I received my first offer a few days ago from Exeter (AAA). I sent in my application on October 12th, so it looks like it took the university just under two weeks to process.

Good luck to everyone else!

I recieved my offer yesterday from UEA (AAB). Sent the application in on the 20th , so it was a very quick turn around of just 4 working days
Good luck :smile: :smile:

I'm going for Cambridge, Durham, St Andrews, Exeter and Nottingham.

Hmm, none the same as yours. Usually there's at least a bit of crossover.

Yeah, good point, sorry, I'm just logging onto track obsessively. I desperately want my first offer :tongue:
sent my ucas off on the 12th and havent heard from any yet regarding offers/rejections. i know it could take months for them to come in but 2 people in this thread sent theirs off later than mine and have received replies from unis that i applied to (sheffield and uea). uea needs my tutor to send in predicted grades though which cant be sent until the end of november which is a little annoying :frown:

Best of luck. Nottingham is my fifth choice, but it was still a lovely place and I would be happy to go there. I also looked around Warwick and King's but didn't apply to either. I had a sort of love/hate thing going on with King's. I wasn't sure if I really liked or really hated the idea of being in London.

Which Cambridge college are you going for? I've applied to Jesus.

I have heard of offers being given out last week and this week already , so its an active department at the moment it seems :smile: You should hear from them fairly quickly :smile:

Thanks xD and I haven't a clue, I think two, or three if I'm lucky. My first choice is Cambridge, and second is either Durham or UCL, maybe Durham.

Those are very good as well. What are your first and second choices, and how many offers do you think you will get then?

yerh I reckon 3 really .. which is great to be honest ! can't argue really :'). Rightt .. well that is great :smile: .. have you visited them all ? Cos I know when i went to see Durham , the size of the department put me off :/

And you mean apart from the bottom 2 ? :tongue: .. and I have 2 as it is :smile: , so , Sheffield would be great for me , il probably get 4 , but applying to a lower boundary course is cheating you could say :tongue:
