Hi! I've applied for Politics 02 and Sociology 01, what about yourself? I'm not too hopeful, in all honesty. I worry that my averages aren't as high as other applicants, even with extenuating circumstances. How are you feeling about it?

Same! I just hope I conveyed my want to pursue further study & my passion for these subjects enough - slightly worried I didn’t ‘sell myself’ to the degree they’d like in the personal statement, but I can’t change it now I suppose! The wait is horrendous, haha.
Good luck - I hope we find some other applicants, too!

Ahh absolutely agree with you, I’m sure we did the best we could, I found that it was kinda hard to distinguish the questions from each other as they were kinda the same, what did you think ? fingers crossed and hopefully we can find some more applicants too !

I agree! How did you approach the PS? I know it’ll differ between subjects, but I focused on each project individually between paragraphs - so worried it wasn’t what they’re looking for, and it’s such little space to convey so much 😖 as an aside, what degree do you study?

I split it up using the guidance they offered in the website so first part more subject /experience/achievement based and part 2 more about my personal and extenuating circumstances with passions woven into it. I agree, it was difficult! As all the projects I chose centred around the same theme (sustainability/ecology) I was able to discuss it all more inter-connectedly. I study International Relations and East Asian studies, how about yourself ?

Got the generic confirmation email this morning that my application has been sent to academic advisors for consideration! The wait for rejection officially begins!

I’ve applied, got the email this morning to say my application has been passed on to the assessors- honestly I have zero hopes of getting in 😂😂 I’ve been applying for a lot of graduate programmes and am struggling to get my foot in the door; plus I’m a mature student with lots of work experience so it’s pretty hard (I applied for the population science areas)

No updates here either. I know I won’t get in, so I’m choosing not to worry at this point! Finishing this dissertation is enough hassle, haha.

Nooo, I have faith, no matter what happens. I feel that though, my dissertation is really testing all my patience :frown:

There is a student room discussion for last year's UNIQ+, I noticed they got notified about acceptance around the 27th of April and rejections around early may so I guess well hear around then too.
