I’ve heard back from UCL so far but like you I’m waiting for LSE (for history) - honestly I don’t have my hopes up for hearing back any time soon, I’m looking at maybe March! If you got all of them which one do you think you would firm?


I am also applying for History! :smile: I am glad you’ve heard from UCL, hopefully I will hear something soon. A shame it will take so long, but these things happen I suppose I was just having a moment. If I got all of them (touch wood), I’d definitely firm St Andrews, what about you?

You've possibly picked the 5 most notoriously slow unis there, so I really wouldn't worry! I think UCL and St Andrews offers are starting to trickle out, but Edinburgh has done barely anything yet (can't speak for the other 2 so much but I know they're slow). I think unis are still aiming to be done around late March, but Edinburgh today said that they might still be going through applications in April, and I imagine others will be too.

Again, don't worry, very few people have heard from any of your options yet! :smile:


You’re very right! I suppose all along I expected I’d be waiting until late February-early March but I hoped and prayed I’d hear something sooner! It’s so annoying this will all drag out but if it’s all for the purpose of hearing good news in the end it’s worth the (agonising) wait! Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciate it :smile: Where are you applying?

Only one offer here, waiting ... waiting .... it’s agonisingly slow but you’re not alone, as op said, it’s the particular unis that are yet to make the bulk of their offers.

Aw man, I hope you get some good news soon! I don’t feel too bad when I think of it that way, I am still desperate to have some news though! Which unis are you waiting for?

I’m torn between LSE and UCL atm (getting rejected from LSE would honestly just make deciding easier lol). St Andrews is such a beautiful uni - I’m so envious of everyone who is going to be studying there 😩

I've applied to Warwick, Cambridge, UCL, St Andrews and Edinburgh - St Andrews were surprisingly fast for me (*only* 2 months haha), UCL took about 3 and a half months (although I've applied to a small course there so that would explain why I heard back early compared to the UCAS deadline), and I'm still waiting on Edinburgh after nearly 4 months, they're very slow! :biggrin:
I got 3/4 responses within a week.

Now I'm waiting on MMU to respond. It's been about 3/4 weeks now. They need to hurry up.

If anyone has applied to same courses as me say hi :smile:

Hi, we’ve applied to the very similar courses for KCL and Manchester! The only difference is for Manchester I’ve applied for the MSci. I’ve got an offer from Manchester, which is so weird because you received an acknowledgment email 10 days before me?!

Hi @L. Baul

The UCAS deadline for applications submitted before the 29th January must have had a response by the 20th May. We aim to process applications as quickly and possible. The average turn around time is 4-6 weeks to receive a decision on your application however this could be slightly longer. We are currently working through a large amount of applications and ask that you please bear with us. Hopefully you should hear from us soon.

Good luck and Best wishes,
Carly :smile:
