Are you EU/Scot? if not then 38 points is most likely ok!


I'm an EU student, so probably I don't have a chance :smile:

It is a good result compared to my IB school's average (around 31-32), with the best results ever being 41 and 43 points in my school. But probably not good enough for StA.

Have faith! No news is good news! :smile:
I'm a French and IR applicant and haven't heard anything yet! Portal says my application is in the Languages department but it has been pending for so long I don't know whether or not it's been through the IR department yet - EU student too so waiting is so long and terrifying... Good luck!
I just can't imagine that they'll kick us out just because we're EU... If they are satisfied with our grades and like our personal statements, why should they decline us? It is always good to have students from different places in order to have a great mixture of cultures :smile:

It just takes a bit longer for them to assess us, maybe they don't now much about our school system and therefore it is hard to compare the applicants. I am also absolutly confused by the bavarian school system :biggrin:

I'm sure they'd like to admit more EU/Scottish students but since the number of students they can admit from this pool is strictly limited by the government it is likely that many of us will be 'kicked' out of the selection process despite having great qualifications, personal statements and extra curricular activities etc :/

RUK means "rest of the UK" in Scottish admissions speak :tongue: but I guess it is used in other places as well
