I know right! I wasn't expecting it to take more than 6 weeks (excluding the holiday break). I applied for the MSc Financial mathematics programme and I can only wait till Feb 4 as I have an offer from Manchester for MSc Quantitative Finance with Feb 4 as the acceptance deadline.

I am literally in the same situation! Got an offer from Manchester and the first acceptance deadline was on Jan 7th but because I made an appeal to change my tuition fee status, they extended my deadline until Feb 4th.

Could I get someone's opinion on this?

I'm thinking of applying to KCL's MSc Neuroscience but all I have available on my transcript so far are my 1st and 2nd year grades which add up to about 59%. I know that KCL wants 60% minimum but unfortunately I'm still waiting on grades back from 3 of my modules and I won't get them until mid-late Febuary. Is it worth applying once I receive those grades back even though it will be towards the deadline? Or should I just wait until I get my final grade in July? There might still be some spaces left.

You could try to apply now. If they like your application they might give you a conditional 2:1 offer (60%). What is your undergraduate course?

Psychology. I just don't want to risk applying now and then having my application rejected.

May I know how you got the deadline extended to Feb 4 from Jan 17? I'll give it a try if possible to buy some more time

So basically if they give you an offer and categorise you as an International student paying International fees but you think you deserve the Home fee status, you can make an appeal to change your fee status from International to UK tuition fees. Here's the link on their website: https://www.studentsupport.manchester.ac.uk/finances/tuition-fees/assessments/appeals/ I am not British but I am european and I have been living in the UK for a while so I made an appeal for them to change my fee status from international to Home fees and this process took around 3 weeks so I emailed the admissions office and told them I made an appeal and that the process will be finished after January 7th so they extended the deadline until February 4th. They have just changed my fee status a couple of days ago to Home and they told me I should receive a new offer letter with the updated fee status and maybe they will extend the deadline for accepting the application for 3 more weeks after I receive the new offer letter

I'm glad to see at least one AAF applicant on this platform. I applied recently though (20/1/22), hope they start reviewing our applications soon.

Hi everyone,
I have just been notified that all my documents have been checked and are OK.
Does anyone know usually how long will they give a decision after checking the documents?

Thanks and good luck on your applications!
