I know how you feel ... Something similar happened to me with Aberdeen lol
I'm an EU applicant and all my unis had send me acknowledgement mails except for Aberdeen. I just assumed that they are not sending out those mails at all, some unis don't do it, not a big deal. A few weeks later, when I came home, there was an Aberdeen letter in the kitchen. My heart was beating so fast, I was sooo nervous while opening it ...
And it just turned out to be a "Thank you for your application letter" lol. I somehow didn't expect that at all, I was so disappointed (even though it is not my first choice)


Ahahaha same, parents were like "there's a letter from Aberdeen!" And I was like YAS :tongue: and I read it and it was just the acknowledgement letter smh.
Still waiting a month later for a reply from any university aha!
Had a similar incident with Glasgow emailing me and making me panic and I read it and it was basically just wishing me a merry Christmas... :rolleyes:
Stirling's Christmas card was fun though. :colondollar:

You're EU and haven't had an e-mail either? Ahhhhhh, thank god I'm not the only one. :redface: I didn't get a letter though.


Yeah, I'm German! Where are you from?
And don't worry about not having received a letter yet, it took them about 3 weeks to send me mine. You'll probably get one soon :smile: I was really surprised that they are sending letters to applicants not living in the UK.

The Netherlands, so basically right next door. I wasn't expecting any universities to be sending letters to international applicants either, just happy to hear that I'm not alone. :biggrin: Where else are you applying?

Ikr? If they're gonna email me anything it should be an offer! :tongue: They're just taking their time I suppose.


Nearly died when I got an email from Birmingham saying "IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION" that turned out to be just telling me that my application has been sent on to an admissions tutor…

uni applications have become worse than any exam ever.
The longer unis are taking to send me decisions the closer I get to withdrawing everything and taking a gap year in the hope that re applying next year will get me quicker decisions since I'd already have my grades :redface:
