•

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.

Hey ben2111, we applied to nearly the same set of unis!

York - unconditional (English)
St. Andrews - unconditional (English/French)
Warwick - unconditional (English/French)
Durham (Castle - how stupid am I?) - rejected (English)
UCL - still waiting (English)
Nottingham - still waiting (English/French)

Has anyone (especially internationals) heard from UCL or Nottingham? Since I'm international, I didn't need to go for an interview, but I heard that if they don't invite you, you'll usually receive a letter asking you to send them some critical essays. And last I heard from Nottingham was when I received my fee status confirmation letter. I'm getting impatient...

I'm from Denmark, but I did my IB in Singapore. I applied for English/French at three unis and just English at the three other unis since they don't offer that combination. Anyway, congratulations on getting six offers! Wow :biggrin:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! First choice!

Liverpool University
B520 | Orthoptics BSc (Hons)
Conditional offer
240 UCAS tariff points

*dances around the room* At last, all my replies are in - 5/6 with one rejection from Nottingham (hahaha, I don't care 'cause I'm so happy happy happy!)

Best of all, this is the lowest offer of the lot so I'll get in there no problem - even if I didn't continue with any of my A-Levels I'd still have 210 tariff points! Probably have Edinburgh (Zoology BSc) as my insurance if they'll let me, though I shouldn't need it!

Yay, that made my week :tongue:

Although I submitted my application late (9th February), I have already received two offers:

London Metropolitan University
Communications and English Language Studies
Conditional offer - IELTS score of at least 5.5 overall or 5.0 in each module

King's College London
English Language & Communication
Unconditional offer

I am a mature student (therefore no A-level requirement) and from the Czech Republic, hence the IELTS condition.
