bristol law still on hold

has anyone else just got an email saying they’re still on hold? i’ve been on hold since like february and im starting to get worried as bristol is hopefully my first choice. i’m predicted 3 A*s, got a 28 in my lnat and have offers from king’s and edinburgh so far. has anyone heard anything? or been put on hold still?

Yup! Just got the email as well. Guessing this means we are the applicants that are on a “waiting list”. I imagine what we are “waiting” for are applicants who have gotten an offer from Bristol but will probably choose a better school to firm so their spots will free up. But, there is no guarantee that we will make the cut:frown:All we can do is wait, wish you the best!

My daughter double checked her email tonight and Bristol emailed to confirm she is still on hold! No update on the UCAS site which is the one she has been checking.

Hi, my son received offer from Bristol last night after being put on hold. He applied in December. Non contextual. Don’t lose hope!

My daughter was rejected today, but offered Criminolgy...she is going to go elsewhere. Good luck to any others still waiting.

Maybe you guys could think of the ways forward - unis to firm and insure. Plan A with Bristol offer, Plan B without Bristol offer.
