[2016] Fastest and slowest offer senders

Late application...submitted few days ago...recently got conditional offer from Durham ( Bsc Finance )...any chances to be upgraded to unconditional offer?

What are your conditions and why do you think they would ignore them?

University of Westminster was pretty fast for me!
Still waiting for Kent & RHUL :frown:

Just seen your post elsewhere. Drop me a PM with your UCAS ID and full name, and I'll check the status of your application :smile:

I am an international student doing the University of London International Foundation Programme, final exam during April. My forecast result submitted was 4A ( overall distinction). In the con. offer they requested IELTS which I have not done it ( perhaps my local high school English test - Cambridge 1119 English Syllabus could be sent to argue as it is well-recognised by most UK unis for undergraduate admission.

I am curious about the chances of being upgraded to uncon. offer. Heard of some uni. provided the condition to place the offer as first choice secured offer. Is that true?

Not Durham (afaik), and certainly not unless they had told you it was an option when they gave you the offer.

You would need to check with them regarding the Englisg language requirement.

And presumably their offer is also conditional on you achieving a certain result in your Foundation Program. As that result will be known (in April) before the deadline for confirming your choices (5th May) then if your English is ok it might be worth delaying accepting the offer until after those results, at which point it would basically become unconditional...

Do you have other offers to consider?

is it a bad sign if you are still waiting for an offer over a month after sending it off? especially when i know some people who are receiving offers the same university (and partly the same course) even though they sent their application off later.

I'm not sure if all unis work in the same way but I found out las year when I was applying etc that ey have different piles...ones who are in right away (mainly because of grades) ones who don't impress and will be sent a no....and another pile who are maybes....and they will go back to the maybes at e end once they know how many offers have been sent out first...this doesn't mean to say you won't get an offer as you haven't been rejected yet so good luck you'll hear soon...a couple of my unis took approx..8weeks...last year...one a no but I got into my favourite course so all else didn't fail...don't give up hope...determination and commitment wins..that's what I was told by a senior lecturer...

Yep - I have either received acknowledgements or offers off my other choices. Don't know why they are being so slow.

Anyone had an unconditional from Sussex who hasn't already got their grades? - and if so how long did it take to get your offer.

Sent my application away on the 23rd November and I haven't received any offers yet for psychology. It's a bit frustrating when there is people with 5 unconditionals at my school and I have nothing haha :biggrin:

Haha I feel the same! Only had 1 offer thus far and it's conditional. Hard to see others making their firm/insurance :frown:

It's been already three weeks since my reference teacher sent my application out... I got an offer for Genetics from Aberdeen last week, but, other than that, it has been dead silent. A friend of mine has already 4/5 offers. I'm so jealous. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I only applied to Scottish unis (Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, St. Andrews) plus am a non-UK EU student?

Do they send out offers and rejections at the same time? I'm so scared that on May 5th I'll just receive four automatic rejections... My predicted grades are rather ok (41/45 IB points), but could they reject me for other reasons (country of domicile, PS)?
