Bristol applicants 2011

I am!! i am also so fedup of waiting. i got a letter in december abouut 2 weeks before christmas saying that they had assesed my application but couldnt come to a decision so would wait until after the deadline. Then at the same time i heard quite a few people got offers. Then about a month ago loads of geog people were rejected who hadnt got any sort of letter/email but now we are just waiting like crazy. I rekon if it gets to March 31st i will email them, because it isnt fair making us wait so long. x

I got that letter too! Would this be your first choice? It is so nerve-wracking... I appreciate they have so many applicants but it isn’t really fair to keep so main people waiting - perhaps it's better to be left in the dark though :tongue:

Some have! I know of both rejections and offers. But not for us! :rolleyes:

Where else do you have offers from? :smile:

Good luck.

Me too

I think I probably got that same letter in December ... I applid for the BSc because I thought the application statistics looked more preferable (although that may not make a difference) and apparently there's a possibility of swapping onto either the MSci or year in continental Europe in certain situations. What about you?

MSci but I'm regretting it now because if I ever get an offer, I think the grades could be higher - not that I'm getting an offer as it stands. Good luck!

Oh wow, well done! I bet you'll love the city, it's gorgeous! :smile:

Thanks! Have you got an offer? Yeah im sure I will, Ive been to the uni bits and theyre gorgeous so im sure the rest of the city will be the same :smile:

Also i found when i went there last that it wasn't too large and intimidating like for example Manchester...(im a bit of a country girl!)

so surreal but so so good! did you send emails etc when you got rejected? my track got updated today has yours been?

Yeah I actually sent one as I thought it was odd that I hadn't been offered an interview (having been promised one earlier on in the year). I am a 'mature' applicant so my offer is unconditional and so track update came fairly promptly (took about 2 days). Bristol going to be your firm then?

Maybe

let's be optimistic until we know :tongue:

Not a bad choice! I'd say Bristol (as I didn't apply to UCL hehe) - Bristol would definately be my first choice now! Good luck with your application and making a decision :smile:

How did you manage that :confused:

No idea. My insurance was East Anglia...AAB...and my personal statement sucked...I'maware of that.

Even so, to get five rejections was surprising....
