    I applied for Edinburgh and St Andrews (both of which I really liked, though I got rejected by the latter), UEA (didn't like as much but I really like Norwich, though I wish I'd applied for English and American literature instead) and Durham (don't like at all but my application was rushed and I liked that they are also collegiate, wanted to apply to Glasgow but my teachers wouldn't let me apply for 3 Scottish universities aha)

    because they're insane... they told me that cause the school hasn't had a very high success rate with Scottish universities in the past that it was too risky to apply for 3 and made me apply for Durham instead.
