Anyone's DC not heard from all their choices? Is this normal?

DS applied in November. Got 4x offers v quickly but still waiting for offer/rejection from his no.1 choice. They emailed him in November asking him about his choice of subjects which he replied to. Then they emailed again asking if he was a "private" student (standard email to everyone apparently). Again he replied. I know they have until May to send out offers but seems a long time especially when it is holding up his firm/insurance choices.

Just wondered if this is the case for others?

Thanks all. Just waiting on Cardiff now. He has an offer from Swansea too but the grades offered were higher than expected. Everything came back as ABB or AAB plus Welsh Bacc. Was hoping for a lower one as reserve. Fingerscrossed but not hopeful.

Ds was offered the alternative course by Bristol today - philosophy instead of philosophy and politics- standard offer of AAA.

So he has 4 offers (had applied for 2 courses at Bristol) - Liverpool, Manchester, QMUL and Bristol so has to do some deciding! At the moment it’s probably not Liverpool (although he really likes the look of it) but no idea between the other 3.

Good luck to those still waiting to hear back from Uni’s - ds applied mid November so it’s been a long old slog!

Still waiting on Bristol! Commiserations @wantmorenow ... I did advise DS to chase them up, but who knows if he has!

Oh no @kitnkaboodle that’s a long wait - hopefully it’ll be through soon - fingers crossed for you!
