University of Bristol A100 2022 Entry

I just got an offer. I thought my interview went badly but apparently I’m a bad judge of interviews. My interview was on the 23rd of February.

Good luck to everyone still waiting

What time did the offer come through?

Congrats!! What time did it come through?

hmmm it seems like all the offers in this first batch is contextual or unconditional...? and congrats to everyone who got an offer~

interview on 10/01 and put on hold on 22/02. havent heard anything back afterwards. at this point, i think they just lost my application 🤷🏻.

omg well done! ABB they must have really liked u!! are you a standard home applicant? UCAS can’t have made a mistake - there might be a delay in Bristol emailing you. good luck!! I’m still on hold, not expecting much as bristol was my worst interview 🤷🏻*♀️

I’m the same! I think they might send the emails after ucas as I think a few people had the same thing happen to them, congrats tho!!

They don’t do batches. The way Bristol do it is in a rolling basis. When you do your interview they will either waitlist you or give you on offer if your score is high enough to mean it’s very unlikely enough people will score higher than you and you get rejected. Then once they have done all the interviews they will invite the next highest scoring candidates.

This is with insider knowledge, I wouldn’t have figured it out from just the student room.

So how come people have already got rejections and aren’t just simply on hold?

The way I see it- say they have 200 offers left to give out, and have to reply to 500 interviewed people and decide whether to invite more. The bottom 300 in that list would be a rejection no matter how good the new people invited score, because if the new people score below the bottom 300 they'd be rejected anyway (and the old people wouldn't be bumped up to the top 200 no matter what). If the new people score better than the top 200 then they would displace people that were in the top 200 originally, and the people that get displaced would be rejected. I think that makes sense?

I’m in the same boat (int 12/01)
