Ay ngl I think they seem like good choices. I know someone who went to Durham who said Hatfield is the best college and Johns looks so nice. Hopefully we both get offers!

I think I've seen someone else on TSR get put on hold - It doesn't mean in the slightest that you aren't good enough - they just wanted a to see what other applicants are offering.

You could still end up with an offer fairly soon (and as unhelpful as it might be, worrying won't change anything 😬)

Have you had any offers yet?

I saw a thread from last year or the year before where loads of people got put on hold from Bristol and most eventually got offers :smile:

Even someone who already had achieved the grades was on hold, so don't worry, I'm sure it's just a volume of applicants thing

Hi,
I applied on 02/10/19 and within 24 hours I recieved an offer from Liverpool. My concern is that Some people have already recieved instantaneous offers from Bristol, which makes me contradict myself.

I hope this is the case as Bristol is my first choice university. I can’t help thinking that they are only giving instantaneous offers to those who they really want, and have placed others on hold in case numbers fall short ☹️
