Thanks so much for this, saw the UCAS people in my college today and they sent it off. Good job I asked! XD

Glad it has gone! Let the waiting commence lol :smile:

It's worrying how I post my offers on TSR before I tell my Mum :rolleyes:

Ditto! I really don't want to know what that says about me!

I'm glad you've managed to get that offer from Hull sorted. To be honest after a week I'd complain so you have more patience from me. Still haven't had my offer from Cumbria put on UCAS and its been 3 days now. I hope Hull hurry up and say they will at least give me an offer, I've now decided I think thats where I want to go.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll get an offer! :biggrin:

Gonna ask a quick question. Didn't want to make a whole thread about it cause 1 person could probably answer this. Can universities give offers higher than your predicted grades, if they really wanted to? For example predicted a B in Higher Computing (Scot Quals), but if they wanted, could they offer me a conditional with an A in it? Just I think I could get an A in it, but my UCAS is sent so it can't be changed (it can't be changed eh, I sent it 4 days ago?). Thanks :smile:

Yeah they can. There's someone on the applications and UCAS subforum complaining about that very issue. On the flip side, they can also give you an offer lower than your predicted grades! :biggrin:

Does anyone know when you're meant to set up a student bank account and apply for student finance? Because I think you can theoretically apply for student finance now but I don't have a student account and I don't really want to give them my current bank details. Meh.

I got an email from UCAS (application status notification) saying something has changed (so like an offer/rejection) and to see it on track, but when i logged on nothing had changed? is this normal, or is track just taking ages to update?

Does it actually say on UCAS Track 'acknowledged' Or are people just saying they are acknowledged because an e-mail or letter said so?

You can't apply for it yet. I had an assembly this morning on it and we were told the form isn't up on the website yet or the specific information for 2011 entry.

It could be a change in the campus or college or something like that. It doesn't have to be an offer or rejection change.

I've had an email telling me that something has changed on track but its not working for me at the minute :grr:

Its when people get an email or letter basically saying thank you for your application and that it will be considered.

Yeah it can be a long wait. At my school it goes through extra checking so it can take weeks before it is actually sent. It usually comes back to us to change something because they are very very picky.

Good, because I've just realised I've lost my NI card and I don't know my number. :sigh:

Yay! Just checked Track and Hull have finally put my offer up! Now I need Lancaster, UEA and RHUL to hurry the hell up, haha! RHUL say they take 4 to 6 weeks to decide so :sleep:

, might as well do something productive in the meantime like actually revise. Anyone finding that Track is taking over their lives?
