offers, and you can't read anything into this

•

some unis don't send acknowledgements, and some do - and some departments within a uni don't, where others do; if your Track shows that your application has been sent, the uni has it, so don't worry

•

LSE does have a habit of posting its decisions on the same day each week, but this is LSE's way of doing things, not necessarily what other unis do

•

Track updates as unis send through decisions (all done electronically) and this can happen at odd times of day and/or at weekends - if Track is down for some reason, decisions will still get through and will be there for you to see when it comes back up again

•

half term is irrelevant to unis - however, admissions tutors generally don't deal with applications over the Christmas period and it also tends to go a bit quiet over Easter (which is very early in 2016)
