Hi, I’ve a doubt. I have got an offer and received a request to send my college preferences. Can I send my preferences now?

I sent mine now but it says you can amend them later anyway.

Does it matter when you send them?

No, the order people are allocated is random so you can send them any time up until the deadline and won't be disadvantaged :smile:

Hi, I submitted my application on Oct 16 but haven't heard back from Durham yet (Classics BA). My friend submitted it 3 days before me and got into Durham for physics. International applicant. Does anybody else know if I'll hear back from them any time soon? Remembrance Day is also coming up so I think chances are slim that I'll get anything over the weekend, if not today

I applied on the 27th of September and still haven't heard back from them other than the applicant portal login. I applied for CS with 5 A*s in CS, Further Maths, Maths, Chemistry and EPQ (predicted grades). I think it'll take some time anyway because no one from my school got any Durham offers till March last year and that includes the people that got into Oxbridge.

That's what I thought but then I got an offer for CS 2 weeks after them acknowledging my application. I sent my application in on 27/09

Well done! Where are the offers from? I haven't gotten any offers so far, though I received an invitation to interview at Cambridge yesterday

Congrats on the interview! I applied to Caius College for CS but got the rejection a couple of days ago but I know it's because of the TMUA (not that it was hard but because of my own stupid admin mistake).

Thank you!! Sorry to hear that, an admin mistake sounds awful. I'm applying for English so didn't have to sit the admissions exam until I'd gotten my interview offer, though I've had the exam now I'm still super nervous about the actual interview 😭

Hi,

I have just received an offer to study Politics and Economics and I have to rank the colleges.
(I am an international student)

What are the chances of getting allocated to University College (or any other Bailey college)? Does my field of study/the fact that I'm international affect the college allocation?

I think you'll be fine....trust yourself as much as you can. What will happen will happen. Let me know what the verdict is.

No. You just rank your colleges and then they select you.

Congrats on the offer by the way.
