Parents of Durham University 2022 Applicants

Still waiting too. Hang on in there x

Another week passed and no offer or rejection for my son who applied for history 6 months ago , seems like only rejections coming out yesterday, according to the spreadsheet, so not looking good .

I was being positive. My son already has his grades and has 2 good offers so it matters not to me where he chooses, I was just standing with the person still waiting to let them know they are not alone, what’s negative? Unless you were replying to the wrong post 😁

This is just ridiculous now. Obviously will be advising friend’s children not to bother applying for Durham. Too little certainty. My YP waiting on law still.

Well another week another opportunity. Good luck everyone still waiting (also us).

Absolutely - good luck to everyone this week. I feel DU will go all out this week as pretty sure college allocations start next week so 🤞🏻
I know it’s no consolation but a number of other very reputable Universities seem to be doing the exact same as DU in trickling out offers. There are candidates on SU still waiting for several universities to respond as we are about to go into May. I genuinely think if you’ve not yet been rejected you should try to remain positive however hard that is (and gosh is it hard!!??!!)
Good luck to everyone - I’m sure this week is the week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

And to you, hope my daughter hears from Edinburgh and Durham this week

How do the college preferences work? My son has ranked his colleges, but not yet firmed Durham as he's still waiting to hear from UCL. Does this matter re college allocation, or should I advise him to withdraw from UCL and firm Durham....?

Anyone got any ideas how to deal with the stress of this wait?
YP has extra mocks tomorrow and next week ahead of starting in mid May.
Am literally tearing my hair out. They seem to be doing no preparation whatsoever and, having been rejected from Cambridge earlier this year seem to have totally lost interest.
If DU came back with an offer now, there may be hope of some sort of motivation but currently, this is simply torturous.
Just me / us?

Thank you. For the first time yesterday, the offspring suggested that, due to this delay in response and the increasing reports seen about lack of inclusion and diversity at DU (blame tiktok), that it may not be the place for them. Am thinking this is deflection on their part in case of a pending rejection but we'll see. Am absolutely not expecting them to get a reply this week as suspect it will be down to the wire or the long debated auto-reject but it would be a nice surprise if they do (either way, tbh at this stage!). I suspect the college allocation will be about as meaningless for admissions as the offer-holder days were, sadly.

Thank you for your replies and, as you will see from my earlier post quoted above, they are also now reconsidering whether DU will actually suit them but it remains a stressful situ nonetheless.
To be clear, we absolutely have been trying to encourage the other 2 offers they have received but they won't move on with those until DU has responded.
