It looks as though the big move of PAOs is happening now, a lot of people seem to have moved in the last few days but that’s not to say that everyone will have moved by tomorrow…they could still stay moving people to PAO after tomorrow going by other years.

Does anyone recount this year's PAO? Does it seem that so far, there may have been over 20? For those like me who have still been waiting, we may still have the chance...

 

Using this I went through this thread and tried to make a similar stats list, it was very much made in haste so if I haven't accounted for it all feel free to add! 


So far this is what it is looking like in comparison from 2020/2021

Feb 14: 1 PAO 
Feb 15: 3 PAO
Feb 16: 3 PAO
Feb 17: 2 PAO
Feb 20: 1 PAO
Feb 21: 1 PAO
Feb 22: 2 PAO

Didn't count today's and also for context I counted a PAO on the day it was put into the thread, unless there was a date attached to it as I know a couple of people said they didn't know when they changed to PAO just that they did :) 

Good morning under review gang. Another day of waiting game.

This year's trope is almost similar to 2021-2022 thread. I think there will be some movements today. I don't want to stress anyone out, so spoiler alert! -- they started sending out rejections on 23th Feb whilst the year 2020-2021, they started sending out rejections on 24th Feb.

And a lot of thanks to @EloiseH on 2021-2022 thread for collecting this data from 2020-2021 thread:

Mon 24 Feb- 5 unsuccessful


Tues 25 Feb- 8 unsuccessful


Weds 26 Feb- 2 unsuccessful, 3 GAO (all evening)


Fri 28 Feb- 1 unsuccessful, 8 GAO (all evening)


Sun 1 Mar- 1 unsuccessful, 9 GAO (all day)


Mon 2 Mar- 4 GAO


Weds 4 Mar- 15 GAO


Thurs 5 Mar- 1 GAO


Fri 6 Mar- 2 GAO

I don't want to talk about year 2022-2023 because there was an unusual delay of processes.

Finger crossed!

So the current PAO data in this forum of this year compared to that of 2020-2021 is 26 vs. 43. We still have the chance, although the seats seem to get smaller and smaller...

It’s quite strange that there are no reports of rejections. That coupled with a significantly shorter amount of recorded PAO probably just means not enough people are engaged this year to this thread compared to the other years. So we might still very well be out of luck.


but on the other hand, apparently there are 190 seats available this year, so there’s still spots to fight for

I know a few people from my uni who applied as well and none are aware of this forum or the PAO system but as far as I know none of them have been rejected either. Someone told me that they usually send all rejections around the same time and then after that most official offers by e-mail.

In other words, bad news for us still refreshing the portal on an unhealthy basis

Just moved to PAO! While I am not celebrating until I get the offer, I want to let those still waiting that I was fully convinced I was going to be flat-out rejected. Have faith in the process. Not long left to wait and I really hope everyone is doing alright.

Congrats!!! I’m still in the “I’ll probably know tomorrow 5:30” camp

just moved to PAO! does this mean definite offer? dont want to celebrate too soon

Congrats to everyone who moved to PAO today! Still under review.

So far, 28 PAO in this thread, Congratulations to them, and I'm also still waiting for the final decision...

Longtime lurker here, just moved to the PAO stage (within the last twenty minutes, been refreshing repeatedly). Good luck, everyone!

Would it be a bit premature to set up a POA Whatsapp group?

How I understand it is that basically it means an offer as PAO seems a formality but keep in mind it is maybe 98% but not 100%

Still under review here - well done to everyone moved to PAO and solidarity to all of us still waiting to hear, looks like it might be another day at this point...
