Durham university admissions (natural sciences)

I applied in October (early admissions) for natural sciences (physics/chemistry) and still haven't gotten a reply. My grades are 4A* and my teacher reference is good. Why haven't they replied yet? My friend got an offer for aerospace engineering with a much later application and lower grades. I'm not really worrying as I guess it varies with departments but has anyone gotten an offer for natural sciences at Durham?

Not yet, same situation as you but w/ 3A*s predicted. I wouldn't deep it too much though, they tend to be sent out late.

Can I ask if when you submit your choices for combination of subjects for Nat Sci? Is it during the admissions process or after you've officially had an offer?

Hiya

Once you apply, you will receive an email to submit your subject choices so your application can be considered in light of those subjects. More info is here: https://studyatdurham.microsoftcrmportals.com/en-US/knowledgebase/article/KA-02395

Thank you so much, can I check roughly when they receive this email? My son applied this cycle but it is not sure he has received the email.

Hi there

I'm afraid I don't know how long it would take but if you applied over 2 weeks ago and are sure you haven't received the email (check the spam folder too), it's worth contacting the admissions team to see where the holdup is- https://www.durham.ac.uk/study/ask-us/
