2025 entry A100 / A101 Medicine fastest and slowest offer senders

it’s my favourite thread
-think it is generous of everyone to share not only their stats., but their hope invested in each choice of options
-really can’t imagine even Cardiff could reject a non Welsh applicant who has a UCAT in the ball park of 3000 ( with the requisite strong GCSEs) but the beauty of this thread is we learn from it
during the application process in real time, along with the aspiring medics

No fifth choice as she's deferring entry to take a gap year, so plans to reapply for med and a back up next year.

I haven’t had an acknowledgement from Newcastle and idk if I should be worried.
Thanks

My daughter hasn’t received one from newcastle either. We didn’t realise that until I posted on here Friday evening. She’s going to call them to check on Monday. I’ve heard it should be fine as the other unis have acknowledged her application so the UCAS form should have gone through fine. Maybe they are just slow or it’s gone to spam file etc but good to check anyway.

Newcastle admin is possibly one of the better ones (if not best) based on my recent experience with unis - they are very quick to respond. I applied for biomed for 5th choice and they responded the first Monday after I submitted mine on the 4th, plus previous communications.
Worthwhile checking your spam folder + I presumed your DD had applied for Newcastle's partner? I believe their admin tend to wait for Partners dept to validate your DD's Partner application as well. Am pretty sure they have received your application as your DD can check her UCAS online account too.
Don't worry as it will be just fine - although its totally understandable to be anxious with no acknowledgement!
