Even though it may still feel like year 13 has only just started, a lot of students will be thinking about what they’ll do after finishing their A-levels.
There's just over three months until the Ucas deadline (31 January 2024) – so you've still got time to decide whether to apply.
Do you think you’ll go to university next year? Maybe you’ve already got your application ready, or are you still researching your options?

The deadline for my school is in 3 days time, i'm still deciding universities( Im looking at 12) and i haven't finished my personal statement. I did the basics but i need to add more personality. Idk why my school decided to do the deadline at the start of November, thats way to early.
I submitted mine on 4th Oct for Comp Sci and I've applied to Oxford, Bath and Southampton (I'm going to add more 'secure' choices later). I realised I'd applied for a Bachelors at Southampton when I wanted to apply for their Integrated Masters' course instead and had a little panic - I emailed and called them several times and no one answered. I almost forgot about it to be honest because I was revising for the MAT, when on the 23rd Oct, I got an offer from them and I panicked again. I called their Department of Engineering, and after several tries, it's all fixed now! I'm really happy that I've got at least one offer and I can't wait to hear from my other choices.
Good luck to everyone and I hope that we all get the best possible outcomes

I applied in mid-September and haven't received anything yet. Is this normal?

Nothing as in offers or as in communication in general?

Certainly for Oxford that is normal, as for the others I do not know but I wouldn't worry about it as there is still loads of time

offers. I received the confirmations a few days later

The thing is... if there's an equal consideration policy, why are people receiving offers now?

My friend has applied for Oxford, UCL and Durham and hasn't received an offer for any of those as far as I'm aware. The unis you've applied to tend to wait til after the Jan deadline so everyone gets a chance to submit their applications from what I've heard at least! I'm sure it's nothing to worry about and this might sound harsh, but there's not much you can do right now, so try to relax!
