Dundee and St Andrews university

You don't mention the course, but regardless, if you think you can make the offer for St Andrews grade wise, then that's definitely far more prestigious and better recognised than Dundee.
Depending on the other unis you applied to and the various offers you got, you may want to firm St A and have Dundee as insurance?

I lied i dont actually have an offer from St Andrews i just wanted to see what people would say regardeless, im upset because my friends got in and i got rejected everywhere when i am so capable of doing well at that uni. Idk if its worth trying to get in through clearing or just firming Dundee because right now i only have 3 As and a B bc of my mental health last year but this year iv already gotten 3 As at higher and another A in an adv higher so proving i am very much capable. It sucks that i didnt show my potential the year that mattered.

Ah, yeah, that sucks. If you are really sure you can do the extra push to get to St A offer level, would taking a gap year and reapplying with your actual grades be an option? Both my daughters waited to have their grades to know where they could and couldn't apply. The eldest didn't get the A* needed for Cambridge so applied and got into St Andrews, the youngest did get her A* applied and got into Oxford.
It may not work for everyone but it certainly massively reduced the stress for them.

That’s great for your daughters, they seem very smart. I guess it’s just the frustration of not going in with all of my friends, i wish I could just go in this year and not be so far behind. Ill look into clearing or im not really sure what else

Iv gotten offers from both Dundee and St Andrews, I’m not sure what to choose because Dundee seems like fun but not as ‘good’ and like well recognised and affiliated than St Andrews. Any comments on experiences in universities and which one i should choose? Please help I feel lost

Hey I don't have any personal experience with your courses but what I'd say is look at your module options, from what I've heard St A psych modules aren't for everyone.

St A nightlife is quite restricted as it's a very small town - it suits me tbf, although Dundee is a 25 minute bus journey so its not too much of an issue.

Is there anything you are looking for specifically?

I just wanted to hear that Dundee is just as good as St Andrews, tho i know its not i have to go to Dundee and dont want to feel so bummed anymore about my friends all going St Andrews and me being stuck in a worse uni
