St Andrews Hopefuls 2017

How long does it take for offers to be made? I have applied for BSc Economics a month ago and still haven't heard from St Andrews. I'm so worried!

Are you international?

No, I'm from the EU.

Unfortunately, St Andrews really does take its time to hand out offers or rejections, especially to applicants paying no fees (Home and EU). So be prepared to wait until February ot March :/

Where are u from?

Oh, this is now really worrying me. I have only just sent off my application, and it's still being processed by my college, which means it hasn't been officially sent off yet. I'm applying for philosophy and psychology. Anyone else applying for those courses? Anyone know the estimated time it takes to receive an offer? Thanks

English (kind of) applicant here. I applied on like the 14th of October and I've been on "pending decision" since the 13ths of November. I think I won't be hearing anything again until January-March. (I'm applying for philosophy too)

Hi. I've applied for Psychology (application received 16th November) and haven't heard anything from St. Andrews. Received offers s from all 4 of my other choices, but am yet to find a 'home' Psychology applicant who's heard!!

Ah, that's not good. I would really like to hear a decision before then to decide whether I'm going to go for UCAS extra or something instead, as St. Andrews is my top choice.

Awhh don't worry about it! I'm sure you'll hear soon I applied for straight History as I'm not quite sure which area I want to focus on completely, just yet.

To be honest I wasn't expecting an offer either! I was eating my breakfast and just casually checked track, my eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw "3/5 decisions" rather than "2/5" haha.

Heya! Sorry I am joining rather late, but what grades were you applying with? Sorry if that is a bit nosy.

Heya welcome

No not at all, don't be silly.

GCSE: 6A* 6A
AS: A in Economics, A in Geography, B in English Literature and a C in History
( I mucked one paper up somehow-gonna resit)
A2 predictions: A* Geography, A history, A Economics and an A* in Welsh Baccalaureate. St A take Welsh Bac as an equivelant to an A level. So A*A*AA.

I hope this is of help

This is helpful! I have applied for History as well. Not sure if I am going to get an offer. My GCSEs are 2A* 7As 2Bs. And an A in AS Econ, A in History, and a B in English Lit. I guess we'll see!

Haha no worries about it!

We have fairly similar grades! I've heard that they are quite big on the personal statement being academic?

If you look on the school of history website they say what they use to decide

When did you apply?

English lit was the bane of my life! I really enjoyed it but didn't finish the books until a matter of days before the exam :/

I applied around the 22nd of October (not quite sure). My teachers thought my PS was good but I dunno!
I had the worst teacher last year for EngLit, and my class is tiny, but it's alright this year!
Where else did you apply?? 😀

Oh okay I applied right at the end of September I think something like the 29th.

I'm sure it was!

Oooh wow really? There were 15ish in mine, 3 boys and we all had Bs. Most people got Ds lol.

Bristol
Birmingham
UCL and Oxford but I was rejected from there
