St Andrews Applicants 2012

I am one of the unlucky few with A* projections, and still didn't get in. Awaiting feedback to see where I went wrong. Although, word has it that physics has been heavily subscribed to this year.

Ah well, looks like that was my last hope of going to university this year, looks like a gap year for me!

Physics applicant, just got my rejection, via update of track, no email or any explanation. Emailed for some feedback, anyone else been in this situation and knows anything?

Ok I have a question about accommodation. Do we get any cleaning services, I believe in Oxford people get rooms cleaned once a week. Is this the case in St. Andrews, or are we responsible for cleaning our rooms?????

I will be doing in the next couple of days...so excited!!

I've been thinking about going up and visiting again, but they only seem to have "prospective students" open days, not ones for offer-holders

Can I ask, what did you see when you went there last week? Did they let you in anywhere/could you ask staff questions etc? Was it "worth it"?
Or did you just have a look around the town again?

Have many people heard back from them about Art History? I tried scrolling back a few pages and only saw one mention it. Getting quite nervous now!

I got my offer on the 1st of feb however it was an unconditional and I haven't heard of anyone get a conditional offer yet so I reckon it should be soon!!

Oh, congrats! Will it be your top choice or do you have some other university in mind?
And I hope it'll be soon, the wait is driving me up the wall. I keep refreshing UCAS, my email and this page just in case someone has news

Bad luck. Right attitude though =). Best wishes with LSE

I also got LSE rejected and St. A made me an unconditional for the same degree. LSE said it was my personal statement when I asked for feedback. I'm sorry I could not get my interest in economics across sufficiently, but maybe if tutors weren't lazy and red more than 4000 characters per applicant, then personal statements would actually mean something

oh, just the opposite happened to me! :P I guess, LSE didn't like my Personal Statement, but St A did.

Sometimes I'm really curious on how they select people and on what they put an emphasize.

It's my first choice! I confirmed it straight away, how about you?!

My Track changed earlier...I really wanted it to be St Andrews...it wasn't. *weep*

Any French/Spanish/German offers?

I've got a Spanish and Maths offer, but I might have to get them to re-evaluate it cause I want my fee status to be Irish, not British (to try to get my fees paid).. Nervous - apparently they can take away your offer if you do that! Where abouts in NI are you from?

Do St Andrews give offers over the weekend?

I think it really depends on a mix of the department and UCAS. As I know that UCAS can update literally any time, so if staff are working on the applications on the weekends, I don't see why not.

Hope I haven't just made your weekend all nerve-racking now.
