Edinburgh
I've already sent the letter. Well, I know the reason for their rejection was the fact that I do not have an A-Level in German but I am from Romania and I don't have the option to choose German as a subject for our leaving examinations although I've been studying it as a school subject for 8 years, taking part in German competitions, the Olympiad, extracurricular activities involving my DE language skills, and so on and so forth. I just don't understand why the simple lack of a formal qualification could stand in the way to my admission (I'm going to take the Goethe Zertifikat C1 next month, but it seems not to be enough), that is why I appealed. After all, it is not my fault that I can't take the official exam, although I do have the skills. Well, sorry for the long whiny post.
Edinburgh's reason for rejection makes me nervous for what St Andrews are going to do next... Given that my top two options have said no, ST And's is next in the row, and Manchester would be great, but it's way too expensive...
Hehe, ikr, it seems so exciting, and I've found out during my Cam interviews that there are way more connections between the Arab world and Russian than I could've thought of. Ab initio, hence the "killer" side of it. I do know some Russian words and isolated phrases, but that's all.
