Hi everyone, here's the new thread!

Great news @inae , such a weight off your shoulders I’m sure.

And big congrats to you too @bluefineliner!

GrinsteadGrinch · 05/03/2026 00:27

@wooly1962 Sorry to hear, hope you have good news soon.

@inae Pleased that your wait is over.

DD also has an offer from Sheffield now, so has 4/4 offers and a difficult choice. Will decide soon and release places, so hopefully someone who is patiently waiting will also have something to celebrate.

Sending good wishes to all those still waiting. This part journey has not been easy. I feel as though I’ve aged 10 yrs in the past 10 months, from UCAT, to personal statement, interviews, then the agonising wait.

Now for the big push to get the grades and this is only the beginning of the path to becoming a doctor.

I'm sorry @wooly1962 - it's so hard and the waiting for that first offer is tortuous. I have everything crossed for Liverpool.

Yes @inae - I've been waiting for this one!!

MyGreyBiscuit · 05/03/2026 08:24

Congrats @GrinsteadGrinch on 4/4! Would you remind us where again? The waiting is agonising...and I hope everyone still waiting will hear soon.

Offers from UCL, Birmingham, SGUL & finally Sheffield. The wait for UCL & SGUL offers felt painfully long (mid and late Feb) both interviews were in Dec. Birmingham offered the next day. Sheffield was the final interview, offer was 4 weeks post interview.

I understand how you feel, waiting is torturous. As @mumsneedwine says, that first offer makes a huge difference.

March seems to be a busy month, hopefully those still waiting will receive eagerly anticipated offers very soon.

Thefatbutteredpig · 05/03/2026 11:15

Sorry to hear your news @wooly1962. Hoping Liverpool comes good for you.

Congrats to all with offers this week. Delighted to hear your news @inae

HelenofSparta · 05/03/2026 12:32

So pleased to hear your DD’s news @inae - told my DD I was that excited!!
@wooly1962 keeping everything crossed for you still.
We are now in the post mocks/offers lull before it all ramps up again soon.
Sending everyone best wishes xxx

Imperial offer today which is the one my son really wants (I'm quite worried about the cost of living in London) but he's very happy. Just Southampton to wait for now. So happy to see all the Sheffield offers in and really hoping everyone gets the Liverpool places they are waiting for

inae · 05/03/2026 15:46

Thank you, kind people! Rooting for more Sheffield offers for those who applied! 🤞

Congrats @everydirection and @GrinsteadGrinch great set of offers!

@MyGreyBiscuit last year they sent offers from about 5th to 18th of March. TSR is very good for this kind of info. And Southampton 31st. Hang in there! Sheffield offer holder days are 28th of March and 18th of April this year.

Tsuipen · 06/03/2026 18:43

Still waiting to hear one way or another from Sheffield here. Reddit seems to suggest no offers yesterday or today.

Thanks @inae for sharing the intel! And thanks @Tsuipen for confirming not a lot happening last couple of days. Waiting is stressful. 😥

Congratulations @Curlyshabtree to your DD, Newcastle seems to be my DDs favourite atm too! Is your DD going to the 14 March OHD too?

@GrinsteadGrinch 4/4 offers is fab, well done, what do you think your YP will choose?

@everydirection congratulations on Imperial offer!

@everydirection congratulations on Imperial offer!

She tried to book on but it said it was full. I think she’s gonna email them. Plus DS has his OHD in Nottingham that day (law).

Keep checking to see if that offer has come in. I am so hoping that Sheffield is a yes for you,

Curlyshabtree · 10/03/2026 21:01

DD is mightily surprised that she got an offer from Nottingham today! She thought the online interview went terribly and didn’t think she stood a chance. So all offers are in, 3/4 she’s done so well.
We’re actually off to Nottingham this Saturday for DS’ OHD (he’s applied to Law) so DD might have a poke about too.
Keep on hanging in there everyone!
@Thefatbutteredpig congratulations!!

inae · 10/03/2026 21:33

Congrats to your YPs for the Notts offers @Thefatbutteredpig and @Curlyshabtree. Great to see the offers coming in!
