Today I got the "we're waiting until January to make all of our decisions" email, which is stressful... because seeing "Durham" my brain assumed "ohmygo****sadecision"

I got that email too! I already got my Durham offer so I thought it was them emailing to say it had been revoked. I swear my heart stopped beating for a moment!
Term is ending that's why, admissions tutors need a Christmas holiday :P

My son just got an AAB offer for Geology :-)
I also got that email but then 10 minutes later I got an offer from them for maths :smile:. So happy!

Oh gosh I'm so glad it wasn't your offer being taken away, that'd be so sad!
I got an offer for theoretical physics just one hour ago!
Just got an offer for English and History! So pleased!
Hi guys!

So it's been around a month since my application was sent off and I haven't heard back...
I do the IB diploma programme and applied for business and management, but I'm one point off the requirements...
Do I still have a shot to get an offer? :/

Thanks!

Congrats! Do you mind me asking what your gcse and a level grades are and when you sent off your application? I applied for English and philosophy on 5th November but was expecting to wait until next year

Thanks :smile:

Yeah no problem. At GCSE I got 8A*s and 2As and at AS 4 As, with a prediction of 3A*s. UCAS seems to indicate the unis received my application on 9th October, but yeah, I didn't expect to hear this side of New Year either! Good luck with your application :smile:
Anyone heard anything for Comb Hons in Social Sciences?

I know it's not the same because you applied for joint honours but I applied for philosophy and got my offer on the 4th of December. So, (assuming the philosophy department is involved in reviewing your application and the English department doesn't take too long) you should receive an offer soon!

Oh that's good to hear! Quite reassuring, thank you :smile: also congrats on your offer!
