Timing of UCL decisions
For general info, I received a letter in the post today indicating that my UCL application had been forwarded to the selectors and that I should receive a response by 11 December (offer, invitation to interview, request for further info, follow up response or rejection). My application completed following receipt of the second online reference on 27 October.Wed Nov 04, 2009 05:50 PM Obviously I'd be interested in how others' applications are progressing. |

If it makes any difference, my letter was dated 30 October so was delivered quite quickly (I'm in London). There hasn't been any change to the online status.

I have a problem with the online reference at UCL. At the time I submitted my app it was necessary to choose the option"email". However, one of my referee is an old guy a Superior Court Judge. Therefore, I believe he will not be able to enter on line. What should I do?

I think you'll need to ring admissionsFri Nov 06, 2009 02:22 PM Tel: +44 (0)20 7679 7742. If you're living somewhere obscure / out of time zone let me know and I can give them a call and ask, but it may be easier for you to call so that they can deal with your specific record. I note the website says to contact them if you haven't heard anything within 2 weeks after your application has completed. |

UCL received my complete application on 26 oct but I have not received any reply so far... Should I get worried? Maybe the reply mail takes long to arrive since I am not an UK resident.

fausto - I wouldn't worry yet - the letter I received was sent second class, so I was just lucky that it was delivered quite quickly. We've had quite a lot of industrial action / strikes by Royal Mail recently, these may have slowed down mail sorting etc.

Any news from UCL?Tue Nov 17, 2009 10:51 AM I applied via mail and so far I've not heard anything from them. I sent an e-mail asking for confirmation at least of safe receipt of my application... no reply. Getting more and more nervous I must admit... Is there anyone in the same situation? Keep in touch! |

I received an e-mail from UCL confirming that they got my application and that it has been sent to the selectors.Wed Nov 18, 2009 04:42 PM They also sent me an acknowledgment letter but I've not received it yet... Jude Law, I think you should write to UCL asking upon your application. |

graduate admissions operate a drop in service at the laws building on mondays-fridays from - if my memory serves me correctly - ten till one, and two till four thiry. Wed Nov 18, 2009 06:40 PM i haven't heard anything from ucl whatsoever, and my patience is wearing thin! i've tried calling them, but without success; and the only reason that i know this little snippet of information about their graduate admissions office is because i went to see them in person out of frustration last week. unfortunately i got there at thirty-one minutes past four :P i am now in the middle east, where i will be for the next couple of months and am have thus resigned myself to not hearing anything from ucl anytime this century! keep up the info posts y'all! |

Hey, I am in Hong Kong and I have received the acknolwedgement letter as the letter informing me that my applciation was forwarding to the selectors on 18th November notwithstanding tha tthe date of the letter was 5th November. It said that I would get further notification by 19th December. I believe that due to the Christmas and New Year's Eve, probably, I have to wait till the early 2010! Thu Nov 19, 2009 01:54 AM |

Timing of UCL decisions
guys one piece of adviseThu Nov 19, 2009 05:11 AM stop emailing or calling them...they wont answer any of your questions so far,,its too soon,,have patience! when i applied last year (around October 24) i only heard from them around January, i mean the final decision. So believe me there is still some time left, be patient. right now they must be handling with a lot of applications,,,they have lotssssssssssssssss every year and they also have to handle with their current students etc. its a great university,,i really love it and im very very happy i chose this uni. The staff its extremely helpfull, the teaching quality is 5 stars and even when i had some visa problems the university helped and supported me so dont worry about them taking some extra weeks to get back to yu,,,they are quite busy but they will reply soon. Only call or email them if more than 2 months and a half have passed since you applied. --- |

It said that I would get further notification by 19th December. I believe that due to the Christmas and New Year's Eve, probably, I have to wait till the early 2010! I got a letter from UCL a couple of days ago, as well, stating that a decision (at least a preliminary one) should be made by December 9th, 2009. Though it seems it does take long for mail to reach countries other than UK, as it took nearly 3 weeks to get here. So all of you who haven't gotten a response yet, I bet it was already sent but it just hasn't arrived yet. [Edited by Ryker on 19 Nov 2009] |

Hi guys, brief update.Thu Nov 19, 2009 01:38 PM UCL wrote me again saying that my acknowledgement letter was sent on 30 Oct and I should receive a decision mid Dec. Unfortunately, I have not received the acknowledgement letter and therefore I do not know if and when I will receive the decision! Legalalien, our decision should be taken in the same period. Let me know we you get it as you are in London and it seems that your letters are delivered pretty earlier than mine. :( |

Timing of UCL decisions
Yesterday, 06:39 PM I sent an email to the faculty of law on Wednesday and asked a friend who is based in London to ring them. They told my friend that they sent my a confirming letter on 28 th October and decisions are usually sent out in the beginning of dec. However this morning I got an email reply from the faculty of law. The woman said that my application was processed, a decision has been made and the admissions office will send me a letter shortly. It really scared me, I am wondering if a earlier decision is a bad sign... Last week I got an offer from Nottingham but I didnt expect UCL would made decisions before December... So I am thinking about talking to the admissions office and see if they can tell me the decision by email or send the letter by DHL, since I not even got the confirming letter. Do you guys think it ll be possible? |

fausto - will certainly post if and when I get a decision! Really hope that it's soon - my inability to even get my LSE application to the under consideration phase is driving me mental, so I need cheering up (or not, as the case may be - at least something concrete).Yesterday, 07:01 PM judylaw - I assume that they can't tell you over the phone? presumably they'll update the online status once they post the letter out, even if they don't alert you to the fact it has been updated? |
