Awesome! What Uni you wanting to study at? 
I'm hoping for it to be Edinburgh, but I'm also considering Strathclyde as well. Not really decided which one I prefer yet. Strathclyde strikes me as better for graduate prospects but I love the University of Edinburgh and I think it has better facilities on the whole.
What about yourself?

I'm thinking the same thing, I applied for strathy and Edinburgh. I've got an interview/open day at Strathclyde on wednesday but i have yet to hear from Edinburgh. I'm planning on visiting all of them and then deciding which one to accept. I dont think the engineering department at Glasgow is as good as strathclyde or edinburgh but it has my preferred course, so at the moment I'm thinking Glasgow.

I'm going to the same thing at Strathclyde on Wednesday but I'm yet to hear from Edinburgh too. Got an unconditional from Heriot-Watt today though but I'm not really considering them. Don't get me wrong, Glasgow has a great engineering department and it's probably better in the respect that it has fewer students and therefore a better lecturer to student ratio and also more equipment to go around. Strathclyde strikes me as a bit of a school like environment with little room for extra curriculars and outside subjects.
We might bump into eachother without knowing it on Wednesday then
what time are you supposed to be there, 1:15?

. I'll be the long haired ginger guy. Apparently we do team building stuff. I hope it is interesting. Everybody Ive met that goes to Strathclyde said that it is really good so It'll probably be a tough decision to make as to what Uni to choose.
I've got an offer from Hertfordshire, and an interview at York and Bristol. 
Has anyone else applied to York?
Has anyone else applied to York?
Glasgow and York. Still waiting for Edinburgh Essex and Surrey. Probably not gonna get an offer from Surrey though -_-

I was sitting right beside you at the group discussion I think - I was the defenseless victim of a stapler.

. I wonder if glasgow n edinburgh will come across as good as they did.I've already seen quite a bit from them, I doubt they will. I think Edinburgh has better computers and that's just about it.
