Still waiting and waiting and waiting and then some more waiting. Heard back from other four but really am still hoping for the offer from Edinburgh.
It is really the program I like the most.

Congrats to all who got an offer already and good luck to all still waiting.

Still waiting on Edinburgh, last one and doing IB Mock Exams. I really hope it will be a positive outcome.

I've applied for International Relations, but haven't heard anything yet... I applied quite late though! (On the 15th of Jan actually.)

You're too sweet, thank you! Yeah it'll be no time, they've only just started giving the Edinburgh offers out for Scotland/EU

Has anyone received lower than A*AA (a level) out of interest??

I'm a Scottish student with ABBB and I got an unconditional offer on Monday! I'm entitled to widening access, though, so I get max entry requirements of AABBB, plus I have quite extensive volunteering relating to IR & IL so that probably helped me out quite a bit.

(I sent my application on Dec 14th)

What is the widening access thing that you have, I something called "Leaps" but I'm not sure it's the same thing!

Basically if you are either
A) In a postcode that's in the bottom 40% of Scottish income/deprivation
or
B) Attend a target school that doesn't have a lot of students getting into uni
or
C) You've been in care at any point

then your max. entry requirements are AABBB, but obviously if the uni asks for less than that usually (eg. UWS) then you'd just have those entry requirements. So instead of needing AAAAA for Edinburgh I just need AABBB. I'm under A, there's a thing we have where you look up your postcode and it's divided into Quintiles-levels of deprivation. Quintiles 1 & 2 are the bottom 40%-and if you live in Quintile 1 then your bursary also goes up from £2000 to £3000 at Edinburgh !!
