    That's totally understandable. I know that probably doesn't make you feel any better.

    Five months after sending in my application.... I am finally, rejected. Oh well it was expected but still very annoying to have had to wait so long. If there really was no realistic chance of people with grades below XYZ getting a place then it would have been better for Edinburgh just to say so instead of dragging the whole process out.

    I've just received an AAA offer even though I had BCCD (and D or E) at AS level. It means that either people with poor grades have chance or that I'm very lucky.

    Anyway, they waited so long I've changed my mind and won't be going there.

    I have a feeling that it is going to be quite a depressing day...
    What have you applied to do?

    Congratulations, that's good news. What course did you apply for?
    I applied for politics and have AABBB at higher all ready.
    It's a shame they've put you off by taking so long but of course that's your choice and entirely understandable

    I have an unconditional for Aberdeen - Politics and IR so I'm going to firmly accept that. I really liked Aberdeen when I visited and the course was great, people I've spoken to say it's a great choice so I'm not that cut up about being rejected from Edinburgh.

    Yeah, I'm feeling that too. I've applied for International Relations, how about you?

    Hey! I've got an unconditional for that course too, so I'll probably see you there as I'm expecting my rejection tomorrow.

    I'm applying for politics. Perhaps the school's leaving final decisions until tomorrow.

    Or the school doesn't have the same manners as others. Who knows.

    Yeah, it seems to be that way now we've all revealed what we're applying for. I guess we just have to see what happens tomorrow and hope for a miracle. Have you got other offers?

    I'm assuming that I'll be going to Aberdeen now. I'm okay with it too, I think it's lovely and it was always between Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Fingers crossed today though, right? Although I am not hopeful.
