St Andrews Applicants for 2014 Entry

Scroll to see replies

Got an unconditional offer this morning for English! I'm a US applicant, so St Andrews is my backup, but it's still nice after my rejection from Oxford.

University of St Andrews

Ahh, cool! Bit of a trek for you to get there then!? I can't wait to visit it, it looks gorgeous from the photos I've seen :smile:

I think I've put first year entry on my application but I guess I'll probably ask to switch at some point before starting ;p

I've already done my A-levels, finished them in June this year - got A*A*A* (physics/maths/chem) and two As at AS (biology/EPQ). What about you?

I've got my A* in Maths, predicted A*A*AA in Physics, Economics, FM and Chem respectively. I really want to do some languages, so I'll probably start from the first year to do the lang modules. Where else have you applied?

Just got my offer in Management today SO PUMPED! It's a strange coincidence cause I also got an offer from Edinburgh today. For anyone else applying to Management, here are my stats:

No AS certificate.
A2 Predictions: A*A*Aa

word of advice, don't do second year entry. It's much harder and all my friends doing it have reallllly struggled this year. That was for chem though.

I think the incentive is because UK students have to pay, they try and keep it cheap. But let's be honest, I'm never going to pay off the 50 grand of debt, so you might as well rack it up and enjoy yourself!

I didn't get a GCSE in German because I got sick and had to just do sciences/English/maths GCSEs. Quite inconvenient, given that I really enjoyed languages. So I suppose I want to rectify that situation - however belatedly.

1st Feb, since I was far too excited about it to go for anything but the first one. Also, I thought I might as well go as early as possible in case they only give out decisions after you've attended (despite it not being an interview). What about you?

Aww, I know how that feels :frown:

I was ill during my AS and A2 years. I think I'm going to go for the 1st Feb one too! :smile:

*Rejection today from Medicine A100 course*
Undergrad applicant (Gap-year applicant)...
A-Levels ACHIEVED: A*A*A*(bio,chem and mathematics)
AS-Levels: abbb(+Physics AS)
GCSEs: 4A*s,1A, 3 Dist*s
UKCAT: 740 Band 2

Absolutely gob-smacked...

Anyone know why I was rejected?... considering my application is very strong?

Thank you.

Your application is very strong, especially your A Level grades. At a guess I would say that it was probably your GCSEs because I think some universities look for people to have a certain number of A*s at GCSE for medicine. Don't worry you still have four other choices and with your grades I'm sure you'll get lots of other offers! :biggrin:
