Does invite to an applicant day means I have a chance of getting an offer?

Aberdeen is a very good university. I've lived near Aberdeen my whole life though and really hope to go somewhere different : D

Which are your choices? :-)

I'm just a bit worried it's miles away from anywhere and there might not be much going on!

I have an offer from Petroleum Engineering , I am from England(;

Just wandering what Aberdeen is like? If anyone knows what the course is like and whether there is a strong link with the industry?

I've applied to Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews. I'd be really happy to go to any of those unis but havent heard back from any of them yet. How about you? :smile:

Is small enough to ensure a sense of community, large enough to have plenty to do. It is colder up here so warm sweaters. There are some beautiful beaches in the vicinity and close enough to Royal Deeside and Cairngorms for those who enjoy challenging outdoor activities. Petroleum Engineering has very close links to the industry. It isn't a coincidence that Aberdeen Uni is one of the foremost universities for this subject. Good luck with your course. I don't think you will regret firming Aberdeen. Just remember the warm clothes!

I haven't seen translation in Aberdeen, what languages you've chosen? I applied for German and Hispanic studies, still nothing

I got a conditional offer from Aberdeen, Bristol and KCL, still waiting for Edinburgh and Dundee though. My first choiche is Edinburgh, otherwise I'd go for Aberdeen since I wouldn't pay fees (I'm an international student) :-)

According to the stats 66% of undergraduates at Aberdeen are international students. Is this a good or bad thing? While these figures suggest Aberdeen is not guilty of parochialism, does this bode ill for many potential home students?
