    The "I have an offer from Edinburgh" thread [NO DISCUSSION]
    Okay ladies and gentlemen, it seems that a few offers are starting to come out now for international (non EU) students so its about time we got our offers thread sorted out.

    Most of you will NOT be hearing from Edinburgh until after the January 15th deadline with a lot of people waiting well into March for a decision on their application now. The people who are getting offers at this stage are by and large international students who are subject to different considerations than people who are eligible for home fees.

    However, well done if you do have an offer! If you'd like, you can share your news here with:

    Course:
    Offer Conditions:
    International or Home/EU:
    Reaction:

    Firm/Insurance choice: (update this thread when you've decided on your choices)

    Please take any chat/excitement/discussion/panic relating to other people's offers (or your own) to one of these threads:

    Applicant chat thread

    The Edinburgh FAQ/Q&A/Ask a Current Student thread

    The outside courses/extra subjects question & help thread

    Re: The "I have an offer from Edinburgh" thread
    Course:Archaeology and Social Anthropology
    Condition: Successful completion of French Baccalaureate with an overall score of 14, with 12 in three subjects.

    I don't understand "12 in three subjects". To get an overall score of 14 I need more than 14 in most subjects anyway. So do they mean that I can't get lower than 12 in three subjects?

    reaction: very pleased with myself. now I feel motivated to stop reading about archaeology all the time and get to work on physics, math and chemistry. 14, here I go!

    Re: The "I'm applying to Edinburgh for 2012 entry" applicant chat thread
    Just to remind you all - this is a NO discussion thread.

    If you want to talk about offers or find out about other people's applications then please use the applicant chat thread rather than this one. The point of having two threads is to keep one free from discussion/clutter as then its easier to find out who has offers
