Official University of Bristol 2022 Applicant Thread

Hello Bristol applicants! I applied Msci Theoretical Physics on the 16th Oct, and got an acknowledgement on 19th Oct. I'm really hoping I get an early offer from them so I know I have this safe choice there.
Also, I found Bristol's offer rates from 2018 - 2020, they are pretty elusive with them so they were hard to find but if anyone is interested I have attached the spreadsheet!

Where did you source this from? I couldn't find anything myself

Is it worth applying now at all or have they made all their offers for the year? I haven't been able to apply earlier because my teacher didn't do my reference and has been really slow at getting back to me, so I'm considering whether it's even worth applying at all at this point

Please, please please if anyone knows lmk what you think I'm so broken up about this

Of course it's still worth applying! Bristol has not made all their offers for the year, they are waiting for the jan deadline before making all their offers (which is why they put people on hold). Don't worry too much, you have plenty of time still.

Defo apply. Most Unis (esp competitive ones) haven't made offers. Only a handful to international or deferred students. You haven't lost out at all. Leeds, Durham, Bristol, LSE, UCL, Kings.

Guys, are we supposed to acknowledge the offers received in UCAS somehow, or is it not until we accept or decline later in the year?

I've received offers for Criminology and Criminology with study abroad from Bristol.

After you have received all your decisions, UCAS will set a deadline for you to confirm your firm and insurance choices. You don't have to reply until you have received all your offers.

Generally, if you receive your last decision by 20th May, you have to reply to your offers by 10th June and if you receive your last decision by 6th July, you have to reply to your offers by 14th July.

Hi Shrey, thank you so much for such a detailed reply. I read that it should be around May time, but it seemed a bit too long to me. :smile:

I had an e-mail from Bristol stating that "our application deadline to be given equal consideration with all our applicants for 2022 entry for most undergraduate courses is Wednesday 26 January 2022." So I'd have thought there is still a fair amount of time for them to consider applications.

Any law applicants here who haven't heard from the uni? I applied on 13 October and haven't heard a thing, so I'm getting a little worried now

I'm on hold. I wouldn't worry too much, law is such a popular subject they are probably taking their time getting through applications. Did you get the Christmas email? Just because if you did that confirms you haven't been 'forgotten' about :smile:

i am not sure, i believe it is reliable but i got it from a friend of mine and i'm not sure where they got it from. but they do seem to line up very well with the relative competitiveness of each course and how many people go to the university, so i believe they are right.
most likely from a what do they know request

Know how u feel. Am on hold was hoping to see acceptance email 😂🙄. So zig ..the only sense I can make of this seeming random replies from Bristol is that they might offer the highest scorers (combined LNAT/A/GCSE) first and then work down the list.

What are your predicted grades, if you don't mind me asking?
