Thank you so much! It literally took them 7 days to reply to me and they were my 3rd reply! Don’t worry though my friend applied for the same course as me and still hasn’t gotten a reply as well, and she sent of her application earlier than mine. Don’t worry the length of time you wait won’t determine your offer. But I definitely think you will get an offer, don’t worry.

Hi, I applied as well, did you apply to start this month? And if so, when is the start date if you know and is there a deadline? I applied at the beginning of december.

I was asked to upload my files and I did but haven't heard from them since the 7th of this month.

Guys it’s alright, they have until May to reply, some unis wait until the ucas deadline to give applicants equal opportunities. I and my friend both applied for the same course at the same Uni, bearing in mind she applied before me, I got an offer after 7 days of applying and she still hasn’t gotten an offer yet. The time you wait won’t determine your offer at all, we just gotta have patience 😌

Hi everyone, I've applied for automotive engineering starting in September and I was wondering if anyone had any idea about which accommodation is the best as I have no idea and reviews seem to vary a lot person to person. Ideally I would be somewhere sociable and fun while also being somewhere I can get my head down and do some work.

Honestly that’s up to you, and I think you should try filter what’s best for you and your budget, if you want somewhere affordable and sociable I’d recommend a flat share maybe?

Hi, I applied for Midwifery back in late November and got a response from BCU I think mid December? And my interview was supposed to be for the 25th Jan next week but I had to cancel. So I’m currently waiting for more dates to be uploaded to choose from. So yeah it is such a long process, but don’t worry I’m sure they will get back to you soon. That’s great! I also got an offer from Coventry, interview will be in March, when will yours be?
