    I've applied for history - but my MyEd username/password don't seem to be working :s. Anyone else found this?
    I got the same, tried the damn thing 5 times! Then tried it again the next day and got in no problem There seems to be a lag between getting your login and the system actually recognising it.
    btw I'm applying for Geophysics.

    Applied for French and ab initio Spanish

    Edinburgh's my joint first choice with Cambridge. If I got offers off both (which I won't) I'd have no idea which one to choose.

    I really can't bear this wait until April/May! I'm praying I get in

    Me too Let the frantic checking of track every few hours commence! I think they look at everyone to compare them them before they give any offers though I'm practically trying to sleep with my fingers crossed even though nothing will happen for ages...
