Nottingham is ALREADY giving out offers?!

I'm seriously wondering... because one of my good friend said he got a letter confirming an offer in Nottingham for business studies.

They gave him a list of "formal open days" which he has to attend in order to validate his offer and they haven't told him what the conditions (i.e grade requirements) is.

Has anyone else recieved anything like this? Cos no one else in my school has and i'm starting to get worried... :frown:

I think it depends on each uni and the course/department. In some unis / departments offers are given on a first come, first served basis.

Why are you worried? Other good unis have begun to give out offers...

Cos i haven't heard anything from them except from a letter saying they've got my application which is recieving "serious consideration"...

And no replies from anywhere else either...

Have you guys heard from Notts?

oh right. I thought you were worried that your friend had misunderstood the letter, or something.
I got the same letter you got, but I havn't heard anything yet from them -and Im not expecting to for a while. Check the portal if you're really worried, but I think it depends on how much they like you and how popular the course is. It'll come! don't panic!
Good Luck!

That's some comfort coming to someone who applied last year~

But again, did you apply something like Medicine, for which they take longer to decide due to the interviews etc.

Is the portal thing working? I can't make it log me in, it just gives me general info about the application process and Nottingham. Anyone know how it works?

Same here... i can get in, but it doesn't really do anything. It just says "you've applied to blah, which is recieving serious consideration"

I got my offer from them last year in early October. It depends on the department - Comp Sci are fast.

i just got the portal letter, just says my application is being considered. i applied for maths but a mate of mine applying for a business degree of some kind got an offer from them over a week ago and they specified grades. i think it just depends on the department . . .

Yup yup... i think their business dep is extra fast, my friend applied for that too.

I just thought economics will be kinda related, but i suppose language dep is always really slow...(applied to eco+german)
