Do you know if it would be possible to switch to 2nd year entry then if I do get the offer? I will be 19 by the time I get there and I will have finished A2 D:

I literally chose direct entry in advising, the week before the start of teaching. I don't think you can apply for direct entry, instead you sort it out when you get there, but you'd have to check with your department first to be sure.

Just want to say good luck to everyone waiting to hear back! I got an unconditional for French and Spanish yesterday, hoping that I'll see some of you in September!

Thank you! Some people on TSR just informed me that it may be possible that my first course choice was full or my grades were not high enough so they just offered me an alternative course instead to lure me into going to st andrews so I can't change the course. Do you think this is actually true?

I think what 06porterr was meaning is that you don't have to change course as such. In the module system in St Andrews, in your first year you will be required to do modules in three subjects. One will be management and you can take up two others in other subjects you like as long as there are no timetable clashes and you meet the minimum grade requirements. My son was admitted for philosophy, took up IR and history alongside, dropped philosophy after year one and went on to get a degree in history. No questions asked, no awkward conversations about changing degree - it's just normal. Indeed, the breadth and flexibility of the Scottish system is a key attraction for many students. But you may want to check with admissions.

Sure. 4A's at AS level in maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. My UMS was mentioned in my reference (96.2% across 7 maths modules, 97.3% in chemistry, 93.2% in physics, lost all my marks on the practical lol)
I was predicted 3A*'s at A2. I dropped chemistry after AS.
