2019 Doctorate Application Progress thread

[Glou0629]

They called me about 3:45pm today. Good luck in hearing - I hope it's good news for you.

Thanks Glou. Good luck with the course. I hope you enjoy whatever you have planned to celebrate!

Thank you!

I am please to share my update:

Bangor
Liverpool
Cov and Warwick
Exeter

Super happy about Exeter and accepted!

This means someone will be offered an interview at Liverpool and the reserve list for places at Cov Warwick will be moving. Good luck everyone...and be kind to yourself if you haven't been successful this year. It's all about learning and patience... (this is my 4th year as an AP).

So happy to find out that I got a place at Surrey! Have not decided yet whether to still go to the interview at UEL. Surrey is better location wise and I had such a positive experience on the interview day.

Congratulations to everyone who has a place and good luck for next year for those who haven't got a place this year.

Thank you

It's a really tough decision, particularly because Southampton and UEA appear to have similar values. UEA would be much better financially, because I could start living at home and would be able to save for a mortgage. It's also near my family and I love Norfolk. However, Southampton is much closer to my partner.

Still haven't decided I'm going to give myself a couple of weeks at most, and then take the plunge!
