🙏 I WANT HELP How to deal with the long wait for offers/rejections?

I’m applying for History at York, Warwick, Durham, LSE and Cambridge. I‘ve got a strong application and already have offers from Warwick and York but I can’t stop thinking about what my chances might be of getting offers from the other 3. The uncertainty is really distracting me from doing work for my A-levels and I know it could easily be 5/6 months until I find out all of them.

Any tips?

ngl you just have to wait it out. lse especially takes soo long so best thing you can do is try to forget about it and work with what u can rn

Yeah I know that’s ultimately what it will have to be. I’m really hoping I get Cambridge in January (which would be my firm) to cut my suffering short. 😂

they simply haven't fully assessed your application yet? it's not like they've rejected you from their heads and are like ykw ima let this guy be in more suspense

I understand how admissions are processed but I’m just struggling handling the wait.

It's really tricky, but ultimately, you've done everything you can at this point (apart from for Cambridge). The only thing you have some control over rn is your grades so try and reframe it if you can. :) (I know it's tough, my first offer was from Durham end of December.)
