Quote From SocDave:

I've bitten the bullet - I emailed ESRC direct to ask when to expect the results!!

"Hello, I am aware that you are not able to give decisions via any other method than by letter to a institution Nominated Contact, but was wondering if you can give me any idea when the results will be released? That is, when ESRC will post the letters to Uni’s. Even though I won’t find out my result, at least I’ll have an idea when the fateful day will be!!"

Lets hope I get a response that isn't "go away" in not so polite terms!!!;-)

Quote From SocDave:

If the results come out on day 1 (i.e. they are sent out), then assuming 1st class post, they arrive day 2 at uni. Presuming good admin, they arrive on the desk of the nominated contact day 2 also. Then, assuming they open it day 2, and are nice people;-) - then you get an email day 2. Problem is - I know for a fact that my Nom Con is on leave a couple of days this week and ALL next week, and i bet that she's not the only one:-(. Ah well......
