What I wouldn't give to have the grades to apply to St. Andrews! Nah I'm really happy with my choices actually considering a year ago when I was 3 months in to my year 12 repeat after having got EEUU :redface:

I applied to Aberystwyth, Birmingham, Cardiff (x2) and Swansea. I've firmed Cardiff and insured Aberystwyth :smile: Have you got any offers?


I got conditional ones from UCLan and Leeds. I think if I get offers from St. Andrews it would be my personal statement saving the day. (I was really proud of mine; it is my salvation, I think :tongue:.)(Could salvation be used in that context? I'm not sure.)

Social Analytics & Politics or International Politics & Intelligence Studies :smile: Not sure if I want to go into Politics (most likely) or the Intelligence Service :smile:

Congrats! :smile: Will St. Andrews be your firm?

(I probably should know but) I'm not familiar with the term "firm" in this context, sorry.
Can you clarify? (I can make guesses from context.)

Yeah. St. Andrews seems really good for me.
The others are just to keep my options open, nothing more.
(Quite set on that place.)
