Sorry if this has already been asked, but is it the case that Edinburgh aren't giving out any offers until January 15th?

Depends on where you're from, but I'm afraid if you're Home/EU, you'll have to wait until the deadline for universities to give us offers, that is March

Do you know if the grade requirements tend to be the same or lower/higher to EU students than for overseas students?

I'm applying to Arabic&Religious studies, which has typical offer for IB 36 points. I got 38 points (HL 666) but I'm a bit afraid that my application is not good enough for the course..

Hi all, just a quick question so I know what to expect.
I'm applying for Economics and Politics (I'm an EU student). I am meeting the typical entry requirement with my predicted grades and I already hold an offer from Glasgow Uni. Can I reasonably expect to get an offer from Edinburgh too?

Does anybody know whether Edinburgh teach simplified or traditional Chinese symbols in their Chinese Studies course?

I'm also applying for economics and politics! I know Glasgow are pretty generous with their offers like just handing them out if you've got grades not reading statements etc. I think Edinburgh get so many people who meet the typical offer already that the statement may become more important. However that's nothing to suggest you won't get an offer just as long as you have a strong statement! For EU/Scotland students we will be waiting a long time though!

any vet hopefuls?

5A's at Higher. Predicted 3A's.

They probably do them in batches anyway, so don't worry. It's still very early

So does this mean they've started processing Scottish/EU applicants?
