Has anyone received an offer form St Andrews Uni?

I am an St Andrews applicant and I want to know if anyone who applied for the same uni has received an offer so far.

Same even ive applied for Bsc psychology but still haven't got a reply.
Guys do you know if St andrews looks at extra curricular activities aswell. I'm worried that I got a B grade in GCSE maths (I studied in india so have different exams but equivent to our a-levels). I recently got a reply from royal holloway saying they rejected me in quite worried if St andrews does. Do you think they might not.

I guess they do. I know that Scottish universities usually respect the 15th of January and don t open the applications before that date. Still, I am worried about their answer. Have you applied to more unis?

I've applied to UCL, Duram, Bath, Royal Holloway and St Andrews.
As I've posted before in a few threads:

You probably won't hear back from St Andrews until quite late, because someone actually sits down and reads all the personal statements and that takes time! Quite a lot of other unis just have an automatic offer criteria based on grades so you hear back from those sooner.

StA try to get back to everyone by the end of March.

This week the StA applicant thread has seen a surge of people getting offers. They are handing out offers, they're just not as fast as other universities.

EDIT: Current StA applicants thread can be found here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2804249&page=54&p=53439097#post53439097
You can see here who has offers and who is waiting (like me!)

My daughter has applied for Biology and St Andrews is the last uni to reply . She has offers already from Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Newcastle. Have any Biology offers gone out does anyone know? Should explain she is volunteering in Nepal, so I'm the one getting OCD over checking her email while she can't. Only get to speak once a week and I keep hoping for good news to give her.
Good luck everyone, the waiting is nail biting!!

Oh wow volunteering in Nepal that's amazing. I hope she gets an offer from St. Andrews. My best wishes are with her.
Wouldn't worry about it, they're known for getting back to you late. I ended up getting my offer in April when I applied.
Saw your post in the other thread. I am in the same boat as you, with a daughter volunteering in Nepal too, and me checking her emails and UCAS track.

She has already got all her other offers, UCL, KCL, Edinburgh and Nottingham, but St Andrews are taking their time! Driving me nuts although she seems quite philosophical about it... Could be the zen attitude over there :smile:

Whereabouts is your daughter and what is she volunteering in?

Actually Scottish unis have no fee for EU student, so this would make a big difference for us (French national) and she wasn't that impressed with UCL (the feel of the place) or the idea of living in London generally (very expensive for a start). The course itself was also too biology focused with little to no psychology, which she was keen on as she might end up going towards neuropsychiatry.

So all in all, St Andrews might be a better fit for her. We'll see if/when she gets an offer!

I really do hope. They give me an offer and that too soon. I'm going crazy checking my Ucas track. Quite scared now.
