It is distressing to me to think that I won't be here next year to greet, and drink with, all you would be freshers.

Unless of course I get foundation in Aberdeen and can do so as a lecherous Doctor.

:wink:

Anyway, good luck to you all who have applied.

-TLP.

Nice first post (I think).

I will down pints in your honour (providing I get in).

I just got an email from UCAS thinking it was an update on the status of my application

Turns out it was about some HSBC for students...

Oh UCAS how you taunt me :frown:

The first interviews are usually end of November/ start of December, but they start with locals generally - it's not a preference towards them, just the way Aberdeen organise things.

Aww dang, I guess us internationals will just have to be a bit more patient :rolleyes:

I think the notice is a bit ridiculous tbh, some applicants will spend a fortune trying to get from Englandshire to Aberdeen with a week's notice.

I'm assuming international candidates will get more notice than one week? :eek:

I think I got two weeks notice, but it cost me in the region of three figures to get to interview.

According to this, they have already started.

Yeah it's only two though. I'm not panicking yet seeing as they interview right up until March. Would be nice to be one of the two though...

It's even worse when you get emails from the uni itself. Be prepared to get LOADS of pointless emails from Aberdeen.
