London Met UCAS Response Time

5

I submitted my application via UCAS at the end of January, roughly around the 26th. I've received updates and offers from my other choices since then, but London Met has taken unusually long (or reasonably long, idk). Looking it up, it seems their typical response time for UCAS is 2-3 weeks, and yet I haven't seen anything on UCAS. Doesn't seem stop them from emailing me random newsletters lmao. Anyone know if this is an unusual amount of time to wait? My UCAS says my choices have to respond to my application by April but I don't want to be waiting for them till then when it might be cutting it too late to file for visas and student aid.

You cannot apply for a visa until you have a confirmed place - ie. when you have met all the conditions of your chosen offer. International applicants made offers in Clearing in August still manage to get visas etc in time to start their courses, so panicking in March may be a bit premature.

Right, I just get a bit anxious with bureaucratic visa stuff. But do you know about the waiting time for London Met? They're the last ones as I had 2 courses from them as 2 of my choices.

All Unis have until 14 May to make their decisions - and thousands of other applicants wont have all of their decisions yet either.

Hi, we completely understand how nerve wracking it can be whilst waiting to hear back from your university choices! 😬

Universities have until Wednesday 14 May (tomorrow) to respond to applicants via UCAS if the application was submitted by the 29 January 2025 deadline. If we haven't responded to your application yet, we will really soon. Best of luck! ✨

Well, to be fair if you don't send a decision by tomorrow it wil just get rejected automatically. So by 'soon' it's either 'tomorrow' or 'let UCAS do it because we ran out of time'.
