Please feel free to keep us informed with any offers you recieve - which should be in the following format:

•

Institution

•

Course Applied For

•

Offer (Number of Points or Grade Specifics)

•

What chances do you feel you have of achieving the terms of this offer ?

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:

•

1st September - Opening day for Applications

•

15th October - Closing Date for Applications to Oxbridge, medicine, dentistry, or vet. med/ vet. science

•

1st Janaury 04 - First date to recieve Art & Design Route B applications

•

30 June - Final Date for Submitting UCAS Extra applications before clearing

•

•

24 September - Final Date for Applications through Clearing

Important
If you recieve the response of your final University (AS6F) by date 1 you must reply with a decision of "Firm/Insurance/Offer Declined" by date 2

•

31 March 2004 - 28th April 2004

•

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.

AS12 - Confirmation of Place
Alternatively if you have reached made your offer, you will be sent one of these, to fill in and return to UCAS as SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AS18 - Acceptance in Clearing
This letter from UCAS is what you recieve should you be successful in gaining a place at an institution through clearing.

UCAS forms are processed in batches. If you haven't heard from them, you're probably in a later batch. Don't worry though, it won't affect your application.

This is my 6th choice uni after Oxford, York, Durham, Bath and Bristol. It was more an insurance choice than anything else. Although the postal strike is over it could take 2-3 weeks to clear the backlog of 10 million letters.

From which Uni?

there is something unusal going on. I am much more intelligent than this young lad in my class, in fact, he isnt even in my league in terms of intellect, yet he has an offer, and I, who has consistently produced work of a very high standard for the last 2 yrs has no offers. this makes me think about the worthiness of our education system. It is 100% corrupt.

Perhaps they've applied to another University you daft muppet!

Remember mate, pride comes before a fall, don't be so arrogant that you're going to kick up such a fuss about it. It's still relatively early and the response from each university varies so calm down a little.
