I realise that some people on this forum (including myself) are planning to go to university next year, and I figured it'd be nice to see who was going and how far they have got with their UCAS application.
I received my confirmation letter from UCAS the other day to say they have received my application, all I can do now is wait..
The university's/courses I have applied for are
University of Lincoln: Games Computing
University of Lincoln: Computing
Sheffield Hallam: Software Development (Games) - Offer - not for this course, however
Northumbira University: Computer Games Software Engineering - Offer
Nottingham Trent University: Computer Science (Games Technology) - Offer
I have received 3 offers so far.
What universitys have you applied for? Had any offers/Rejections yet?

It's a bit of an annoyance that Lincoln still haven't replied yet, but meh, a few offers in the bag ain't half bad!

Heh, I didn't use the online thing, just waited for the things to come through my door. One of my choices didn't respond until Feb/March time, and I still got an offer, so don't worry about not hearing from them.
