Uni of Sheffield - Journalism Studies 2014

Recently received an email from Sheffield Uni informing me that they are reviewing my application. As I am very impatient/excited/nervous, can somebody who has already received an offer from Sheffield to study Journalism Studies tell me how long it took after sending their UCAS application?

Or somebody who is applying for the same course but has not yet heard anything share my anxieties?!

Caity xx

I also applied for Journalism! A few days after I received a confirmation email from the university that they had received my application they offered me a place on the basis I get ABB!

I'd just wait, another person I spoke to had to wait 2 weeks so just depends really! Best of luck :smile:

I have an offer from them! It took them just over a week to get back to me I think, it may have even been just a week! Got an offer of ABB too, what are your predicted grades, both of you? :smile: and are either of you going to their department open day next March?

Hey!

I had my offer about a week later too. Was so relieved considering I am making it my first choice. Hopefully, If I don't get ABB and only BBB they will still consider me at the end of the year.. Hopefully!

Best of luck guys! X

Was this also for the BA Journalism course at Sheffield? I'm predicted BBB so hopefully that means they might still let me in at the end of the year if I miss out on that A! What are your predicted?
