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.

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.

Well done! you must be one of the first to get to hear from Bristol for Psychology - will it be your first choice? Im still waiting to hear from them for Psychology/Zoology Joint Honours.

It will be my first choice if Nottingham reject me, if they don't then it'll be my insurance definitely!

Do you know whether Durham has informed UCAS of their decision? I'm still waiting (and getting rather paranoid) for the university to inform them of my offer.

Congratulations on your offers by the way!

According to the Durham tracker, the application hasn't been sent to UCAS yet!!! So weird eh? But I got the letter a few days ago, and I'm from Brunei where post takes FOREVER to reach.

Well, I've been calling everyone I can think of to enquire about my offer, but it seems that the deadline for the universities to submit the offers isn't until April (I mean...APRIL!!!). Don't suppose it will take that long really, but now I've been in this proces for so I should like to have some peace of mind.

Once you have recieved all of your offers, and UCAS send you the letter asking you to make your decisions, how long do you have to decide?

Are these just examples though? (showing that you have 4 weeks to decide or something), because in the UCAS booklet I have it says that everyones reply date will be individual to them, and you must look on the letter you recieve.

*sigh*
ucas is so confusing.....
