Did anyone who sat the Trent test by any chance ask when we'll hear back? I didn't t think to ask, but realised they're doing the rearranged tests on 17th, which is after the deadline, so not sure whether they'll make us wait a while to hear back then?

Hey guys, my drop down box for Manchester has disappeared too. Advice from last year was not to read too much into it either way; I think it just shows that they're preparing to release their responses soon.

My progress so far:

2017
Liverpool > Liverpool
Teeside > Teeside > Teeside
Leeds
UEA

2018
Liverpool
Leeds
Manchester
Teeside

Good luck all!

I've applied to the same unis! Good luck!! This year is my 3rd year of applying. I've not applied to these unis before, apart from Leeds last year (where I was unsuccessful at getting an interview).

2018
Liverpool
Leeds
Teeside

Hello everyone,

First time applicant here.

UCL --> 1st on reserve list
Royal Holloway
IoPPN
Leeds

Do previous applicants have any idea of how much the reserve list usually moves? I'm very eager to find out a bit more info from people more experienced than myself, so any responses will be truly appreciated.

Best of luck to everyone

Well done on your reserve place! I think I read its moved 4 places before, but think that was 2016 potentially, not sure how helpful that is sorry. Can i just ask whether you got informed via letter or email please?

Thank you very much for the reply - that's good memory right there. I got informed via letter dated 1st March.

No matter the outcome I'm still happy I wasn't flat out rejected!
