St Andrews Applicants 2012

Well done! I'm waiting on (molecular) biology still. Can I ask what your predicted grades were and what your offer is? And when did you apply? I'm getting so impatient now! and well done again

Yep, me.

I don't really want to go there, so I'm not super bothered, but I'd like to get firming my other choice so I can get properly excited!

Congratulations to those with offers


Thanks, I'm sure they will reply sometime soon then I sent an email to the email address I found on the Physics & Astronomy contact page which you kindly directed me to
Who knows, they might send a decision next week

People with offers, have you all applied for accomodation yet?? So excited to start!

Thank you! And I saw you got your offer! Well done! That's fantastic I have to get a B in higher chemistry (predicted A - but I don't know if predictions work the same way in Scotland as in England), which should be okayish kind of hopefully. What were your conditions, if you don't mind me asking? And are you defo firming St Andrews?

I celebrated by buying myself a new pair of jeans now back to work to get my conditions... Bleurgh.

I have for St Salvator's, McIntosh, New and University Hall. I wonder what are the chances of actually being placed in the hall of my preference? And does anybody know whether it's possible to change to a catered option later on if I already applied for self-catered?

Sorry to jump in, but how do you state your preference of hall? When I downloaded the form from their website, it only would let me state the type of accomadation I wanted, not the actual hall.

there is some discussion about this on the accommodation thread. All sounds very confused at present.

When's the deadline for accommodation applications?

You'll be fine now you have your foot in the door! When I was T the open day they said you can do 3 subjects in your first 2 years and take whatever subject(s) you want into the 2rd and 4th year as long as you've done the neccecary modules

Hi, I have an offer for English at St Andrews . I was also confused as to how the flexible courses in your prelim semesters worked. From what I've read, and don't hold me to this, if you're studying English you can opt to study Medeival or Modern History (i'm not sure whether both) as part of your extra courses in the first two years before you start to specialise in the third and fourth years. I imagine it works vice verse for Modern History students, in which you're able to choose English as a complimentary subject then even study it as part of dual honours. Hope this helps!

Out of interest, have you decided what kind of halls you're planning on staying in? I am relatively clueless regarding the accommodation protocol

Thank you, that's very reassuring!



Thanks, hopefully I'll be able to do that then It seems like they're generally prety flexible about it all, I was just a bit worried that they'd bar me from taking English or something like that as I haven't been chosen to start on the joint course aha.

Thanks! It is reaaaally annoying to be rejected after nearly half a year of waiting
Not sure where I'll be going to, it's either Warwick or Trinity College Dublin (or Exeter but...)

You don't have to wait on st Andrews, you can always withdraw so you can firm your favourites.
