The "I've applied to Edinburgh for 2012 entry" chat thread

The people I know who got 5A and an offer before xmas were applying for Maths and Medicine - at least 2 of them were Oxbridge applicants, and had their applications in well before the mid Oct deadline. Probably different departments do different things, and maybe the timing of their applications made a difference too.

Hopefully it won't be too much longer before you hear about the MChem.... my son is waiting to hear about MPhys, so we are in the same boat.

Did you send them an e-mail and they told you that they would hear from them before the end of Feb, or they just sent it by them selves?

Hi

I applied to Oxford and have a conditional from them but would like to hear from Edinburgh as I need an insurance offer.

Congrats on your Oxford offer - my eldest son is at Lincoln College..... he was also looking to Edin for his insurance but didn't get an offer! Scary but it did focus his mind very sharply on his AH exams......

Thank you! My offer is from Lincoln. Need to get 2 As at advance higher in Maths and Chemistry.

I got an offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! What's the subject and the requirements?

Sure am :P I'm going for Archaeology! Yourself?

ooooooooooooh Linguistics and Philosophy!
My English teacher asked me to explain the link today, and i just said 'urmmmmmmmmmmm...........' ahahahah

Haha! Tell her it keeps your options open! :P both Linguistics and Philosophy sound really interesting! Are you putting Edinburgh as your first choice? I'm really excited for this open day coming up, I go to Glasgow far more than Edinburgh so it'll be great to see more of Edinburgh city and the uni.

aha! This is true! I will

I'm not sure - I loved York, and I'm going there the week after, so I'll be able to properly compare them, but Edinburgh, being an MA and it's low offer are appealing........ but I know nothing about the city or university.

Gosh I never go - I live in the south of England!

Have you looked at accommodation? I was looking at it, and I understood it to be that its catered for halls, and then there are houses?! I got confused!

Rejected for History with A*A*A* predictions, AAAA last year, and an EPQ. So gutted. I fell in love with Edinburgh last year at their open day and have been hoping on hope and wishing so hard for so long.

I hope others had better luck

That sucks! They often say that they turn to PS for some of the heavily subscribed subjects, I would request feedback (unless you already have/they already gave it to you). Just bad luck =/ Sorry!
