Official University of Edinburgh Offer Holders Thread for 2024 entry

Hii got an offer for CS & physics last week, anyone the same?

I got an offer for physics on friday! I already have an A* in Maths and just need AA in Further Maths and Physics this year (I also take RS but it's not really necessary so may drop it). I'm currently really torn between ucl and edinburgh though bc I got offers from both. But I'm visiting edinburgh for the first time ever (well, scotland for the first time) for the offer holder events.

aahh congrats so exciting! i live in glasgow so have been to edinburgh a good few times. it is lovely! might see you at an offer holder event

Can you give me a rough picture of what it is like in Edinburgh? The city, student life, buildings and general vibe etc. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Open Day due to problems getting there (I live in Yorkshire). I have an offer for CS, but I'm unsure as to whether I will be able to make the offer holder event or not and they are yet to release a date for the event which makes me even more unsure about things.

I’m a first year student studying informatics. I’ve mostly been in kings campus for lectures, but around once a week I have a computing workshop in Appleton. The city is great, lots of different places to go during the day, and at night Cowgate is pretty lively if that’s your thing. Lots of nice places to eat as well. Unless you get a good location for your accommodation, you will probably have to spend a fair bit of time on the bus (though I’m in beaverbank so might just be personal), but it’s free so not too bad. All the buildings in kings are pretty modern, and so is Appleton Tower. Anyway I’m enjoying the city a lot.

That's nice to hear! The city sounds nice and I really appreciate you taking your time to describe it. As for the transportation, I don't mind that one bit!

I have an offer from Imperial for Computer Science. I'm trying to decide which uni I should make my insurance choice since I have made the choice to firm Imperial (most competitive CS course in the UK. 5% acceptance rate and I really liked it while I was there both for my interview and the Open Day. Given that I have invested my time and energy into the Imperial process, it is undoubtedly my firm choice).

My insurance options are either Durham, Edinburgh and Manchester. I haven't heard back from Durham yet but if I do hear back from them and get an offer, I want to be in a good place so that I can submit my choices as soon as I can so I am trying to make a decision now.

I went to the Durham Open Day and the facility was great but the town was extremely quiet. There wasn't really that much to do there.

My friend went to the Manchester Open Day (he also applied for Computer Science) and he said that it was really great in every way (industry connections, facilities, course content) but it's quite a high A level conditional requirement (3 A*s).

Hi! I received an offer from Edinburgh last week but I haven’t received a welcome email or any information about an offer holder event, do you think I should be worried?

I haven’t either! i heard it should be between February and April though

It's February

how do you know? did u get an email

Yes....I got my offer in October two weeks after sending off my application.

you got an email saying the dates? How long after they accepted u

In case you are unable to see the screenshot, I will type out the relevant bits of the email below:

"As an offer holder, we will keep in regular contact with you via email.

At the start of February, you'll be given access to your dedicated Applicant website. Here you'll find all the information you need about your offer, your subject area and student life at Edinburgh.

We will also open bookings for online and on-campus events for offer holders in February.

Our on-campus Offer Holder Visit Days will take place on Friday 12th April and Friday 26th April so make sure you save the date!"

this is a direct quote. I got the email two weeks after receiving the offer. If you log in to EUCLID and see that you have received a message congratulating you on your offer, you shouldn't be worried about whether you need to be sent stuff.

It's Christmas and how that means it's a couple of weeks off from school for you, it is the same for the universities, if not longer. Some universities break up early but continue working to a later date (Imperial for instance closed its offices today and comes back on the 2nd of Jan so there is a lot of commitment).

Have a nice Christmas and try not to stress too much! If it comes, it comes. If not, you have done your bit - let them do theirs.
