My daughter's friends have started getting offers. When is she going to hear something?
Universities and colleges are asked to make decisions at different times of the year, depending upon when your daughter's application was sent to us. Courses requiring interviews, and those that attract lots of applicants, tend to be slower in responding.
Each institution has their own criteria and their own ways of working, so your daughter can expect to hear from them at different times: she may be contacted within a very short period of time or it may be some months before she hears anything.
Applying
- Our son wants to apply to university but we are concerned about the finances. What advice can you offer?
- Our son left school last year to work. Now he wants to go to university. How does he apply?
- Our daughter wants to study design. Foundation courses have been mentioned. Can you explain what they are?
- My daughter's friends have started getting offers. When is she going to hear something?
- I'm not listed as a proxy, but can I check the progress of my son's application?
- Our daughter was ill during her AS year, so we're worried neither her predictions nor results will get her the offers she really deserves. Can we do anything?
- My daughter is thinking about applying to university but I'm not sure how much debt she is likely to get into?
