Universities have until 13th May to make decisions.

As above - anytime between now and mid-May.
And when you get your offers means nothing significant, so don't worry, and stop checking your phone because you will drive yourself nuts.

haha thanks I am driving myself nuts, but I just got an offer from Warwick today!
Hi there,

As above and above - you have applied to five very strong and competitive universities, and for these kind of institutions it is very normal for them to wait until past the January 14th application deadline to give out decisions, especially for their more popular courses.

As the others have said, how long you wait for offers has no bearing on how strong your application is, and the best thing you can do is to sit tight, focus on your A-levels and just wait to hear what they say.

Hoping this helps and best of luck with your choices!

Hi @luludavies

Those are some excellent choices! As said already, there is no way to know when you will receive a response. I just wanted to also add in that if someone else gets a response much earlier than yourself, it does not impact your ability to get in. Everyone who applies before the deadline is given equal consideration.

Personally, I received my first offer around November, and my final offer in May. So try and focus on your exams and getting the best grades possible, rather than on offers.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask me any questions,
