Nice to connect here. Have you heard anything from the department?

Hi, I've also applied.

No contact with the department so far, other than an email about scholarship opportunities.

I don't believe they typically reach out (except for that mass scholarships email) before simply accepting/declining or waitlising offers.

Same here, good luck! :smile:

Aside from upload button disappearing my portal’s otherwise the same

Anyone know what the typical wait time is between upload button disappearing and offerdocs changing to 4?
I’ve been on offerdocs 3 for several days.
I’ve seen comments here about a wide range of days, so I know it varies - but wondering if anyone has more detail or personal experience to share

I’ve heard on some forums that it’s anywhere from an hour to a week, so I think we’re still a while away. Also - where do you see how many docs you have? I’d like to check mine also!

Okay so I guess I need to be patient 😅
To check, you can right click anywhere on the Application Details page, and then control-F and search offerdocs

Oh that’s so odd! I just did this and I don’t have any ‘offer docs’ on my page, maybe that is a sign of good news for you if you do haha 😆

Have you tried without the space in between?
‘Offerdocs’
Either way I’m probably reading too deep into this, and only time will tell haha

I submitted the application in early November. No change on the portal yet 🥹

My button is gone and offerdocs at 3. (For folks on chrome you need to go to the application details page, 'inspect' the element, then search for 'offerdocs' and above you'll see docs: #)

Same here. Does yours also say '#DALS: NNN'?

DALS is probably shorthand for something like Document and Letter Status or Document Allocation/Loading System (theories vary). The NNN part means that no decision documents (offer or rejection letters) have been uploaded to your portal yet. It's really the 3 or 4 that matters most.

I've heard elsewhere on the Student Room that an N turns into a Y once one of the documents is opened by the candidate. The docs include something like offer conditions, offer guide, terms of admission etc.

Hi all, I've looked at 'offerdocs' after inspecting element. Like others, it says: 'docs: 3, #OFFERDOCS:' and '#DALS: NNN--'.

Looking at the 'Actions' section, I still have four options: 'View Application PDF', 'Manage Referees', 'Supporting Documents', and 'Withdraw Application'.

Is this the same for others?

Additionally, they claim that 'You will usually receive the outcome of your application from your academic department about 8 to 10 weeks after the application deadline.'

From the 29th of January deadline, this would be the 26th of March to the 9th of April. This means that we should all be receiving letters next week if we haven't already. Otherwise, they will pass their deadline. I was waitlisted for this course two years ago, and something similar happened. I didn't get an email saying I was waitlisted until early May, I believe, if not later. I hope this doesn't happen again, as it is nerve-wracking.

Has anyone received an offer of acceptance or rejection, and has anyone been waitlisted yet?

Thanks

I went onto Chrome Inspect - Network - Response - Search bar. When I search 'pool', I get a list of code that shows 'offer holder pool'.

Is it the same for everyone else?

My upload button has not disappeared yet. Offerdocs: 3. All Action buttons still there.
