What Happens Next?

After your interview you will get a decision by post either in late December or early in January.

This will either be:

Offer

Conditional/unconditional offer, depending on whether you have or haven't yet got the grades in the appropriate subjects. The offer letter will also have instructions about how to confirm your place through UCAS.

No Offer

Sorry, the university was unable to offer you a place.

Pool

If you apply to a College and they were impressed with your application but couldn't offer you a place, you may be placed in the pool. You will either be offered a place at another College without a second interview or may be interviewed again in January. After your second interview, you will either have an offer confirmed or be told the second College was unable to offer you a place.

Whatever the outcome of your application you should look at it as a good experience. The rest of your life doesn't depend on getting an offer. You can have a brilliant few years at university no matter where you end up going.
