    I thought it might be this, thank you
    So does this mean every grade I have put on my UCAS, GCSEs and AS grades
    Cause some of my AS grades have changed due to resits...
    Yeah, its every grade you have at the moment so that means all of your GCSE certificates, your AS ones if you have them or otherwise send them your results slips. It doesn't matter that your grades have changed since the summer results day as they will get confirmation of your January modules in August along with your normal results, so then they'll slot it all in then. Its basically to ensure you're doing all of the subjects you've said and that you haven't lied about anything on your application, such as changing grades or omitting GCSE subjects as you thought they weren't relevant. If everything is fine and your application is all truthful then its nothing to worry about

    We really ought to get someone to take a screen capture of their euclid when it changes (ie with fees details or no fees details). Would someone fancy doing this and we could add it to the OP so that people know what they are looking for...

    Yeah, if anyone wants to do it you can add PM it to me and I'll add it into the first post. Make sure you remove anything that has your name, UCAS number or your matric number first.

    This is what a rejection looks like I believe.

    Unless I'm wrong and got an offer

    I was just notified that I was rejected for Classics. It's not too bad because I was quite determined to go to St Andrews, so hopefully other people who really wanted Edinburgh got in! Congrats again to everyone with offers and don't be too sad those without! Edinburgh is awesome, of course, but there are so many lovely unis out there!

    Did anyone receive answers for Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering with Architecture? The wait is killing me. I will become an EUCLID junkie if it continues this way

    brilliant, thanks

    I've updated the OP in very big writing so everyone needing instructions can be directed there.

    If I've missed anything please let me know as I don't know anything about EUCILD (is it even called that??) at all... when I applied you got an email from Edinburgh saying they had your application then nada until it came on track, then they sent you a letter, then nada until after your had an unconditional and it was confirmed. There was none of this communication with applicants business!

    So I came on here to complain about how I've still not got my offer. Quickly log onto UCAS and BAM!

    A conditional from Edinburgh, two A's
