Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

How long do mature students have to wait for an offer from UCAS?

Hey ho people,

I already received my A Level grades 3 years ago, so I won't be kept in suspense until results day next August. I completed and sent off my UCAS application yesterday morning and I've opted to study linguistics at UCL, KCL, SOAS, Queen Mary or Roehampton. UCL and Queen Mary are my top choices.

Since I already have my A Level grades, I'm wondering if my chosen universities will make a decision sooner rather than later.

Has anyone had a similar experience applying as an older undergrad student?

Thanks in advance!

I think it should be faster but then it all depends on the uni ...

I did them last year so I also have the grades already, I sent it off a week ago and have 2/5 offers both are which are obviously unconditional. So not you can still probably expect to wait the same length of time as that's what it looks like is happening with me.
