I suppose I'm waiting until next week. Heard nothing up until now and seeing as there are interviews tomorrow, chances of receiving an offer then are slim.

I find it a little funny how St Andy's were the first uni to get in touch with me about anything after acknowledgement, yet they are the last to send me their decision.

Pretty short with long brown hair, nothing that noticable about me lol. What about you?
I'll probably ask too. Can you imagine how many times they've been asked that? haha!
Not prepared whatsoever! That's the plan for the remainder of tonight and tomorrow morning - i'm not going to bother going into school. Are you having to travel far?


I'm short with medium length hair... Wearing suit pants and a pinky purpley top & Cardi :smile:
I'm from Newcastle so me and my dad are heading off for St.a at 7am in the car, quite nervous because one lad got a rejection and anothergot an offer in my year for St andrews this week D:
nervous times!do you know how many they interview?

Well, I am going to apply for med uni in my country, since I've been preparing for it this past year and then I think I'll try again next year, since I really liked it at St Andrews :biggrin: I'll improve my UKCAT score, since I think that's what let me down, and we'll see how it goes :biggrin: Why did you get neg repped ? :s-smilie: Did Aberdeen give you a response ? :biggrin: Huuugs >:biggrin:<

I don't know why I got neg repped... :s-smilie:

Ahh I see! :biggrin: I do hope that you get in to St Andrews in the end! :smile: But if you come into med school in your country, will you take it and then not go to St Andrews? :/ Did you ask St Andrews for feedback?

Aberdeen still hasn't replied to me either... my track is still the same since 4th of February, but I must say I'm scared everytime I open my e-mail... O.O

Well, I'll just go on with my freshman uni year in my country, and if I get in next year, I'll see how it will work out :biggrin: Maybe I could transfer and not lose a year or maybe I will, who knows ... But it's a year away, so I'll have time to think about it :biggrin: I did, yes ... And they told me to send them a letter at a specific address, and that they will give me feedback when they receive that letter so I guess I have to start writing :wink: I plus repped you, just to make up for the neg one :biggrin: I sure hope you'll get a positive answer from both Aberdeen and St Andrews :biggrin: So then your only problem will be to choose between them :wink:

Probably won't make any difference. I don't think they'll give out any decisions on a weekend...

Firmed St Andrews :P Was the logical choice for me between St Andys and Dundee anyway. Loved ST Andrews when I was there.

Oh god, I'm now in love with St Andrews:love:
My interviewers were lovely! They didn't ask me anything tricky and made me feel at ease when I was all nervy when they asked the first question bless them, how was yours?

Do St.Andrews get their articles from the bbc health news section or are they from the student bmj and bmj magazines or are they completely random??
Reply 1759
can be anything really, last year i had a student bmj one and this year was a bbc health one for me. :P Varies ofc.
