Sorry to hear the news Evaki. I hope you cheer up soon - I feel completely better already which is a relief!

Please please please someone tell us they got it soon!

Thanks Evaki! I think I'm ok about it...its a relief just to know finally. Good luck with yours! Hope we hear about some success stories soon!

Just got my results - failed also!! Bit gutting but kind of expected I guess...hope all the other 'unsuccesfuls' are doing ok...

Hey Shani, really sorry also. Hope you're feeling ok. I'll let you know when I hear anything. I'll most probably be joining you in disappointment very soon. Take care!!

Very well done indeed!

Well done dee! Nice to hear a success story. Were you in the quota competition then?

Welcome Sinbad and thanks for the info. Guess we'll all have to hang on a little longer...

I never thought I'd find an online forum so helpful! Kind of a relief to know other people are also as stressed as me...I emailed my registry and they said I should speak directly to my department, so emailed them and waiting to hear back...

Yes me too... please do share everyone if you're successful! Would be nice know what the ESRC goes for...again, many good lucks...

And all best luck to you!!! Let me know how you get on.

Hi Evaki, Just emailed my registry also...frustrating that we know they will know by today... I'll let you know if I hear anything!

I feel your pain Evaki. No news my end. I'm getting really stressed!Just want to know so I can start developing plan B. Can't make myself do it while a teeny glimmer of hope remains...

Nope, still waiting!!

Cheers for all the messages! And Shani, thanks alot for the info on that. Good luck all...just a few more days but it's a horrible wait...

Hi All,

Great to hear from some other people who are waiting - and thanks for the info! I applied for the +3. I know there is only a tiny tiny chance, but I still can't get rid of that tiny bit of hope either! And will also feel disappointed even though I'm rationally pretty convinced I won't get funding...anyone considering trying to self fund the first year? My supervisor is encouraging me to do that - she self funded and managed to get little pots of money to keep her going through her PhD....but I haven't heard of many people having 2nd and 3rd year funding success so it feels like a bit of a risk... well good luck to all!!
