How strange....literally just got an acknowledgement email from heriot watt right this minute.

Now the wait begins....


Took me around a week and a half/ two weeks to hear anything other than an acknowledgement.

Heres hoping they are quick with mine!!

The uni seems sort of flexible in terms of grades relevant to the subject...when I emailed business department she said that if I get a good grade in my business (predicted A*) then that would go a long way if I don't do as well in my other subjects. Tbh not bothered if I have to go in at level one or two seeing as for English students the first year is entirely discounted :biggrin: :biggrin: .

Well I got ACD first year and predicted ACC and got an offer based on BBB, so they are pretty good. I would rather start 1st year I reckon, even though I already take Economics, just so I have a year to settle, get used to it and all that.

I've applied for both Mathematics and Actuarial Sciences at HW but I've only had an offer for the Maths course. . .so do I need to wait until March for an offer on Actuarial Sciences?

And does anyone know when the Applicants Day is next year, either I'm being really stupid and can't find it on their website, or it's not actually there :frown:
