When will uni offers come in?

I've applied to bath, Durham, york, Oxford and Warwick for biology and was wondering if anyone knew if these unis are known for sending offers quite quickly or not? The waiting is killing me and would love to know ow if anyone's got any idea how long I will be waiting
York has already sent me an offer btw x

Oxford offers come out on a specific date in January, but they start notifying people about interviews in late november. Warwick has been been giving out offers, so you might get that soon. Durham usually only starts giving offers in mid December. York and Bath could be anytime really.

It’s genuinely been hell. Not only am I worried of all rejections but I have the TMUA in 2 days and am contemplating if I should move it to the January sitting to try give myself more time to revise or something . This is all too stressful

Kinda sure. It’s a math test used and I’m sitting it for imperial math and stats for finance bits I think it’s used a lot for like computer science or econ at Cambridge too.

Yh I’m tranna do math and stats (for finance I hope but not all unis offer it). But I only changed to this course recently because I flopped bio in year 12 so I’m quite late so I’m probably a weaker candidate then like most other Oxbridge/imperial applicants

Oh no I just know about the ucat from dentistry applicant friends of mine - a B is still super good tho! I do chemistry biology maths and Spanish right now and love the combo but can see how someone could struggle with bio if they weren't enthusiastic about it x
