    Thank you so much! Have you heard anything? If not, it really won't take long now and fingers crossed for you too.
    Not yet, but not too many days left anymore. I think I can wait a little longer Hopefully it's good news, if not... Then oh well! Haha

    I'm sure they will get back to you soon. We're all about to go on spring vacation so if they've been struggling to reply to emails, they should be able to reply soon.

    Out of curiosity, who did you send the email to??
    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

    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
    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.

    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!
    Yeah got rejected today by St Andrews. Don't think I would have taken the offer there either. Good luck to you if you're still waiting!

    Well, if you sent it to Dr Bruce Sinclair then you stand a good chance of being given an update soon. He's usually reliable with replying to emails.
    Fingers crossed!! :crossedf:

    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?

    Thanks I was over the moon to get an offer! Ah yes, forgot you were Scottish :P my conditions are AAB, which are my predicteds and what I think I could get! And yes, I firmed it the minute I got home (I got the offer when I was at school). How about you?
    Haha, good plan! I bought a new dress, always the best way to celebrate!

    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.
