Scottish universities (like all universities) can discriminate by giving preference to local students. Edinburgh for example do give local students a slight advantage (link). St Andrews, however, doesn't. They'd rather take the best students, no matter where they come from

Unfortunately, I cannot answer for these questions cause honestly I don't know But I think its worth applying and that the scottish system is not so corrupt

Lol! Thank you for your reply.
Are you also completing your A Levels, or are you a degree student?
I was thinking of taking a gap year to work for Deloitte but I didn't get through; its really competitive! -_-

Yeah you still stand a chance, although if you get an offer it will probably be conditional Good luck!

I'm doing Maths and Physics at St Andrews, and most people have those kind of grades; they're definitely good enough, but it is still very competitive. I have no idea how much they care about extra curricular stuff, but I don't think it's that important (seeing as I didn't do much outside school at all), a lot of it is just luck.

I'm planning to apply for French and beginners German most likely, this is subject to change though! I got AAABB in my Highers

I'm IB student.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get job soon

Well i was only thinking of applying through scholar schemes like deloitte, but university is definitely first on my list! I'm pretty confused where to apply though -_-
Have you decided on your choices yet?

[wasting-time]

wtf why haven't I seen this thread before!?

I'm planning on applying to St. Android's for Biochemistry

anyone around this forum done/doing bio? if so any advice on applications would be welcome especially as I am planning on applying to Natural Sciences for my other choices so I need a carefully worded PS.
Is it a really competetive course? I'm predicted A*A*A*A*A*a in bio, chem, physics, maths, general studies, further maths, respectively but will not having a 100% biochem PS put me at a disadvantage?

[_Bright Eyes]

@ Meha- Yes, I got the same and got in.

Can't believe I'm yet to post in this thread!
Visited St A's back in March and absolutely loved it, applying for Social Anthropology AS's weren't fab though, so I'm doubtful of an offer :/

What does the average economics student at St. Andrews have academeically (AS, Predictions and GCSE's)

[beth..]

Im going to be applying to do french and spanish, international relations with french and spanish, and economics with spanish. I got AAAAA in higher english, maths, history, french, spanish. IR with french and spanish is my dream degree but its gonna be really tough to get into

[Oh-WOW]

You do have good grades so you have a good chance.
You could just apply for French and Spanish and take IR as your third module...

I don't think I've posted on here...

Well I'll be applying to St Andrews as it looks amazing, it's pretty, it's not too far away from home but far enough, I love golf and they apparently have a good maths course. I'll be applying for Maths (either BSc or MMath). Pretty good GCSE's and got 5 A's at higher. So yeah =) Any other maths applicants on here yet? *Goes and checks previous posts*

Hello everybody. I will (hope to) be applying for Maths & Physics and have AAAAB at higher. Has anyone actually been to St Andrews here? Is it really as small as they say it is?

It's not tiny, but it's still a small town. Come visit and see what you think for yourself
Some people might think that it's too small, but the majority of people I've spoken to think it's the perfect size.
