The "I've been pooled" thread

Scroll to see replies

You want to wait a lot more than a week to think about such a decision, especially when it involves givingup other offers you may not get again.

I'd also disagree about you being able to reuse your personal statement, you'd be missing out on talking about so much that you'd have learned since the previous year.

Nina, I did not mean use the entire PS already used, merely use bits e.g. sections that really stood out and looked great last time (if they are still revelent, of course). They can, of course wait longer than a week, they can wait until May if they really want to, but I was trying to get her to slow down a little, rather than rush into anything.

I've applied to Castle!

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's worth it either... all the stress that this process causes isn't too much fun. I suppose that that's the main thing putting me off reapplying too!

What was your original college?


I have a applied for Castle as well :smile:

March, 'cause that is when you pick your firm and insurance.

August technically because if you pull out of UCAS you can then reapply the next year.

I thought you can accept a firm and insurance offer but can still pull out of UCAS up until you accept your actual offer to go there after results day?
See I thought the deadline was the end of March (they could well have brought it forward since then, I'm not up to date on UCAS practices) and then I had to reply to my offers. That time came and went and I didnt get my final offer until May.
You are correct Mithra

Nina, how old were you when you started your Undergrad out of interest? As I know you were ill for a year (a bit like me really).
Nina is correct --> 31 March 2009
Universities and colleges should aim to have sent decisions on all applications received by 15 January

Also, the earliest reply date is May not March --> http://www.ucas.com/students/afteryouapply/replyingtoyouroffers
bibliotheque, can you log into your saq?
I was 19 and turned 20 in the Xmas holidays.
SO potentialy we have to wait until the end of March (and in some cases ever longer) until we find out from all our Uni's...shocker!

No... it says that there's a system error. It's been saying this sort of thing since the beginning of Jan. I could briefly log in yesterday but then locked out again until this morning:

I could earlier and it put my college as the undergraduate pool.

Hm. If anyone knows what any of this means please enlighten me!
