Yep about two weeks ago!


Congrats :smile: is st Andrews going to be your firm?
How long does it take to hear back from the admission team with the status: "ACADEMIC DECISION HAS BEEN MADE". Is it a good or bad sign that it only took them 48 hours from decision panel to decision has been made? :s
Cheers

FAQ on Modules


thanks :smile: do you know when we chose our other modules?

Just so I understand correctly, you can't write what hall you'd prefer on the accommodation form, you're only allowed to write what price range and type? E.g. I'd love to go to uni hall, so I would put catered mid-range single room? I'm a bit confuzzled :tongue:

Edit: I've just looked at the form again and worked it out! :tongue:

Wow! It took me weeks to pluck up the courage to make my final decision (though it was obviously going to be St Andrews) and even then I had my Dad double check the UCAs response form before I confirmed it, to make sure I'd not accidentally turned down St Andrews. :tongue:

Hope to see you around next year then!! :smile: Good luck with all the exams!

That sounds more my style... its the only one I haven't looked at and I refuse to firm it until I do :smile: I can't make the open day, but I'm going to visit soon with a friend. I really want to maximise my time there, see the places that are a big part of student life and not necessarily touristy... Just wondering whether you had any recommendations? Or is there anything you really think is worth seeing? ...The St A guide seems to be uber geared towards visiting parents, if you see what I mean.

Welll..... the different coffee shops are always a good place to start. Seems that's where most people seem to hang out if they don't spend their whole day on North Haugh like I do (it's a bit out of the main town/university area).
But definitely try and get in to see the department. You can usually get someone to help with that by emailing someone. And consider wandering into the Union, which during daytime is fairly easy as they don't check ID or if your a student during the day. And if you can get in to the main library, that's a good place to see, since if you do anything besides physics and maths, you'll probably spend a lot of time there.
But yeah, if you want to see a bit more of the uni, then look here for more tips generally.

Congrats. Which subject?
I'll repeat my question from the other day, please could someone be merciful enough to answer it for me?:

I was accepted to St. A a while ago and since then I've firmed it. At this stage, what should I be doing, or what could I do to make the process easier?
