When to expect undergrad Biology offer? - 2021 admission

I am applying to St Andrews, Edinburgh, Imperial and UCL for Biology/Biological sciences with a high IB predicted grade. When should I expect earliest some responses about offers/rejections? :smile:

from my experience, psychologically (no other reason) it's a mistake to apply too early because some of these unis are notoriously slow at getting back... your first response could be in 2-3 weeks time, but at least one of your unis could keep you waiting till March, and likely most will get back in mid/late Feb... so it will drive you mad!

Haha... great... I also apply to Cambridge, that's the reason for the early application :/ I'll hope for the few weeks though! Thank you! :smile:

Dont know maybe browser problems or something I will try ot. Thanks for replying. I got an email from oxford confirming my app but it stated it would give acknowledgement mail in late oct or something. I didnt hear from any other sadly. Good luck for you application! Which one do you intend to be your firm choice?

I hope all will go well for you too! :smile: I'll wait for the offers and then decide accordingly I think. All of them seem like great places which I'd love.
