University Offers for 2022 Start

[Calmed]

I've heard universities are being more cautious this year, with some stating that they are not going to make most offers until the January deadline, when they can see a clearer picture - because of the over-subscription that happened for last year's students.

I thought it might be interesting to see which universities are making offers for which subjects.

We've only heard from York so far, for Computer Science. York University do seem to be making early offers.

Anyone else heard from any universities? Think it would be good to know what is happening out there :)

Lovely to see more offers coming in.

@Neurodiversitydoctor I think you are right DSs friends a few years ago who thought they’d aced the interview didn’t get offered where ones who had thought it ok some good some difficult questions got offered.

Anyone else been waiting a while? DD sent her application in 2 weeks ago and hasn't had anything back yet.

Applied for UCL, Imperial, Royal Holloway, Manchester and Keele (reserve) to do Geology.

DD has an offer from Sheffield Hallam (Biology) of 96 ucas pts (usual offer 112 pts) so will be a back up if she doesn't get any lower than expected offers from others. She is hoping for Nottingham, York, Loughborough & Sheffield but it's nice to have 1 in the bag.

@Fruitygal

That's good to know. He was unsure about going to the open day, but went and loved it - so welcoming!!

It's good that it's a fairly low offer too, as it could well be his second choice.

@Mankini when my DS applied for geology 6 years ago RH and keele came back in 3 weeks. Remember there were strikes for 3 days last week so there maybe delays in getting offers.

Got offer for Biology at Lincoln for BBB. Very happy DD!

@Mankini

Has your DS heard anything from RH? My son hasn't had a offer, but has been given access to an applicant's portal?

Not sure what that means?

We have Portsmouth , Kent and Bristol

@BlueMarigold - amazing news !!! Please congratulate your DD x

Thanks @Fruitygal!

Nottingham for Economics came in this evening, 1 week after submitting. DS is happy.

Still waiting on York now after an acknowledgment email last Tuesday evening.
Congrats to others with offers coming in too!

@Chewbecca congratulations for DS

We’ve heard from everywhere except Nottingham!

Applying for Psychology and typically, that’s the one she really wants!

@Howshouldibehave where else has she applied? Dd also applying for Psychology, she has offers from Manchester and Southampton, waiting on Bath, York and Nottingham.

May I ask if anyone has offers for Economics from Warwick or UCL? DS is very despondent after getting rejections from Cambridge and LSE. He has an offer from Notts but doesn't want it.

Not relevant to Economics but my son received an offer to study Politics at Warwick today. He only has Durham left so will have some more waiting to do, although it's also his first choice if he did receive an offer.

Yes I'm expecting a long wait for Durham!

Two more for my DS.

Sussex BBB if firm choice rather than ABB

BBC from Royal Holloway - reduced from ABB due to A in EPQ in year 12 and firm choice!

Amazing!

Finally had an offer through from York this afternoon so all five offers in and an offer holder day at Southampton booked for Feb.

A few questions for you lovely lot who most certainly are more clued up than me. DS has applied for a mix of film and liberal arts to Bristol, Exeter and UWE. Had offers for lib arts from Bristol and Exeter and film at UWE (his safety option). First university goer in the family and I wondered about offer holder days. Is this something that he will get informed about or is it something he needs to pursue?

And also, has anyone had offers from Bath for Psychology? One of his friends with fantastic predictions has had their application in since Oct and hasn't had anything from them.

Thank you.

bonnieliesovertheocean, great to hear of another DC applying for those subjects.
My DD has applied for English lit + film/ liberal arts at Birmingham, Southampton, Reading, RH and KCL.

@bonnieliesovertheocean If you are not doing it already get DC to forward emails from uni to you. Some unis will mention offer days in Initial email via a link. Others will expect student to set up a student user name and password for their uni portal and only then can you see the offer day info. Others like Exeter hasn’t published offer days yet. I hope this helps.

Thanks fruitygal - that does help hugely. He is a very independent yet very laid back fella and I don't want him to miss anything.
