How Long Does it Take to Hear Back?

Hiya!
Sent my application for a postgrad about a month ago. Over three weeks ago I got an email saying thanks for my application and that I'll hear from them soon. On the uni's website they've said that it usually takes 3 weeks. On Tuesday it will have been a month. I'm not sure whether I'm expecting something through the post or via email, either.
Does anyone know generally how long it takes? Or do I just have to wait it out?
I'm just getting super nervous now, is all!

Eeek! I hope so!
I think I'll email them tomorrow if I still haven't heard...
Went on the uni's website. Said that it takes up to four weeks at the busiest time of year, but it also says that up until Christmas is a really quiet time. So it's quiet, but I still haven't head back. So I emailed the email address I was told to email with any queries. This is a query so *fingers crossed* hopefully they'll get back soon!
As in, that's the latest? Well, at least if I wait that long it still gives me time to find graduate jobs to apply to.
Stupid other three unis! Congrats on the biomed and the interview though!
Brilliant! Cheers!
Postgrad applications don't go through UCAS, so it's entirely down to the individual university. However, I should say you have a pretty good chance of being accepted - postgrad courses in general aren't so competitive as undergrad courses; as long as you reach the minimum requirements they will want you because you pay hefty tuition fees. I didn't realise this when I applied for my MSc in Public Policy and so actually applied to 5 different unis as belt and braces and got offers from all of them.
So just sit tight - I'm sure that offer will come along in due course. Good luck
