Have you spoken to them lately? They told me that they'll be reviewing my application but I'm not sure how long that will take. The quicker they do so, the quicker my anxiety can go away.

I spoke to QMUL a few weeks ago and they said they won't be reviewing pc applications. Since when did they change their mind? Also congrats!

I've been emailing the department I'm applying to (school of chemistry) for the past couple of months and haven't had a reply, which sucks. Yesterday I emailed the general admissions telling them about my situation so I'm hoping to hear a response back soon

Ah, in that case, good luck. They reached out to me a week ago after I explained my situation to them. I haven't heard from them since, so I'm looking to contact that them again in order to find out how long it would take to review a pc's application.

Not long ago I emailed them a week ago and they are reviewing applications, check their website for their new policies. What department are you applying to?

I'm applying to study Biology, so that should be the Biological and Biomedical Sciences department. Did you contact the general admissions email, or the department itself?

Hi, has anyone read the whole proposal by Ofqual regarding the Exams in 2021?
I am kind of mad about the way they talked about private candidates:
"All students who were preparing to take GCSEs, AS and A levels next year will have
been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Most will have been directly
affected by the closure of schools and colleges. Students who were studying
independently, for example because they are home educated, might have been less
directly affected by these closures, but they will, nevertheless, have been affected by
changes to routine aspects of their lives"

Right, having the exam cancelled and being completely ignored by Ofqual since the day schools closed and exams were cancelled, not getting any grades and having to wait another year for my A Levels is just a "change to routine aspect" to my live. I cannot believe that they wrote this. After all us private candidates have been through. I signed up just to post about this.

OFQUAL have to have something personal with private candidates, the number of times we've been insulted in their so-called consultations. If only they'd dedicated the same amount of effort towards actually doing their jobs instead of writing articulate jabs aimed at 18, 19 year olds.
