UCAS reject by default date: what to do if you are still waiting on decisions

Hi guys! I hope exam revision is going well and is not too stressful!
Next wednesday (14th May) is the UCAS Undergraduate reject by default (RBD) date. This is the deadline for when the universities need to make a decision on your application if it was submitted before 29 January. If they do not make a decision your application will be rejected by UCAS and this will show on your UCAS Track.

If you are still waiting to hear back from some unis, I would highly suggest contacting them. As it could be that they are waiting on some outstanding information from you (e.g. interviews, numeracy tests, documents, portfolio) before they can make a decision. By contacting them before the deadline, you can possibly provide them this info and it could bank you an offer! You could also check your uni specific applicant portals for any messages from their admissions teams. You can contact Brighton by sending an enquiry or calling us! (Mon-Fri 9-5)

I hope this helps anyone and I wish you all luck in your exams!

I was waiting until yesterday! My last offer just came in yesterday so I'm sure some people are still waiting!
