Is it normal that I haven't received any offers yet?

Hi, I'm an Italian student and I sent my UCAS application in late October 2018, but I haven't received any offers to this day, is that normal?
I've applied for International Business to Edinburgh, Strathclyde, Heriot Watt, Dundee and Aberdeen.
Hope it's normal lol

Hi! It's perfectly normal, scottish universities usually take a long time to reply and most offers are sent in March.
Btw I'm italian too :smile:

Thank you very much for the reply :smile:
Good to know I won't be the only italian student in the whole Scotland lol
Which uni are you going/have you gone to?

P.S. Should we talk italian? lol
Pensa te che io ho mandato l'application per l'imperial college il 14 ottobre e mi devono ancora rispondere, il problema sta nel fatto che se mi accettassero dovrei fare un'interview che si tiene entro febbraio 🙃

(mod note: please include English translations - thanks.)

I applied for Medicine to Glasgow, Aberdeen, Bristol and King's College London.
I had my interviews at Glasgow and Aberdeen and still haven't heard back from any of them

infatti...io avevo mandato la domanda per fisica con musica ma non mi hanno acora fatto sapere nulla se non che hanno chiesto i voti del primo trimestre e la stima per il voto dell'esame
Non so se anche a voi avessero chiesto questi dati...

Hi lads, quick update: I've been rejected by Aberdeen and Strathclyde, still got three left (Edinburgh, Heriot Watt, Dundee).
Should I worry?

Did your referee provide predicted grades on your UCAS? If so, are they on target for the course entry requirements? Note that entry requirements for EU applicants are often quite high because of the free tution fee and cap on places.

Which course have you applied for?

Hi, I've applied for International Business Management.
Unfortunately my referee hasn't provided any predicted grade and I don't know why to be honest.
How much does it matter? Does this mean I have no possibilities left?

This may be why you are getting rejections. Have you asked your universities about this? If not, do so urgently.

Did you put that you have grades "pending" for your qualifications? If not your referee isn't prompted to provide predictions.
