When do UCL start giving geography offers out?

I applied for the Geography BA International Programme at UCL and submitted my UCAS application in mid-November. I was wondering if anyone knows when UCL typically sends out offers for geography. I know they receive a lot of applications and have already started sending offers for other courses.
UCL is my top choice and the only London university I haven't heard back from yet, so any insight would be really helpful!

Would be curious as to whether you've had a reply yet - I applied to KCL, UCL, Bristol, Southampton, and Reading (with AAA and a "very strong" personal statement). I applied in November, and I had offers back before Christmas from all, except UCL, which are still yet to get back to me (however, my friends who applied for Philosophy at UCL (A*A*A) have been given offers yesterday).

Hi! no, I have not gotten an offer yet from UCL. I've been seeing on tiktok they have already started offer holder days for Geography. I applied to UCL with A*,A,A predicted and have received all of my offers execpt for this bloody uni! (I'm on the UCL offer holder thread, nobody has actually mentioned they have gotten an offer for geo yet)

Thanks for the quick reply, mate! Yeah it's bloody terrible. They're notorious for being one of the last unis to give out offers, so fingers crossed. Good luck! :smile:

Hi, I applied around October and received an unconditional offer for BA geography on 12/8, which was quite surprising. I applied as an international student with AP scores. Still waiting for LSE tho

Nice! I’m leaning towards LSE bc I think it has better job prospects and their geography ranking is second to Oxford. If I end up in ucl, I might do geography with social data science. What about you?
