I saw your conditions in the other thread and they're so high! Why is it that it's much higher? My offer is 35!
But I wanted to tell you that you're awesome too because I'm also doing Maths and Music HL haha (I'm not stalking you I promise)

haha looks like we got a stalker! :P Are you an international student? Im swedish so going to Edinburgh will be free, but they usually give lower offers to international students who have to pay the full tuition. What are your other subjects and what did you get predicted? :biggrin:

Also, did you apply for straight Econ. like me?

Nvmd, i stalked you a bit and saw that you got an offer for Music & Math :biggrin:

Im pretty sure Economics is much more competitive, so more applicants=higher offers I guess. 40 and 666HL is probably doable though :smile:

haha, maybe if we both end up in Edinburgh we could jam sometime, I play bass guitar and piano :P

That's what surprised me as well. My offer is 34 :redface:

Can't believe some people have got offers of 38+!! 34 to 40 is a HUGE jump....

I have sent an email to the Engineering Department about my application status, and this is what I got in return.

"Thank you for your e-mail. We apologise for the delay, we hope to have a decision for you next week. If you have any other questions please let us know!

Best wishes,Beth"

Looking positively towards next week!

Wow, I just received a conditional for geography from UCL. :smile:

After two rejections from StAndrews and Durham, this makes me think positive about Edinburgh's future decision. Fingers crossed.

Hi,

Did anyone received any offer for Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science (GG47)?

Basically I emailed them asking about the whole 'pending' situation - I've applied for English Literature and Classics - along with an my updated remark and they sent this back:

"Thank you for your email and the update on your English paper. I am sorry that you are still awaiting a decision on your application however as we make the bulk of our decisions after the closing date of 15 January this is not unusual. Hopefully you will hear something from us within the next couple of weeks."

Couple of weeks, guhhhh. NOT HOPEFUL AT ALL.

Think someone got an offer for that if you look a few pages back.

I am losing my patience for a reply for Computer Science, status went blank yesterday after 2pm so it should be soon. I hope. :frown:

hahaha and no I'm from London. Ahh right that makes sense! I'm predicted 39 with bonus points. I just realised I also probably qualify for the criteria that lower the offer because I'm from a deprived area/parents didn't go university
