DS heard from Edinburgh yesterday for Economics and Politics. Just waiting on Durham now.

ThorThursday · 24/03/2023 11:30

Cambridge (Foundation Year). Interviews are next week but then we know we're not going to hear until May.

JamJarJane · 24/03/2023 11:31

Leeds and Brighton.

bguthb90 · 24/03/2023 11:56

Edinburgh (Radio Silence since application acknowledgement)

Durham (mid Feb email saying hoping to respond by April 21)

Exeter ('we're sorry we haven't made a decision yet' email last week)

Durham is the one DS really wants

Tree543 · 24/03/2023 13:42

Bath for Computer science

EmmaStone · 24/03/2023 13:53

Durham and Edinburgh (DD's number 1 and 2 choices if she gets offers) for History related degree.

FriendlyLaundryMonster · 24/03/2023 14:14

Edinburgh and St. Andrews.

ACJane · 24/03/2023 14:19

Dc has been lucky with a couple of the places mentioned here to have had early offers. I have no idea why as they are UK, non-contextual...maybe because it's for a less popular course. Maybe truly just random.

Just curious OP are you in the US given you say waiting "on" not waiting "for" (huge assumption - apologies if wrong) - I thought international students usually got decisions earlier but maybe that's not always the case then.

ACJane · 24/03/2023 14:20

Just to add, Student Room seems to be showing a few more Edinburgh offers now but still not many.

starrynight19 · 24/03/2023 14:24

Leeds and Keele

Lipa for Acting BA. Ds had an audition at the beginning of February and waiting to hear if he has a call back or has been unsuccessful.

Rideawildswan · 24/03/2023 15:14

Edinburgh and St Andrews - just got Durham last week…

mizu · 24/03/2023 15:25

DD just got her last offer - from Edinburgh- this week, to do Arabic and Politics.

user18 · 24/03/2023 15:26

St andrews

NCTDN · 24/03/2023 17:16

Sorry but dd had to wait until the final week last year before hearing from Durham.

EmmaStone · 24/03/2023 18:17

NCTDN · 24/03/2023 17:16

Sorry but dd had to wait until the final week last year before hearing from Durham.

What was the final week @NCTDN?

TBH it's the not knowing if the longer you wait the lesser your chances, or if there's still as good a chance. So hard to get a sense of perspective (and it's not even me awaiting a place 😂. Thankfully DD doesn't seem too worried).

BeanzToastie · 24/03/2023 18:27

Just got an offer from Edinburgh this week (last one of the five, applied November).

NCTDN · 24/03/2023 18:51

@EmmaStone middle of may I think.

NCTDN · 24/03/2023 18:52

And she applied in October.

Rideawildswan · 24/03/2023 19:43

Correction Edinburgh offer came today (History A*AA) - now just waiting for St Andrews.

Revengeofthepangolins · 24/03/2023 19:47

Not int he game this year, but had to pop in to say "hoping to respond by April 21". I mean, really. What on Earth are Durham and E and St A and UCL etc doing with these applications? Using them to prop up wobbly desks?

PettsWoodParadise · 24/03/2023 19:50

Durham and UCL.

Offer in from top choice but DD annoyingly unable to confirm until hears from all potential insurance offers. If she hears from Durham she is likely to withdraw from UCL as not so bothered about them and we live within commuting distance, she has some nice insurance offers in the bag but it is always the case of ‘what if’ they offer me the right grade to make it a viable insurance, Durham likely to offer same as top choice but I am told ‘you never know’.

FriendlyLaundryMonster · 24/03/2023 20:58

Edinburgh offer in today. So high though, compsci, three A stars.

redrobin75 · 24/03/2023 21:06

Bath for Psychology Placement, hoping to hear soon but getting ready for a rejection. On the TSR s/s they are offering to her predicted grades but with an epq that she hasn't done.

vdbfamily · 24/03/2023 22:00

Still awaiting Edinburgh for Computer Studies, have had offers from Glasgow, Strathclyde and Birmingham.
