2016 University of Edinburgh Hopefuls

Just got an unconditional offer from Edinburgh to study linguistics!!

Just got an unconditional offer from Edinburgh to study linguistics!!

Congratulations! Are you Scottish?
That's so quick.

Oh god I'm so jealous! I'm applying for the same course and have yet to hear from them other than an acknowledgement. I assume you've taken your qualifications yet, am I right?

Wow another linguistics applicant (we're pretty rare in this forum you know)

And yes you're correct - I already have my A-level results. That coupled with the fact that I am an international applicant is probably why I got my offer so quickly.

Where else are you applying to?

I know, only saw one other aspiring linguist besides you around here ^^ oh, makes sense then. My other choices are Cambridge, UCL, York and Newcastle; Edinburgh is probably going to be my first choice if they make me an offer. What about you? Planning to accept Edinburgh? Maybe we'll see each other next year, who knows!

I would've reported you for identity theft if not for the Cambridge application! I applied to UCL and Newcastle as well, but for my "ambitious choice" I opted for Oxford instead.

Yeah it's likely I am going to accept the Edinburgh offer, but let's keep in touch to see how things turn out for us. Send me a message when you get the offer from Edinburgh.

good luck!

If my profile pic doesn't give it away, I am an international applicant from Hong Kong haha

But I heard they give offers to int. and scottish students first so maybe that's why

Anyone else applying with Norwegian grades? I got 5,4 in high school, so it should be good enough, but it's been years since I finished high school so it feels weird that those grades still matter. Also got a 6 in International English, and I've read that it covers the English language requirement, but does it matter how long ago it is since I finished the course?

I am! Got 5,4 average as well. Where else are you applying? And to what programs? I only just finished though, so I'm not sure if it matters how long it was since you got the grades.

Great! I think our chances are good with these grades
I'm only applying to UoE and Celtic Studies (maybe with linguistics or Scandinavian studies). I'm already here as an exchange student at the moment and I 'm absolutely loving it. I really don't think I'd like to study anything else at the moment than Celtic at UoE. If I don't get in, I'll just go back to Norway and finish my degree and try again next year.

I'm feeling positive though. There are a lot of Norwegian students here and I know it's easier for Norwegians to get in than other Europeans (tuition fees).

What are you applying to?

I've applied for Biochemistry at UoE, Imperial, UCL, Oxford and St. Andrews. I'm also applying to MIT in the states.. I'm really insecure about my grades though, so its comforting to know you're positive!

Honestly, I feel am being waay too ambitious applying to these schools, but hopefully not all will reject me!

Hi! I'm from the states and I'm applying for International Relations and Economics/Politics, I applied right when the UCAS opened (15 September)
