Two acknowledgements Bath Spa and Cardiff, two more on the list Liverpool and Brighton, maybe we'll get b4 weekend.
Exciting!

tudorbuff · 28/11/2019 08:31

My son has now received all his offers, 3 in the last 3 days. Only put in his form last Monday! He didn't an acknowledgement from one of them, they just sent an offer.

thesunwillout · 28/11/2019 08:44

tudorbuff, you mean Monday last week.
That's very quick. Interesting that an offer but no actual acknowledgement from one. Which was that?
Liverpool have just acknowledged.

MillicentMartha · 28/11/2019 09:14

Make sure they aren't just relying on getting an email. DS was invited to interview by Manchester through Track with no separate email from them and no email from UCAS saying Track had updated. Luckily he checked it in time to accept the interview invitation.

DD's acknowledgements were very quick (4 Uni's she has left one spot open). Hoping an offer may come through early from UEA which will probably be her insurance. I did joke about on the day her application was sent sending her 5 Whatsapp messages - Have you had any offers yet .... she seems pretty laid back as usual.

I tried to look up courses that were on previously on the UC list for Bham but all references seem to have been deleted but there was a post about Computer Science not being on the UC list so assume its not on the attainment offer list.

Working at home today :-) and dog sitting too!

tudorbuff · 28/11/2019 09:33

Thesunwillout yes, all offers in 8 working days (One came in late on Friday evening too). Southampton did not acknowledge. No email alerts from Track, you need to keep logging in. Feel sorry for all those that have a long wait for replies.

LIZS · 28/11/2019 09:37

@Ironoaks dd says she did not get that option do the departments may vary. Southampton acknowledgement came by post plus an email which went onto spam.

HuaShan · 28/11/2019 09:58

DS had an email from Imperial inviting him to an applicant day. It explicitly said that attending was in no way linked to any offer than might/might not be made. Its a bit of a shame that dc are getting these ambiguous and misleading emails

KingscoteStaff · 28/11/2019 12:18

DS has heard from all except Durham - and that’s the one that’s probably the best fit for him.

Dates for Bristol offer holder days are out - still nothing from Newcastle.

thesunwillout · 28/11/2019 18:08

Holy cow, DD has offers
Liverpool
Bath Spa

UCAS application went in Monday pm.

oneteen · 28/11/2019 18:42

@thesunwillout - Well done to your DD!

MillicentMartha · 28/11/2019 18:43

Good news, thesun. That was very quick!

Thankyou ladies.
Looking up thread her application went Tues pm.
So 48 hrs.
Bath Spa CCC, but that's their normal offer.
Not sure what to make of that really.
Liverpool ABB, they offer AAB-ABB,
so she's got the slightly reduced one.

The Epq got dropped, think she's happy not to have to worry about it now.
Took her sociology mock today, first time she's been in for two weeks!
Super pleased for her, she's been v unwell.

Snozzlemaid · 28/11/2019 18:58

Excellent news thesunwillout.
Dd got an offer today from Southampton of ABB.

thesunwillout · 28/11/2019 19:06

Hi Snozzlemaid well done to your DD on the offer.
Thankyou

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 28/11/2019 19:13

Hi there, lurker here. DD only hit the button Friday afternoon and she’s already got 4 out of 5 offers back. All AAB or ABB! Thinks she’s banking on clearing for a back up plan. Going to have to look at one of them on offer day as we couldn’t get there before.

Serin · 28/11/2019 19:22

TheSun
Thrilled for your DD.
Hopefully she will do well in the mocks and can relax a little now the EPQ is out of the way.

thesunwillout · 28/11/2019 20:17

@Serin
Many thanks for your post x

Hi all. My DD has an interview yesterday at Queen Mary University London yesterday and her BBB offer has now become an unconditional offer.

She also has an interview for Oxford.

DS1 has had an offer from Durham this evening. A star A A for Chemistry. Very pleased as he can really see himself there.

But it is a really long way from a London Confused

MillicentMartha · 28/11/2019 21:11

Fab offers and interviews coming through. Star

Durham is a great uni and gorgeous town. What’s the nearest airport?

OP posts:
sandybayley · 28/11/2019 21:27

Maybe Newcastle? As I went to Edinburgh I shouldn't grumble about distance. DS1 is very happy so I'm happy.

aibutohavethisusername · 28/11/2019 21:58

Hugo I think Exeter and York are higher on her list as there is no Ancient History at QMUL.

thesunwillout · 28/11/2019 22:08

@aibutohavethisusername
That's some achievement for your DD, great news!
