It's great to hear of all the good offers coming in!

DS finally hit the button on Thursday night - not sure how long college will need before they finally send it through, but I don't think it's very long, so I'm expecting him to get his welcome letter for Track some time this week.

I think his mocks are before Christmas - so any time now. At least it gets them out of the way.

I'm glad we're in Wales from a funding point of view - the WA loan system is much more generous than the English one! Basically, there's no parental contribution expected at all - they ask for income details to decide how much is grant and how much is loan, but if DC decides to take the full loan, it's set at minimum wage level. DD gets a little over £9k this year.

I keep getting ‘end of an era’ feelings - last ever school rugby match yesterday, last ever Christmas jazz concert today... SNAP OUT OF IT, WOMAN!

Same here. I had my last parent teacher conferences last week. That was both happy and sad.

Sorry, meant to say it was my last meet the teachers night. We'll have conferences again in the spring.

@KingscoteStaff - This year does seem to be flying by...I still can't handle not having to get up in the morning to take DD to school (we live in a village so I have been doing the school run since she was at pre-school)...It's nice to have a lie-in but has the weather gets colder and icy in the morning my stress levels go through the roof...

Oneteen congrats to your DD on her offer. My DD is doing a postal vote as she is at the Oxford interview when the election is on.

That was quick, oneteen! And shes’s off...

DD first mock sociology was 2 days ago.
Others ones are a week before Xmas.

DD's mocks are the end of January apparently.
She is delighted to be able to vote for the first time on Dec 12th.

DS got an offer through for Nottingham today, on a Sunday AAB.
It's taken them 3 weeks to reply.
By far the slowest.
All 5 in now. Exciting.

Well done to your DS Serin...DD's offer came through today too ...she didn't expect an offer on a Sunday!

Yay!! Congratulations to her Oneteen. Birmingham is on DS's list as well.

Ds just put his application in, really wants History at York, anybody know what sort of offers they are making ?

My daughter has a BBB offer for History at York.

That’s a lot lower than their standard offer, aibu!

Yes. She is very fortunate to have BBB from York & Exeter and unconditional from QMUL (reduced after interview).

I am wrong. It is ABB from York.

She must have impressed them!

Dd has ABB offer today from UEA which will probably be her insurance..

Oneteen, thrilled for your dd

Great news Oneteen

Thank you... It would nice to get a Warwick offer this week too and then DD has one unfilled option which she can be experimental with...

I was waiting to hear about Edinburgh's policy on contextual offers on R4 Today this morning, but the interview got drowned out with hecklers. I assume that nobody has had anything from Edinburgh yet. It's great to see do many achievable offers coming through for everyone.

Dd had to complete a fees status questionnaire and send copies of our passports to Edinburgh, but no further response yet. Offer from UCL in meantime, do they do applicant days?

DD has heard absolutely nothing from them. I think the likelihood of her going to the opposite end of the country for a 4 year degree though is minimal.
