Hi there 👋

Well done for getting a offer for midwifery although it is on a reserve list 😞 😞 😞 as I am sure you would have preferred it was a offer to do midwifery instead of being put on the reserve list 😞 😞

At least you have a slight outside chance of getting a offer but this will be dependent on other people pulling out of the coursework ( this rarely happens but sometimes someone do pull out) so therefore whoever is first in line on the reserve list will be offered it until they have filled up the necessary allocations of places.


Going on experience of this happening there's a very small chance of getting a offer on the reserve list 😞 😞 😞.
I'm surprised they haven't offered yous a alternative nursing course instead of putting yous on a reserve list and maybe if someone did pull out then they could offer the first person on the list it.


I would never say never until you get told by the university that they have now filled all confirmed allocated places for September starting.

If you applied by the January equal consideration deadline, then unis are required to make their decisions by 14 May. Good luck. :crossedf:

It doesn't matter what place you are on the reservation list.....

The list is incase anyone who has already accepted the offer but then decide to pull out of the course so therefore the university will then ask whoever is next in line on the reserve list if they want to do it or not and they continue through the list until they have filled up the allocated amount of students for the academic year intake.
