    I guess now we are both just playing the waiting game! I am so anxious at this point, I just wonder when I will find out.

    Me too. My School is finally trickling out offers (I saw two for Philosophy and Economics go out) so I am getting quite nervous!

    I am still waiting as well. I applied for Ancient and Mediaeval History at Edinburgh with SAT of 1810 and AP scores in World History (3,) English Language and Composition (4,) and U.S. Government and Politics (5.) I have already received an unconditional offer from the University of York in "Heritage Studies" and I am not really sure why I applied for that, because I want history not archaeology so I guess that was just a mistake. So I am really hoping Edinburgh accepts me. I'm worried because my math score wasn't above 600 like it says is a necessary admissions requirement. Oh well time will tell.

    Hey all. Recently received (and accepted) an offer for the Biodiversity and Taxonomy of Plants MSc program: I will be attending the school for the 2012-2013 year.


    I submitted my application in January and waited 2 weeks to receive a UUn, then waited a further 10 or so days before receiving the offer. Obviously postgrad requirements are different than undergrad, but my relevant qualifications were academic experience in my chosen field and a 3.50 overall GPA as an undergrad.
