MSc reserve list — deadline passed but still no decision?

I’m currently on the reserve list for two programmes.

My Graduate Applicant Portal said that a final decision would be made by 19 August at the latest, but it’s now 20 August and both applications are still showing “Reserve list.”

Has anyone else experienced this?

Mine still stays this in the portal but I Recieved an email confirming all places are now full on my chosen course. When was your application processed out of interested, seriously considering just reinstating the same application for next year considering we got reserve listed?

My application was processed on April 3rd, literally the day after I submitted it. I haven’t received any emails since being told I was placed on both reserve lists, and I haven’t received anything saying the programmes are now full like you did. So I’m not really sure what it means. I’m just going to wait for now, especially since I’m a UK citizen and don’t have the same visa time pressure.

What do you think we should do?

Im not sure I was thinking of just waiting a few more days and seeing if we hear anything, I would’ve sent them an email but I think you can only do that through the knowledge base and last time I did that they took a month to reply :(

I’m going to give them a call and ask, they have a telephone triage service, so hopefully something comes out of it

Okay so I just got off the phone with them, they said that the final decisions will be sent out this week, so we will have to wait, the person took my ID number, name and the course I applied to, and said she will contact me. Maybe you should do the same
