I'll be 19 when I go, so I guess then I'll be two years older than them :redface:

Some can go at 17 after fifth year but most people coming straight from school are more likely to be 18 and leaving after sixth year.

Don't worry about being a year older at all, my sister just graduated from Glasgow Uni in Scotland and says only about 1/3 of students are 17 when they go to Uni. Remember, lots of English students also go to Scottish unis, as well as foreign students such as yourself, and most of them will be 18.

Also I can't even imagine moving to a whole new country half way across the world at this age, so kudos to you for such a leap!!

George, why is Aberdeen your top choice when other unversities ranked higher require the same A level entry requirements?

Such as Southampton (Rank 5) and Exeter (Rank 8) require ABB, compared to Aberdeen (Rank 15).
Name: Vicky
Location: Scottish Highlands
Course: Philosophy
Grades: 5th year - AABB, 6th year (Predicted) - AA (B at AH)

I meet the entry requirements for Aberdeen and it's my top choice but I'm so worried I won't get an offer. I'm pretty sure they don't give any out until after the January 15th deadline :bored:
