[2016] Fastest and slowest offer senders

Original post by pottermad_

Applied for York, Leeds, Manchester, MMU and Salford. I applied for Maths.
It's just a waiting game and I'm so impatient.

Nice choices - I really liked York but unfortunately their course wasn't quite right for me. I get you! I'm a very impatient person!

[QUOTE="bioeng98;60265951"]I applied to Cambridge, Imperial College, Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton two and a half weeks ago.

Just received my first offer today from Southampton for Mechanical Engineering/Biomedical Engineering! :smile:

Not sure what it was like for other people, but Southampton was the fastest for me. Still have not heard anything from the others, but due to the vast amounts of people applying they probably have not looked at my application yet so hopefully I should hear something soon.[/QUOTE

you r lucky to get southampton's in 2.5 weeks.

i m still waiting , having applied 3.5 weeks ago.

Nope, not an international applicant. I think there would be interviews for some subjects, but not for the subject that I am applying for. It says that I have an offer on UCAS track conditional on me achieving A*A in maths and physics, A in further maths, though I have not had an email from Southampton itself yet. I suppose I'll probably be invited to visit Southampton for one of those applicants.

Where have you applied? Which subject(s)?

UCL were quick to offer me an interview for English.

Durham, St. Andrews. Exeter are going to take ages though.

I know! I just really don't know which one I'd choose, and having no offers back really doesn't help me. I'm just really scared of 5 rejections, like I know it's not very likely but I'm just nervous.

A lot of people are terrified of getting five rejections - I was - and unfortunately the only way of solving that is getting an offer. You do have a while to try and figure out which you'd choose though, and I'm trying not to think about that situation until I've heard back from a couple more unis and have a better idea of the offers I'm dealing with.
I like your username btw :P

Yes I suppose. I'm happy that you've got an offer! Maybe it's the fact that it's only been a week since I've sent it off, just got to be patient.
