Try not to worry too much. I have a friend who applied for pretty much the same course I did. She heard two days after sending, and I got mine over a month later, and another guy only got his yesterday.

I hope you hear back soon :smile:

Does anyone know when you get to choose your two extra subjects?

History sounds really interesting in the Glasgow prospectus :smile:

And I'm not sure when you get to pick your extra subjects, it's quite confusiing really! What if you put down a subject but they haven't got enough placements? Mind you, most of the arts courses sound great at glasgow, hence all the applications I made haha :smile:

I know what you mean about the courses, I was having trouble choosing because so many sounded good. I'm still not sure between history and classics, but I have more experience of the former. :smile:

I know you can't choose honours pyschology unless you applied for it orignallly because it's so popular, but apart from that I have no idea. I guess you need to choose before classes start. Actually, another question I was wondering, ucas says the course starts on the 14th, but does that include freshers week or do you go up around the 7th?

Ooooh classics sounds good as well, I'd love to do Latin because I've done the standard grade and the higher and loved it. I'm sad that I didn't do history at school because the more I learn about the subject the more interesting it sounds :smile:

You also get the chance to change your mind after a while I think but obviously the later you leave it the more catch-up you have to do... And I'm not sure about when freshers is to be honest and some courses start at different dates :/ Anybody who could shed some light on this kind of thing would be be very helpful!

I'd have loved to have done latin, but my school didn't offer it (or classics, but I've been doing an extended project on rome and greece and love it ) I'm kind of hoping that classics would mean I get a chance to learn latin as well. :smile:

Can you take history at degree level without a higher? (no experience of the scottish school system)

I didn't know courses started at different times. I just assumed everyone was the 14th, well accept maybe medicene. :/

I know they mark soooo differently! I'm scared as to what will be considered a B! Just got my results today! Got two 15's for sociology and politics so I'm pretty happy about that! :smile:

I have decided that if I can im 100% moving! Fingers crossed I'm ok! That's nice your parents came up! I came home for the weekend! Xxxx

Looks like there are a few of us from Aberdeen then applying for Glasgow haha! I'm applying for first year at Glasgow too but for Classics (doing history right now). Just wondering if you've had any offers yet? I got an email a while ago saying that my application would be 'held' until March and the wait is killing me! My friends have already signed a lease on a flat for second year and are trying to get me to hurry up and sign but still waiting on either an offer or rejection from Glasgow :/ Have you applied anywhere else?

Ah, how come you're leaving? I've had offers from Glasgow and Strathclyde and I'm still waiting on Edinburgh, Dundee (they want me to get a refernce and a transcript?) and my other Glasgow (that's being held till August).
Do either of you know anything about false start years? Yesterday someone at the infohub said she thought saas wouldn't pay the fees for my last year because I'm doing the same course and you need to change to something really different like arts to a science. :/ Have either of you contacted saas about that? She said I should maybe phone Glasgow to see if I could go into second year instead and finish the course here.
Ahhh so confused. :frown:

Hiya, I applied for Classics (also without Latin) - as far as I can make out, at pre-honours level there isn't any language element, but Latin and Greek are both separate options which don't require any previous language knowledge.
