University of Nottingham A101 2021 Entry

So why mention August specifically then?

First email said July and August and second one August only. Maybe so we don't expect anything sooner and leave them alone?

Anyone had any news?

I know it’s almost impossible to know, but does anyone think we’ll get anywhere with this waitlist? This anticipation seems like wasted energy if it doesn’t come to anything!
I’m toying with the idea of retaking the UCAT this summer so at least I’ll have the option of applying to Warwick/perhaps Newcastle next year if needs be. How’s everyone else doing? Be interesting to know if others are feeling the same excruciating trepidation I feel!

I guess this decision was easier for me since I was soo far down the waiting list, but I've booked both gamsat and ucat again purely because, I rather not waste a whole year. Especially since from the thread it seems like there may not be much movement in the waiting list. The worst that could happen is that you'll lose a bit of money if you book the exam but don't end up sitting it because you've got an offer/ sat it before you got your offer.

I think you can get a refund if you don’t sit and cancel UCAT

I’ve been trying to think of what scenarios would lead to movement on the waiting list. The initial movement would have been UCAS choices. Is there still chance that people don’t get undergrad results they need? And also slight chance is people changing minds about GEM or going to Uni this year?

Imo I think you should just be patient rather than speculating what could go wrong for offer holders who have worked so hard like all of us to be in this position

I would say it’s more hypothesising than speculating. I wouldn’t wish anything to go wrong for anyone, I was just trying to figure out what situations would lead to movement on the waitlist (if any)!

Hypothesising/speculating same difference...

Either way there’s no harm in trying to work out the chances of waitlist movement.

Either way, this is no place for discussing what could potentially go wrong for offer holders; (many of who like me still read this forum) such as not meeting the grade requirements... if you really think about that keep it to yourself

It’s not a big deal.. let people speculate/hypothesise, live and let live. It’s not like they are actively sabotaging the chances of offer holders sticking to this course.
