The waiting for news is driving me crazy thread

I applied to study Philosophy at Undergrad, at King's College, Exeter, Bristol, Warwick and Durham, and I am yet to hear anything, rejections or confirmations, from anywhere.

I applied in mid november, should I be worried? I have applied with deferred entry if that affects anything? I would just like some reassurance really! I've phoned/emailed all the unis and they say they have received my application, it's just I'm the only one out of my friends yet to hear anything.

Thanks!

I applied for History and Politics to (in order of preference):

Oxford - Rejected (Messed up the exam)
Edinburgh - Pending
St. Andrews - Rejected (I made a mistake with the course choice and so it didn't correspond to my PS and had nothing to do with politics)
Glasgow - Offer (AAB)
York - Offer (AAA)

I'd be more than happy to go to Glasgow, I'm sure I'll end up there anyway.

I'm still waiting for Edinburgh. The only reason I'm still hoping is that my 2 rejections were due to precise reasons which won't apply to Edinburgh.

Somebody from the Edinburgh thread emailed the admissions lady and she told him that all History replies will be out by he 26th...

Edinburgh sounds great, I also wanted to apply there but after I heard how difficult it is to get in I forgot about it, dont think my grades + PS are good enough for two competitive subjects... It´s the same with me, I´d be more than happy to go to Stirling or UEA, but I´d love :love:

to go to St Andrews although I have not much hope, for the same reasons as for Edinburgh. Well still waiting may be a good sign. :rolleyes:

They sent me an e-mail only days after I sent my UCAS application telling me that they would wait with their decisions until after the deadline. Did they send thas to you aswell?

My last offer came more than 2 months ago and I'm still waiting for the last uni to answer. Which, by the way, has the lowest requirements of the five...

Three rejections, zero offers :frown:

Wondering what went wrong..

Sorry to hear that. What subject/what unis have you been rejected from/where are you waiting to hear from?

Good luck for your remaining two choices?

I can't remember. They gave me a reply before the deadline, they rejected me on the 17th of December.

1) Someone emailed the admissions tutor to ask when they'd send out offers/rejections and she said that she plans to send out all History related replies before the 26th of Feb.

2) On Friday, 3-4 people got replies for History related subjects (one of them for the same course as me).

3) There is not 3.

ohh, i'm tempted to email them about my course now and ask, i just don't want to seem overly eager
have you heard?

I tink I'll hear tomorrow, I just have the feeling I will. Or maybe Tuesday/Wednesday...

I never dared email them because I was afraid it would affect my application, being so pushy/impatient.

Well done guys. I think im going to get rid of my last choice. They have offered me an interview on the 10th and I know I won't be able to attend this. im starting a new job with really strange hours and this is my first shift so can't really get out of it. Plus im about 90% certain I don't want to go to york.

I sent my UCAS application off on the 20th January (within the extended deadline), however Track has yet to update. I do have an unconditional offer for Hull as they sent me a letter about 2 weeks ago, though this still has not shown on Track. I also have an interview for Queen Mary, though I have heard nothing from the other universities I've applied to.

Is this normal? I mean, I've applied to universities before the first time round and I can't remember going this long (it's been nearly 5 weeks) without anything happening on UCAS.

Maybe I'm just being impatient. I suppose the universities are busy and will get back to me within due course, but it seems odd that Track hasn't updated at all. I thought some universities would be quicker than others at giving me a response.

It's totally normal for track to take a while (or an age, in some cases) to update, so nothing to worry about.
As for hearing back from uni's - yeah, you're being impatient. You're doing well to have 2 replies already given that you only sent it off a month ago.

It's now been just over a month since I sent in my application, and I've only received two replies. Admittedly I did send in my application on the final day of the deadline, but should it really take this long? How much longer should I expect to wait for the other three places to get back to me?

A month really isn't that long. Lots of people wait many months before getting replies from some unis. I wouldn't worry.

Unis should aim to get back to you by March 31st, but actually have until May 7th.

Unconditional from Manchester! three down two more to go! :woo:

So excited. I want to firm York out of all five, but I'm not entirely sure between Manchester/Birmingham and Exeter/Nottingham. Tough choices . . .

Grr, Warwick are annoying me. They've had my application for over 4 months now and still heard nothing back.
I want to decide on my firm choice and start applying for Student Finance! :frown:
