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

d'aww, we have our very own thread troll.

Edinburgh is a crap uni, don't know why anyone would want to go there except for stupid scots who are pretty much reserved a place just for being scottish. Nothing good about that place.

Last year - blank my application status and no change from "my fee status" to "my fee details" = rejection. Blank application status+my fee details appearing = offer. Ucas often updated hours or days after these changes.

This year - being done a little differently. several who have had offers say Ucas updated before my application status changed on Euclid. A number of people have had their "my fee details" added, but application status left "pending", not blank - including my sons, 3 weeks ago.

My theory is that this year they are uploading "my fee details" to applicants Euclidaccount when they make a decision about that applicant, but they are not changing the application status box until they inform Ucas (and that could be in small batches over weeks, or all at once, depending on the department).

It all means something...... sadly we can only speculate at this stage.

Where do you see the fee status/details field?

^ lucky you! Congrats



I hope you are right! I have this "My fee details"added for about three days but neither Ucas, nor my Edaccount has been changed. However, does "my fee details"mean you are getting for sure an unconditional or conditional offer or they could add it to you even if you're gonna be rejected? I know how awkward this sounds but I'm really confused now.

I GOT AN OFFER YAYAYAYAY so happy I could cry
Just checked EUCLID and my application status is blank but the offer has come through on UCAS for all those wondering about EUCLID

Why are my tuition fees estimated at 1820 pounds (on euclid)? I find it really difficult to get information about the fees on their websites, but I thought fees for Scottish and EU applicants are zero and for the rest of UK 9000?
Thanks for any help

Mine is still 'pending'. Oh, Edi, you are tantalizing~.

Mine too

It is Zero, in effect, for Scottish students (and EU), but you have to apply for a student loan to cover the fees that you WOULD pay if you were a self supporting student (if this was your 2nd degree for example), then it sort of gets cancelled, and you pay/borrow Zero for fees.

Ah, just noticed you are English! Sorry, yes £9000.
