offers can take literally months to come in, might as well stop being excited :joker:
Jords

Nah loads of people have had at least 1 who have already sent off :)
Still exciting anyway :amazed:

Yeah, but that'll be a minority, depending on what uni's you apply too, you might not hear back until march/april :tongue:

:suspect:
Id say 70% of those who have applied have 1 offer. I know a girl who got an offer from Manchester 2 days after :laugh:

the offers they'll have got are probably unconditional ones - the ones where you need a point tariff you'll probably have to wait a few months for :(
Jords

Yeah possibly, our sixth form makes us apply quite early tbf

Im pretty sure they are conditional but idk :joker:
Getting an offer back depends how your predicted grades match up to the Unis average grades. If you're applying for a crap uni like Man Met where you only need like 3 C's to get the right amount of points and you're predicted 3 A's then you'll get an offer straight away because that means they can bump their stats up. But if you're applying for Manchester where you need B's and A's and you're predicted C's and B's, it'll take a while longer until they see the standard of other applicants
Its all relative to you, doesn't matter how fast/long it takes other people to get a response
Will probably be easier to get a place this year though with all the fees going up, its gonna put a lot of people off
I think it varies really and can be a bit random, my friend was predicted A*A*A*A and he got his first offer relatively quickly but all the rest he was waiting ages for, but then someone else I know had all their offers already by December

Congratulations and a massive well done to you all. I really hope you get what you want and wish you lots of success. And don't forget to go to a few lectures and other things that'll mean leaving the Students' Union bar!

What is your tuition fee this year Jords?
Jords
03-12-2011, 05:47 PM
£9,000
£8,500 x 3
£8,000
what my choices are.

how do student finance cover that? Because that's a heck of a lot to pay back :/
Jords
03-12-2011, 05:54 PM
I dont fully understand everything but we dont start repaying until we earn a salary of £21,000 and we get grants/bursaries depending on home income and course undertaken.
My friend is planning to do midwifery and the NHS will cover it all for her :bored:

Offers from a simple application? Do they not do interviews anymore?
Jords
03-12-2011, 05:58 PM
Yepp some do, also depends on how good your application is, I could have got 1 for UEA but they gave me a straight offer :D

I actually prefer the new tuition fees. Not having to pay it back until you're earning £21k is a lot better, especially for what I'm doing (music production).
