    The Official Glasgow Applicants 2012 Thread!
    Hi there, seeing as it is officially October (though it may not feel like it!) let's get this thread on the road. Primarily this thread will be for anyone who is applying this year for 2012 entry - but of course it is open to anyone else who may be interested!

    So, what're you applying for?

    Hey there,
    So I'm an American applying to the History program.
    I have a 2100 out of 2400 on the SAT and have taken 2 SAT subject tests (biology 720 out of 800 and US history 750 out of 800)
    I've also taken 2 APs (environmental Science 5 out of 5 and US history 5 out of 5)
    I have a 3.9 GPA out of 4.0 and am in advanced/honors classes.
    I'm also taking 2 more APs this year (European History and Psychology and I'm predicited to get 5s on both)

    I hope I have a chance.

    Sounds like you have an excellent application, although maybe AP World might have been more useful than APES.

    Anyway, I'm applying Vet Medicine!

    Appliyng for History and Maths must admit I'm very excited about going to Glasgow its defo in my top 5 choices!
    Just a quick question is Glasgow as rough as its made out to be, I'm from Newcastle and I wouldn't call it that rough but I do live in the old mining villages where most people know each other but the town doesn't seem too bad (never been oot on the lash there though).
    Finished my personal statement and seems a bit of a car crash of a one going to hand it in to my head of sixth form tomorrow and see what he thinks, anyway, good luck to everyone
