congrats! what were ur predicted?

I do not take A-Levels, IB, or APs, as I follow the curriculum of my country, but if it were translated into the normal A-Level equivalent of three A-Levels, it would probably be 3A*. I take Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, and Biology & Chemistry, alongside other subjects, but all sciences (except for Physics which was an A) were A*.

Has anyone heard back for history?


This is what I’m waiting for! I’ve applied for history and international relations, do you know what the likelihood of acceptance is? Let me know when you hear back !

Are you home or international? As I'm an international student, I should probably hear out before, but I haven't received anything yet. I got two offers earlier this month, but nothing from St.Andrews. I'm starting to get a bit worried :frown:

I’m from England so home, I wouldn’t worry too much we aren’t expected to get our responses until March/April

Does that also apply to international students? I thought internationals usually receive offers before home students. You're fine, though, as they only send out offers for most home students after January. Good luck :smile:

I'm Portuguese. However, if given, my offer will have to be conditional because I still have to send my final high school diploma (corresponds to a-levels) and CAE results to meet the English language and proficiency requirements (so far, offers have been unconditional).
Yep, I'm quite excited too. What are your other options? Have you received any offers?

Has anyone received a decision yet? Or does anyone know when we might? I'm an international applicant.

I've received two offers so far- Durham and Edinburgh.
Do you know what different subjects you'll have in international relations? I also really like international relations, but I ended up not applying for the joint honours course. I think I just prefer history :smile:

I’m not too confident… the HAT went really badly. Why do you think you got rejected?
