Aberdeen Applicants 2014

Haven't seen a thread for 2014 applicants on here, so thought Id make one.

I am applying to study History next year and I am hoping to get my application sent off in the next few days.

Also applying at Sheffield, Edinburgh, Swansea and Aberystwyth.

I'm thinking about applying for European Studies with French, although I quite like their new course in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Studies. I wonder why so few people on TSR are interested in Aberdeen, it feels a little disconcerting... like they know something I don't? :hmmmm2:

People are put off by the fact that it is quite a trek. 7 hours from London, so people are naturally put off from applying here even though it is a well respected university.

Hey!

This is about the application process...may I please ask when you applied and when you got an offer? I'd like to get a feel about how long Aberdeen usually takes to reply?

Thank you:colondollar:

Heeey well unfortunately they were the last to get back to me haha. I applied early December and they replied late on in April, so certainly not one for early offers if you are not a certain unconditional applicant. Best of luck :smile:
Hola guys :smile: I'm applying for General engineering and I know it's going to be hard to get in considering I'm from EU, so I need lots of luck and a good personal statement :wink:. Anyone know if Aberdeen gives out offers early?

From what I have heard from previous applicants, Aberdeen and possibly Scottish Universities in general are one of the latest to not only respond either way but give offers out too.

Apparently its around February at the earliest but most likely around March time. Don't hold me to that because I am only going by what others have said.

Hopefully not too long! Good luck :smile:

I'm an Aberdeen applicant!!! Wahoooo. What are everybody's AS and predicted A2 grades? My AS grades were AABC and I'm predicted AAAB (already achieved one A!). I'm studying English and Philosophy!

My AS grades where AAAACU (A's in Maths, Further Maths, French and Chemistry, the C was in Physics and the U in General Studies.) and I am predicted A*AAB (Dropped French, and B in Physics.)
Although these grades are way above what Aberdeen are asking for (Applying for Mathematics, they are asking for 3 B's), I really want to go, It looks like a really good uni.
