I have an unconditional for psychology at Glasgow, soooo happy as I only got A*A D (with special circumstances though). Can't believe they want me!!

I am pretty positive you'll get in - unless your personal statement is really bad which I doubt it is. If I got in then anyone can I reckon. Good luck! :smile:

I have received a conditional for glasgow, also for strathclyde and cali. so decision time - Glasgow is my main choice I think as it gets good feeback re psychology dept. There is also an applicant day on 27th March that would be very informative.

Waiting for a second reply. Glasgow Uni e-mailed me and said my grades were enough to compete for a spot, but not to offer me an unconditional straight away. So I have to wait until "mid March" for a response. Nervous as hell. I really want to study Psych at Glasgow :smile:

Otherwise, it's English Language for me! But what'ya gonna do with an English degree, right? :wink:

Can I ask you how you contacted them? They don't seem to respond e-mails, did you call? Also who did you contact? I'm finding that a little confusing.

Man, I am so jealous. I just got rejected by Glasgow (Psychology) today. Really depressed. Still have my English Language tho, but I'd muuuuch rather study Psychology for 4 years. FML
Hi all... curious to know which of Glasgow's Psychology course codes people have been accepted under? I applied for all 3 (C800, C801 and C802) but got rejections (no reason given) for 800 and 802. Still nervously waiting for a response from the C801 Psych course... anyone in the same boat?

Unlike (I expect) most of you guys I'm a mature applicant (I have better than the listed higher requirements, but I did mine in 1998, so I don't know if they count anymore!) - not sure if this affects the order they deal with applications or not?
