There are still two months to go until unis have to make decisions so hang on in there. :smile:

Thank you. So many offers have been sent out for physics.
Just feels like all those left must be on the auto rejection pile.

Definitely dont give up hope yet! When did you send your application in? I got my offer in december, around 2 months after i applied, now they'll have even more applications to sift through so the wait time might just be longer

Thank you. Sent in October. Home, non-contextual, 3A* predicted (M, FM, P), PS all relevant to Physics. GCSEs 999999877776(Eng). References fine.
I wonder - do some unis wait to see how many of the early offer holders firm/insure or decline them...thereby freeing up more availability?
Just feels frustrating.

We're quite similar actually! I also applied in October. Home, non contextual, 4A* (M,FM,P,CS). Ps was a mix of physics, astro and engineering. GCSEs: 9999999887 Good reference.
So Im sure you have a very good shot!
im not sure about that, but i can agree that the wait is definitely frustrating lol. Where else have you applied to?

Very similar! Maybe the 3 A levels predicted makes it weaker. Nevermind. Thanks
Oxford rejection. Waiting for Imperial. Have Durham - very happy with that. And you?

Ahh maybe. Either way its still a very strong app. I've got imperial, ucl, warwick and kings. Im deciding between ucl and imperial. probably leaning towards firming imperial and insuring ucl
