Thanks! I applied late October, so have been waiting for a while, but I'd heard they can be super late (even March), especially for English, so I was surprised to get it already... I'm applying PQA though, so have my grades already, which might be why :smile:

what have you applied for and which college?

College Allocation only starts now, and does not depend on when you applied but when you received your offer. If you received your offer before February 1st, you will be allocated your college between now and the 1st March. If you haven't received your offer yet, you'll be allocated at another time after the date, and you may have less of a chance of getting your first choice. Other factors are involved however, and you may find that your first choice college is undersubscribed for applicants to your course so you can still get it! If you've applied to really popular colleges like University however..

What if I got an offer on the morning of February 1st? xD

Since it's after the 1st, my guess would be that you might hear a bit later, but you never know - if they're working through them linearly then hopefully it won't be much later then those who had offers by the 1st - either way, everyone will get allocated a college :smile:

Hey

I applied to Durham to study English and Philosophy, through the Liberal Arts program. Only after I submitted my application I noticed that there is an English and Philosophy course separately (yes, I'm a bit scatter-brained). Do you think this means an instant rejection or I still have the chance to receive an offer?

It shouldn't be an instant rejection-Unless you mean you tailored your personal statement to English and philosophy but applied for liberal arts? Not too sure how it works but hopefully you'd still be considered for LA because they're kind of similar and if it's good news you can ask to change courses maybe? All the best!

Got an offer for Liberal Arts yesterday! History, French and Mandarin.

I'm ridiculously happy as this was my top choice (also due to sod's law, the final offer that I've been waiting for for months) :woo:
