***Official 2012 Neuroscience Applicants

Good luck guys!
I'm currently in my first year. So if you have any neurosciencey questions, ASK ME

Nice!
quite simply, how are you finding it? Did everything live up to what you thought it'd be like? and where are you studying?

Ello,
I'm at Manchester Uni.
The first year just goes over general Biology- everything from evolution to DNA replication. I'm not very fond of this stuff, so I'm just trying to get through this year so I can get to the good bits
It's pretty easy to be honest, nothing particularly shocking if you've done A-level biology.

do anyone apply to edinburgh? which year of entry did you apply for? 1st or 2nd year?

cause i've just realised that the course will take like 4 years after I've got an offer from this uni, and read from the prospectus that its actually possible to have direct entry to 2nd year :P will it be actually a good idea to study for 4 years instead of 3 years(even though it ends up with a BSc)? i'm a bit afraid that it may be a waste of time, but someone tells me that it may better if i spend one more year studying the basics first ...

please can anyone answer me?

I applied for the first year, but then I never thought too much about it because I don't have to worry about fees because I get a full grant anyway. What appealed to me a lot about Edinburgh (although not enough to make it my top choice) was the fact that, in the first year, you could take loads of modules (or whatever they are called) that are not to do with your subject. I guess if you go straight into second year you have to focus more and not mess around so much.
Anyway, is there any way you can change it now? If not then there's probably no need to worry too much about it, it's the way it is.

Has anyone heard back from Bristol yet? I've got two offers and I sent it off in Oct, so I'd really like to know! :/

Oh, well you're welcome for showing you the thread Maybe this will help you too

Haha, I'm sorry, I definately would have thanked you if I'd realised, I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time on here. There's so much to look at... Thank you EVER SO MUCH!
I'm under-grad too, I thought I saw something that implied you two were both post-grad... see, no idea what I'm doing. Thanks again for the link!

Sorry. I guess I'm in a not particularly great mood
Where else did you apply?

Heyy, don't be down, you got an offer! I applied to Dundee, Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds and Nottingham. I've had offers from Leeds and Notts, and a rejection from Cardiff, but aside from that I've heard nothing. Yourself?

Offers from Leeds, Manchester, Sussex and Keele. Haven't heard from Edinburgh yet.
Thank you All is good I guess. Where's your top choice?

I'm thinking I'll probably go for Notts now Cardiff's rejected me. Did Manchester need chem? I decided not to apply because I figured they'd need it, and picked Cardiff instead, so if I coulda got into Manch I'll be bummed.
Bristol's *hopefully* going to be my second choice, fingers crossed. How about you?

Nope, I don't have chemistry, which is how I narrowed down my choices majorly
Didn't Cardiff need chemistry?
Manchester my top, definitely.
Nice to see someone else without chemistry There don't seem to be many people... I just couldn't face it at A level.

is it a really bad sign that I STILL haven't heard back from UCL? or is it to be expected due to the questionnaire causing the process to take longer?
