I'm going to have the same issue.

I think I will most likely fly up with one of my parents, which will allow me to carry at least 2 suitcases (or pay around £35 for an extra suitcase) and one on-board bag , and get the rest up through a courier service or something.

Flying up seems to be not too more expensive than getting a train, and so much quicker :)

anyone has message "no residences currently have availability" shown when applying?

Edinburgh don't go into Extra or Clearing - and even if they did, it wouldn't be with courses like Psychology that fill up without difficulty.

You don't say anywhere what your grades in Portugal are - but you'll need a significantly higher level of attainment to get admitted to Edinburgh than you will for Portsmouth/Lincoln/Plymouth.

ah so you don't know what subjects you can take until you get to edinburgh uni itself? Do you know what any of these over subscribed courses are? It seems silly that they go on about how flexible the program is yet once you're there you are stuck doing two other subjects you had not thought about before....

Do you know how possible it is to change degree program entirely? Thanks

Yea but they don't care about points that's why their offer is not in terms of ucas points!
Also why did I get neged on the previous post just for stating a fact?

I'm in Darroch not Pollock sorry, so do you reckon it's not worth trying to find a space nearby on friday night, I don't know the area, thanks.

Anyone out there accepted an offer for the MSc BIG program next year?

Current program students - feel free to join so we can pick your brains about the program!

I should note that I'm running online startup and that's why being closer to london is kind of important to me. However, Edinburgh has always been a dream to me and I finally had an offer which I'm hesitating to reject. Should I choose Edinburgh or Manchester?

Should I arrange a meeting with my personal tutor or the course director for French? Really hope I don't get kicked out :/

Course: Architecture (K100)

See you guys in a bit. :)

Hey I have also got an offer from Edinburgh. I was wondering if anyone can advise on what type of clothes girls wear for the first day if uni? And during lectures etc. :)

I got an Unconditional as well, which I accepted! I will see you all there! It's also cool to see that there's another guy there too! :P I'll also be staying somewhere in Pollock Halls, anyone else going to stay there?

(I sometimes wonder if people don't take the initiative with these things)

Thanks :)

Do you know if they're marked in the same way as course work essays? Presumably it's harder to write an essay worth, say, 65 in the exam than it is in coursework. Do they take that into consideration?

Hi!
my only advice is coming from people who think Edinburgh is a beautiful city.

My girlfriend for example, a computer scientist, reports very high levels of student satisfaction in her course.

But the main issue with going the Stanford route is that I have to reapply for medical school. I have to do another undergraduate degree before that. Another problem is the fact that places for international students in the US are really low (around 150 places in the entire country), and so entry is really competitive.

You can choose an outside subject in first year if you want to. You have forty free credits, which is the equivalent of one year-long course or two semester-long courses.

If you're planning on going to the bar to become an advocate, it's strongly recommended that you fill the space with Civil Law. You need Civil Law and International Private Law courses to go to the bar. You can get these later on from the Faculty, but it's much simpler to take these courses in your first and second year respectively.

You'd need to speak to the university when you arrived but given an A at AS Maths is an entry requirement for the course at Edinburgh I can't see them being overly willing to let you take economics if you don't actually meet the entry requirements. However, they may well do (assuming there's space on the course) and let it be on your head if you struggle/fail with the maths element of the economics course.The only thing I can really suggest is for you to work on the AS Maths content in your spare time over the summer and then when you get to Edinburgh you can say that yes, you've not taken AS Maths but you've covered the necessary content as a hobby but again this just depends on how strict they're going to be with the requirements.

With economics, the maths requirements differ quite a lot between universities depending on what the course focuses on and whether the university offers catch up sessions in maths for people without A level maths. Some universities have a heavy statistical competent to the economics course which is why they require A level maths whereas others don't really focus on this aspect at all so you're likely to find that the course content and maths support at York/Sheffield is different to Edinburgh to compensate for the difference in entry requirements.

Hiya, I'm a dyslexic student at Edinburgh and it's amazing. So supportive! I have double loans on the shorter loans at the library (turned 3 hour book loans into 6 hours, and one week into 2 week etc...). I have a computer for exams, extra time and 30 minutes reading time at the start of an exam. I have permission to record lectures, I take notes on a computer (they offered to help me apply for funding for a special laptop for purpose, but I already had one). They've offered me software to help with notetaking. At the moment I have stickers on every essay informing the markers that I have learning difficulties, although they've emailed me to inform me that they're thinking of getting rid of these. They have told me that there's no way I will ever have more than one exam on the same day because of extra time etc, and promised to alter exam timetables if there are any clashes instead of making me take exams back to back. Frankly, they've been incredible.

I've tried to find a thread about this but couldn't find anything so thought i'd start one.. when did you get your offers in previous years? I know Edinburgh give offers late but as Business is a popular course, will i have to wait longer? Any help would be great! Thanks!

hi

i am on the pgde biology course 2013 as well - nice to know it's not just me!

any ideas on what date we start?

Hey! This is my first post so I hope this works...

But basically I'm in a dilemma surrounding which uni to go to, which I'm sure loads of you are as it creeps closer to the 8th May deadline.
I've applied for English Language and Linguistics and have managed to narrow it down to the University of Edinburgh and the University of York.

Edinburgh lowered my offer from AAA to ABB and York remains at AAB. It's not so much the grades that is the factor but I just do not know which to choose!? Edinburgh's open day put me off and the 4 year course = more debt doesn't sound too great. The uni themselves don't strike me as being super student friendly from the lack of communication I've received which is daunting but the city is beautiful. Although I find York's course to suit me more.

I have a feeling I could regret not taking up the offer at Edinburgh because although both are in the Russel Group, Edinburgh could open more doors? Or I could be totally wrong!! (This is all part of the problem, along with the fact I am very indecisive)

If anyone's in the same situation or could shed some light on my situation please feel free! Thanks in advance :)
