Sussex uni offers 2021

Hi, Has anyone received an offer from Sussex uni? I applied for their Psychology with Education course almost 7 weeks ago and haven't heard anything. I went to the virtual open day and asked then when they would be given out offers and they asked me to email them, I emailed and they said they had not yet begun processing offers; this was over 3 weeks ago.

I really hate the waiting game and was thinking about ringing them to ask about my application. Do you think I'm being impatient and should just wait? Or should give them a call?

My daughter applied last week and only had the standard reply confirming receipt of application. Some uni’s seem to be sending out offers very quick... others may sit tight until next year 🙈🤦*♀️

What course has she applied for? I applied almost 7 weeks ago now and have 4 offers; I'm just waiting on Sussex and it's beginning to drive me mad! Does your daughter have any offers yet? Best of luck to her.

I applied at the start of October for Philosophy and got an offer at start of November. I think different departments process applications at different times though

The email I got from Sussex said they were still sorting out current year stuff and would get to processing new offers in a couple of weeks,
Good luck with it all

My predicted grades are AAB and I'm also doing an EPQ. I was offered AAB but they said if I put them as my firm they would reduce it to ABB. I'm not sure but I did read in other threads that they are quite lenient towards giving offers that are lower than the requirement. Hopefully, you will get an offer soon, so don't worry about it too much😊 What subjects do you do?

My son got the standard offer to study economics after a wait of 14 days since applying. He was also offered one grade lower if he makes Sussex his firm offer. Personally I don’t agree with universities trying to ‘buy’ students by offering lower grades in exchange for making them a firm choice, they should just offer the grades that students will need to do particular courses.

I sort of agree as no student wants to choose a top uni and have fellow students who have a much lower level of knowledge around them. But I believe a lot of uni’s will offer lower grades if you firm as they feel that student is one they would like on the course even if they fall slightly short on results day eg they may have experience that’s backed up with a strong personal statement etc

Hi, out of interest what were the terms of your offer. I was offered BCC for Philosophy if I make them my firm, which has thrown me a bit considering the entry requirements are ABB. Thanks

Hey, mine was BBB if I make them my firm and ABB if they’re not my firm. Maybe they just really like you! 😉👏🏼👏🏼
