Wow medicine! Hahaha, I think you'd have a good shot at Oxbridge with your grades! :P I was at the St Andrews Sutton Trust Summer School and everyone that I know that did medicine there loved it haha I want to do French and either Spanish, German or Russian (I'm indecisive haha) at Glasgow or Edinburgh, but my grades are near the lower end of the entry requirements so I'm really hoping for a conditional haha!

It would be amazing if I was in classes with people from TSR, we wouldn't need to get through the whole getting to know you stage haha! We should all meet at the open days if we're going to the same dates

I'm going to Aberdeen on the 30th! Are you? Yeah I'm jotting down a few ideas

I do music a lot and my other extracurriculars are things like squash, swimming, running (though I've not done as much of that last year with my subjects). I'm doing my Duke of Edinburgh through scouts where I'm a leader and in school I'm deputy head boy, so this year is going to be a busy one!

Congrats on swimming!

Nope sadly not I could have but decided I wanted a challenge this year so opted for German! How did you find French?

Yeah I'm going on the 30th We have to meet! I'd love to meet a TSR person in real life!

Haha I could not have done Duke of Edinburgh with all the hiking and camping (not my thing!), but my brother does it. Congrats on depute head boy!

I found French very easy but I'm pretty enthusiastic about it so...

Ah! How was summer school? I would have done something like that but was all over the place with Duke of Edinburgh, summer holidays and T in the Park!

And I don't know about Oxbridge, it's so competitive! You have to sit a special exam and will probably get a condition for AAA at Advanced Higher! So we'll see if I can manage anything near that!! :P

I'm sure you'll get your offers! which is your preferred uni out of Edinburgh and Glasgow?

Thank you what are you going to see at Aberdeen? I've been trying to make a timetable for myself but everything clashes! Oh well I'll just try and fit in as much as possible!

Oh haha my family is big on hiking/camping/cycling all the outdoors things! And thank you, I'm so excited about getting the job!

It was amazing, probably the most fun I've had all year haha! :P
AAA at Advanced Higher?! Good luck haha! But after seeing your 5th year grades I'm sure you'll manage it :P
I think my preferred uni would be Glasgow, although I don't think my parents are too keen as although I'll be staying in halls if I go to either of them I'll be really far away from home if I go to Glasgow.

[paramore28]

Seems a few of us are going to the Glasgow Open Day, anyone fancying meeting up? hahaha :P

Shocking that you went to Sutton Trust and St As isn't even your preferred uni

I would love to go to St Andrews but my grades aren't good enough

What grades did you get?
If you email Mike (if he's still the guy in charge) after you've applied to St Andrews, he could speak to the admissions officer for your subject and tell them how awesome you are

ABBBC, i've phoned up and they've said it's very unlikely i'd get an offer but Mike's sending out pre-application forms to the ones who went to Sutton Trust to tell us our chances of getting in. But I might try that haha :P

I went to the open day that just passed in June, so wasn't planning on going to the upcoming one. But I'd go purely for a ScotQuals meet up.
