How soon did you receive your offers after submitting to UCAS

I am applying to university for 2017 entry to study International Business and I was wondering where you guys have applied, when you sent your application and when did you receive your offers!

Am really excited about sending my off :smile:

First offer was from Warwick Maths that arrived one day after sending off my UCAS.

That's a bit early isn't it? Looks like they were very keen on having you there!
Do you still get offers before the deadline? Like if I sent it off this week would I get offers soon or would they wait until January deadline
The first was after one day, the last was after three months!

It depends on the department. Some start making offers immediately, others wait for the January deadline. I think it's more common to start making them earlier though, I got 4/5 offers before January.

Last year my first offers were a day after (Manchester and Keele), two more a week after (York and Sheffield) and the last came exactly two weeks after (Birmingham). This was all for History :smile:
Application sent - 19th Oct
Kent - 26th Oct
Warwick - 27th Oct
Leicester - 20th Nov
Southampton - 8th Dec
Exeter - 3rd Feb

When Warwick offered I was like "Holy **** a Russell Group uni want me?! Maybe I'm not useless!"

Ah, I see. Warwick is very good for Econ as well, like one of the top unis. I'd consider it, if I were you.

Ended up going to Cambridge for maths.

On the plus side, they send you a nice email when you decline their offer. :lol:

Thanks! I'm applying to UCL for Medical Physics, any idea why your offer was so quick? Is this common for UCL?

I'd have thought that admissions processes would be department-specific so I certainly wouldn't expect this for UCL as a whole. I don't think UCL's Earth Sciences department is particularly heavily oversubscribed (it's lovely though) and also I submitted it fairly early (start of October) so they wouldn't have been very busy with applications at that time.
