Bristol application on put on hold?

Without these hold messages you would be surprised the amount of applicants that contact unis to make sure their application has been received and to ask for an approximate decision timescale. The notification is to preempt as many of those enquiries as possible.
It doesn’t mean anything one way or another with regards to the outcome.

I got accepted after being put on hold for a few months. Equally it can go the other way but ultimately nothing to worry about.

As above - really, don't worry.
Have you taken LNAT yet?

I’ve just received an email saying my application to do law at Bristol has been put on hold because they are unable to make their decisions immediately. What is even the point of this? Is it a bad thing and indicates I probably won’t get in? Bristol takes the LNAT so I didn’t even think I’d be getting any reply any time soon as I was told it takes till February for them to get them.

Once your application is On Hold, do Bristol wait until May before making an offer or is there a chance that a decision would be made before the Jan deadline for making Uni choices?

My son would really like to know if he gets an unconditional offer (he already has his grades AAA) before applying to other choices where he may need to retake.

i got put on hold toooo

Normal.
Stop worrying.

Is it a bad sign that I have not been put on hold yet? - I applied on the 15th of October

It just means that they have not read your application yet.
Which subject have you applied for?

I applied for law

Have you taken LNAT?

Yeah I took it on the 15th of October

Then there is nothing to worry about - most offers will be made in the New Year.

It’s just more the fact that I haven’t been put on hold like many who applied around the same time
