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:

•

10 May 2004 - 7th June 2004

•

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.

AS6-F
Final Offer & Reply Slip
This is the document which contains the response from your last University to make a decision on making you an offer - at the bottom will be a slip to which you must reply, within the allocated deadline, with your decision on which to accept as Conditional Firm, and Conditional Insurance, Declines, (or indeed just an Unconditional Firm - if you are really lucky).

AS9
Audit Statement
This comes after you have made your decision on CF, CI, UF, D, and confirms your current position.

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.

AS10 - Clearing Entry Form
If you do not succeed in making your offers for Firm or Insurance, you will be sent one of these.

didnt anyone check your Ucas form for you before you sent it off?

They might not notice they have so many to read I'm sure they all blur into one.

I had it checked several times and noone picked up on it! But that's probably due to the fact that noone can spell his name anyway! lol Hopefully the admissions people won't notice.. :smile:

If my post promted that thought Elle I'd better explain, I'm applying post A-level so all my offers will be unconditional.

UC offers pre a-level generally only occur when a points total has already been met by the applicant in their AS levels.

Thanks Sazzle. I thought that unconditional meant they really like you application and they wanted you to perform better or something by taking the pressure off!?!

When oxbridge did admissions exams they often gave unconditional or EE offers to the people who did well.

But they were stopped from basing admissions solely on their own tests quite a few yrs ago.

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:

*waves to the Cambridge admissions tutor*

dont worry, im sure they wont pick it up.
