Thanks and should I be aiming to get A's or B's in the past paper questions I do? And also I take physics, chemistry at higher too which are 3 of my 5 highers and wanted advice on how to study to achieve A's in them? Once again many thanks for your helpful advice

I am only in S5 so will apply over the summer. Congrats on the offers. What were your applications and to who (apart from mentioned ones)?

I applied to economics - Glasgow (BB)
Mathematics Glasgow (B in maths)
Microbiology Strathclyde
Economics & Mathematics & Statistics - strathclyde
Business law strathclyde

I haven't got back anything from strathclyde just yet, but il let you know what I do get

Mate how did you write your personal statement for microbiology lol?

I didn't I just took a chance, all my personal statement was about business and the final line was about maths. So I have no idea how I got into maths 😂. What are you applying to ?

Haha that's funny, well done though! Would be funnier if you got offer for microbiology as well haha, what's your top choice? I applied to medicine so my personal statement was basically all about medicine :P

To be honest I don't really know. I guess economics is the most secure one to go with, as it opens doors to many opportunities (with a very decent salary) but then doing microbiology/immunology would be more challenging, I think, and a tad more interesting. But I really like business and I did really well and won prizes for the subject and all sorts, but I'm kind of stuck between the two. Il guess il have to actually get a decision from the biology course to know what's happening.

Yeah tbh if you're good at business you should probably stick with business But hey, your choice!

Yeah I guess, there was a biology with management course at Edinburgh and when I found out I was so annoyed, I really wanted to apply but I can't commute..

The degree structure at pretty much all Scottish unis allows you to take a number of "outside courses" in the early years. You could easily combine biology and business stuff.

has anyone got their maths prelim result yet?!

has anyone got their maths prelim result yet?!

Got my maths result back, I got a B and made some mistakes.

I got 74% which I guess is a good morale booster but by no means is good enough for a final exam A. Lots more work still needed!!!

Wait 70% is an A.. Is it not.. Unless you're school do it differently but they can't really adjust the grade boundaries however suits them, unless it was easy so they made it 75% for an A. But my school doesn't adjust them.

50% C
60% B
70% A
?

Well done though !
