Official University of Edinburgh Applicant Thread for 2024

Got an offer for biochem!! 🙏

Im a UK student so RUK and I applied on 16th October cuz I also applied to med schools 😊

Congrats and good luck for your med choices !! if you don't mind, did they send any confirmation of fee status before the offer ?

Nice going! I too sent my application in 4 weeks ago and got an offer from Edinburgh 10 days ago to study Computer Science. I am a England student with 4 A-levels predicted 4 A*s and also an A* in EPQ.

I think different departments take different amounts of time and my school somehow found out without me telling them and they were telling me it is extremely rare for them to send an offer out this early. In previous years, people at my school who applied for competitive courses here, like medicine for example, didn't receive offers till January.

i’ve applied for a couple of different courses within the realm of linguistics and anthropology (very different courses but maybe i’ll see you somewhere next year!)

i got an offer for linguistics at york too!! stressed that edi take so long to reply. apparently it can be up until the 18th may

ive been trying to find any evidence of different faculties being faster (as in whether linguistics are likely to give offers faster than others or not) but i can’t find anything! i’ve now had offers from leeds and manchester too, but it’s very frustrating having two notoriously late unis as my top two choices! (durham and edi)

a lot of the people i know that are receiving loads of offers are STEM based subjects. i think humanities generally take longer, no matter the uni for some reason. i've had offers from cardiff, york, and manchester but still waiting on edinburgh. the only offers for edi or durham ive seen so far are definitely not for linguistics/english-y subjects

Hi, sorry if this has already been asked - but is there an offers spreadsheet for Edi? I can't see one

Hi there,

Welcome to the official University of Edinburgh Applicant Thread for 2024! Here, you have the opportunity to meet and chat with fellow applicants and ask any questions you want regarding applying to University of Edinburgh.

Below are some icebreaker questions to help you get started:

“What course are you applying for?”
“Will you be attending any Open Days?”
“How are you feeling about starting University?”

Get involved in more conversations by visiting our directory here and join in with the Yr 13 Chat thread here.

Good luck and happy posting!

me too are you a Scottish applicant?

Got an offer for 2nd year entry maths yesterday, Over the moon!

what was your offer?

I applied for first year entry maths, and they offered me A*A*A as the conditions, which is higher than the standard offer for first year entry (even though I go to a state school)

Edinburgh uni entry requirements are the grades you need in order to be considered for entry. They are not an indication of the offer you might be given. Their website explains this:
