Anybody know how quick Cambridge, Bristol, UCL, Warwick and Nottingham are for law offers? Any insight would be much appreciated x

Depends on how fast they process LNAT scores.

It's always £24 if you apply for two or more courses, regardless of what they are. It's a bit less for just one course but I'm not sure how much.

£11 for one

I have an offer from Birmingham and Queen Mary for psychology, just waiting for Southampton and UCL right now. Got rejected by Kings college because my grades "do not meet the requirements for the course" even though I achieved A*AB at A level this year and I'm predicted an A in psychology A-level (applying in my gap year right now.)

Is anyone else applying for psychology at any of these unis too?

I wonder what percentage of Oxbridge applications are sent the day before the deadline like I'm doing... Maybe I'm a minority, but I suspect it's quite a few!

Course: It varies across universities - Psychology with Education (3 unis), Early Childhood Studies with Psychology (1 uni), Developmental Psychology (1 uni).
Universities: Southampton (most likely to be firm), Sussex, UEA, Portsmouth and Worcester OR South Wales (haven't been to Worcester yet so if I don't like it, I'll put down South Wales instead which I also haven't visited)
GCSE grades: 2A*s, 7As and 2Bs.
AS grades (achieved): ABBC (dropped C grade subject)
A2 grades (predicted): AAB
Extra curricular: I have a part-time job in retail. I also occasionally attend school trips such as to local lectures, for instance.
Other: Don't think so but would love to meet some people who will be applying at the same universities or the same course as me.

Hey, I'm applying for Psychology with Education too!! I'm applying to Southampton as well along with Durham, York, Bristol and De Montfort

Just got an offer from UEA for geography and international development asking ABB or unconditional if I firm! :biggrin:

So happy! It will probably be either my firm or insurance depending on my other offers!

I've sent off my UCAS application on Tuesday, all I got in return was an email from UCAS saying my said application has been sent to my chosen universities and that they will get back to me.

Still no confirmation reply from any of my choices via email that they've actually received it, should I be worried? kinda stressing out considering most people ITT have received an email within 24 hours.

What course/unis?

You shouldnt be worried. It usually takes a few days or maybe even weeks. I have recieved 1 offer from surrey so far.
