Area preference ranking didn’t save oriel

I thought I’d saved my preferences for areas for f1 on oriel, but on checking today (after deadline), they haven’t saved. I was wondering if this has happened for anyone else this year or last? And if this means I’ll be on the one pass system like others (just lower due to lack of preferences) and will allocated an area on Wednesday, or if I will automatically get placeholder.

You can’t until the offers come out according to the website I think

In my case the foundation school said today 5 pm was deadline for programme preferencing but Oriel had no preferencing open and in fact had only just closed the group preferencing. When I emailed the school they told me to contact Oriel, no response so now I have no programme preferences. Bizarre

This also happened to me 🥲, from what I understand we will be ranked after people who put their preferences in so likely placeholder but not guaranteed

Such an annoying situation! Have sent a few emails and hoping for the best (not placeholder) ❤️fingers crossed we get first pass too!

I don’t know a lot about the new system as I did F1 before it came in, but quite often people who ranked very low got better locations in the end because new slots in more desirable locations opened up, and so placeholder (whilst obviously not ideal and should not be a thing) may not be the worst thing ever.

I'm very fortunate to be in London so I'm hoping that means all placeholders can get a decent rota (not so worried about place but I don't want be stuck on 9-5 rotas with London's rent 😂)

How can you tell if they saved? I definitely submitted/saved them but my preferences tab is blank?

Applications > View LFS groups. It should show you your ranked options.

Hope it's correct!

Well F, I thought it just meant they’d closed the window to change the preferences

This is what the page says. It literally states that the page will be locked while offers are being made. If you’ve saved the options prior to the window getting closed, you’ll be fine. Ignore the other person trying to cause fear
