Also we would like to know how when you get interviews.

As a reference point, I would now like to keep a ready reckoner for you of the deadlines:

•

18th June 2004 - 7th July 2004

Missing these deadlines puts your place at risk.

Please stick to the format, any general chit-chat can be kept to the forum, we want this just so we can follow people's progress, and so you can see what sort of time scale / how quickly the Universities are responding with offers etc.

Paper Trail

Confirmation Card
If you have sent off your application by post, you should soon afterwards recieve back your confirmation card which says that they have recieved your application.
YOU DO NOT REQUIRE THIS IF YOU ARE USING ELECTRONIC OR THE APPLY ROUTES OF APPLICATION.

AS2
Confirmation Letter - This document from UCAS confirms the courses and institutes to which you have applied, as well as your Online Enquiry Password, which allows you to track your progress.

Acknowledgements
These will come from each University, thanking you for applying to them, they will get back to you in the near future with their offer details, both on their letter headed paper, and by AS3 (below)

AS3
Offer Letter - These documents are what UCAS send to you with each an University replies to you with an offer. It may contain a rejection, a conditional offer, or unconditional offer.

AS9
Audit Statement

More Acknowledgements
Universities will now reply to you telling you that they appriciate you choosing them as Firm/Insurance, and will invite you up on their post-application open days. It is a good idea to go to these.

Depends on the subject and/or uni. 9 times out of 10 interviews are as much for students to get a better feel of a place and interview the staff about the course than the other way round.

I just found out that I am offered conditional entry.

- University of Edinburgh
- BEng in Computer Science
- B(Math), BB
- B for Mathematics is not hard, I have a secured A for Computing, and another B from either Chem or Phy I supposed. A pretty good chance to fulfill the condition :tongue:

- Cardiff University
- Psychology
- 'No details in database' ... But should be along the lines of AAB.
- I'M SO HAPPY! Cardiff is one of three that I'd happily choose as my first choice. If my offer does turn out to be AAB, I might be able to get it, as those were my AS results.

The quicker you send it off the better. It is not too late at all - something like 50% of people send theirs in the last week!

SH*T!!!!!!!!!!

I was just researching something on Gandhi on the net and refered back to my personal statement 'cos I'm convinced it's going to come up at interview, and saw that I spelt Gandhi two different ways on adjacent lines of the statement (Gandhi vs Ghandi)!!!

What university's gonna want me now after I said what an inspiration figure he was, only to have spelt his name wrong! D'oh! :frown:
