The Official Glasgow Applicants 2012 Thread!

Same! I applied for English, predicted 37. And 37 points at IB is so much harder than ABB! But don't worry, I'd be really surprised if you didn't get it.

hey there another IB student : is your offer 37 points as well, or are these points only your predicted grades? I mean, that's a lot. I might be wrong, but ABB is more like 34 points, isn't it?
I've received my offer three days after I've sent it to Glasgow. It was in the beginning of November. If it helps, I have applied for Business with German Language and my condition is 36 points which is not that easy either, but at least it is not something I did not expect, as the exact same condition is stated on their website

Hey No, I haven't received my offer yet.

I applied on the 4th of October, so yeah, it's strange that they're making me wait so long. To be honest, I never even considered the possibility that Durham would make me an offer, so I kind of had my heart set on Edinburgh and Glasgow. I'll be mad to turn down Durham and I love Edinburgh, so they're likely going to be my firm/ insurance choices. My Durham offer= 38, Edinburgh offer= 34, potential Glasgow offer= 36. Which means... no Glasgow.

And ya, you're right: ABB is more like 32, not even 34 (Newcastle actually equates AAA with 34, which is a bit too kind to us IB students ) I don't know what universities are thinking when they ask ABB at A level and 36 points at IB! The rep from one of my universities told me that UCAS has asked all the universities to lower their requirements for IB, so things are looking good for 2013's applicants. Anyway sorry for rambling. I better stop cribbing now that I've been accepted by my joint top choices.

Oh, so you've already got an offer from Edinburgh? Gosh I am so happy for you, your choices are great. : Durham is wonderful as well, with a great reputation.

Yeah ABB is definitely not 36 points.. wish I could be the one applying for 2013 entry then but I still hope Edinburgh will accept me.. cause 36 for Glasgow is a bit too much I think.

Congrats on all your offers again!

Got an unconditional for 2nd year entry to zoology

Unconditionals for both politics & history and politics & english lit! SO happy aaaah!

Have you already left school? I don't understand whether it's possible to get Unconditional if you haven't taken any exams yet or not.

Got a Conditional for Comp Sci! So happy!
Need maybe to tumble over myself, but I'll do everything to get the place.

Congrats! I'll see you there, hopefully

Just recieved a conditional offer of ABB to read History and Philosophy!! So excited, it's my first choice!!!
