UCAS form sent ... bored of waiting

I know I haven't passed (Section III was a killer for me) but I have still kept enough optimism to apply for Nottingham. Does anyone else feel like they are waiting to get on with the rest of their life? How can it take so long to mark a bunch of essays...!!!?

I know exactly what you mean.... I'm almost sure I failed section II, since I'm a horrible essay writer, but still applying... Just to be sure. Would be awful if you didn't apply, you get your grade back, and you could have gotten an interview!
But yes... waiting... Although I didn't send my ucas form yet. Am waiting for my reference letter... should get it by Friday though.
AHHHH I indeed just want to get ON with my life!

I've managed to mostly put it to the back of my mind until now. I've started to notice how anxious and uptight I've been these past few days. I really don't think I'm going to be able to take it easy until I get the result I need.

From the GAMSAT website: "Results for the 2008 GAMSAT UK will be released early November."

But how early is early?

Early means before mid-November, which coincides exactly with what they told us right at the beginning concerning the 6-8 week wait. This Friday (31st) it'll be 0 - 2 weeks till results. My guess is we'll get them Friday 7th Nov give or take a couple of days.
