Hey so yeah you are best opening your SAAS account as early as possible, in case you need to sort out extra documents or fix mistakes or whatever, but they're obviously not accepting applications for later this year yet. Once you've opened an account it is usually the one you stick with through your whole time in education, and any changes you need to make will be done within that account. I would wait until April and check if it's changed, and if not just phone them with your account details and explain what has happened - they're usually really helpful over the phone. Either way you've got loads of time still - I used to do mine at the beginning of June :wink:


Yeah that's what I thought, it keeps saying 'application for year 2015/6 not yet received by us' something along those lines, so I think I'm just going to wait until April and then I'll see if it lapses over for the next year, if not I'll just have to ring them up. It should be okay though shouldn't it? I got an email today from them saying 'welcome to saas' or something. So the account has been made but no application has been made.. I think it should be fine. Thanks for your help

Oh, thats so confusing, but if it helps.. i applied through extra for angila ruskin last year and was placed on the waiting list and I remember the entry requirements for childrens nursing was lower than adult, childrens was only 260 ucas where as adult was 280 but this year they have put the requirements up to 280 aswell so they're both the same now. Not sure if that makes a difference to you. Are you applying for adult or child? Have you any offers yet xx


Ah I didn't realise the requirements had gone up, maybe that's why! I got a few offers but have chosen Leeds Beckett :smile: xx

Help😭😭😭

What's a SAAS account? X
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knew of any more protests planned against the cuts to nursing and midwifery student bursaries? I thought there might be something this week what with the government budget being announced on wednesday??

Still makes me so angry thinking about it!!

Hi I was wondering if anyone is still waiting for a Keele interview for children's nursing. I sent my application off in October and I haven't had an interview or anything. I rang them up in Feb and then got an email that my application is being processed. And those who have had theirs, have they got a reply back yet or not. Thanks

If you're offered March intake, you shouldn't be affected by the bursary changes! The change will only affect those starting in sept 2017! I prefer sept intake cause waiting another year is so long when we could start in September! I emailed the admissions office about this and she said she has noted it down and if there are any space then they'll put me down for it! Idk if it works

No news is good news. I applied end of October and got rejected in January x
Has anyone still not heard from stirling? It's been over 6 months (mid october i applied) and I've still not got an interview/rejection. .. feel like I'm the only one as I've seen lots of people have already had interviews from them? (Mental health and Stirling main campus) ://

Rejection without interview. I didn't meet the score for interview. Wasn't too upset tho as it was my 4th choice and I'd already had offers from 2 others unis x
