Re: St Andrews Applicants 2012Um. Yes, I did. Thanks! I don't think GCSEs are that important for Cambridge. The two big things, it seems, are good interview (+written work/entrance exam) performance and good UMS at AS. (The first is probably more important considering that my UMS were actually slightly below average for a Cambridge applicant, esp. 84.5% in English itself...)(Original post by jamesman13)
you got an offer from cambridge? your gcses arent even that good (for a cambridge applicant ofc) well done mate! -

Re: St Andrews Applicants 2012You're most likely going to hear from UCAS (if you applied through UCAS) first, and that will be the normal email informing there has been an update on your UCAS track.(Original post by watbrif)
How do they actually give notice of their decision, e-mail or only via mail?
If you're international, I think they typically like to send out emails; it's fast and means less printing, good for the environment.
So if you want to know the best place to sit and wait, I would recommend your computer, and not the letterbox.

Re: St Andrews Applicants 2012I am an independent American applicant and am unable to send my transcript to St. Andrews via Naviance as I applied through UCAS, not the Common App, so my school will mail it. My guidance counselor needs to know where to send it.
Do I send it to International Undergraduate Recruitment & Admissions or the Admissions and Application Centre? The addresses are slightly different... -

Re: St Andrews Applicants 2012I'm postgrad, so no UCAS - but yeah, makes sense. They (IR Department) even say when they give notice (31 March). I only hope that's not the day they actually send a letter to me all across Europe(Original post by Helsy)

Re: St Andrews Applicants 2012Nice to meet you!(Original post by elliegra)
Found out last week I was accepted into Psychology!
I'm excited but not positive that is where I will go or not. I am American so it is so far away from home and I haven't had the chance to visit
anyone else for psychology?! Got my offer a week ago. I am from Russia, by the way

Re: St Andrews Applicants 2012I sent mine on November 4th. I hear St. Andrews is one of the slowest universities to reply... I also applied with IR (and social anthropology) and am so impatient to hear back from them (even though I'm not very optimistic, but hope dies last haha)(Original post by amk933)
When does the IR department give out offers to Home EU/UK applicants?
I sent my application on October 14 and still no info...
Where are you from by the way? -

I only applied a week or so ago but I'm also an American applicant for psychology who is worried about visiting if given an offer

does St. Andrews have open days in June? You may be able to go then... Or you can go another day and ask for an individual tour.
Just visiting would be really expensive for me so we'll have to wait and see :/ -

There is none in June because the academic year ends in May, and none in May because we'll be busy with exams etc. But yes, if you can make it to a Visiting Day, then by all means come

Re: St Andrews Applicants 2012As Sappho said, there are specific dates but none in June because they'll basically be no one here. But you can get individual tours and chat to potential lecturers etc. Click here and scroll down towards the bottom and read about what you do if you're international.(Original post by cricket123)
