Hello there! :P

Well I have applied for law in the university of Aberdeen,Oxford,Durham and Edinburgh
but I am not sure of the selection process as I got 89% in my class 10th and my predicted grades are 93% in 12th
and the most amazing fact is that pursued science till 12th while I had to study law which I definitely think they will find weird along with the fact that I am an international student I really don't know how my selection process would go.
And yes I have received an acknowledgement letter

I have to take all subjects (including things like geography, history, biology etc) all the way through high school. Since the relevant subjects for electrical&electronic engineering are more difficult than the humanities, it will be weird for the admissions officer to see higher grades in History than in Maths lol :')

I'm applying for molecular biology with a year in industry! I'm applying to Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, Heriot-Watt and St. Andrews as well.
I haven't sent my application off but I'm kinda scared because I've only sat 3 Highers so far :-) I think I'm still in a good place to get a conditional but we'll have to see - haven't sent my UCAS off yet though!

No point in being scared :smile: Good luck!
I am applying through IB for Psychology. I will also apply to St. Andrews, Stirling and possibly Dundee. I'm still looking for my 5th option :frown:
Did anyone get any offer from Aberdeen ?
I got mine from Sheffield and Edinburgh whereas I have been allocated a college by oxford but Aberdeen has not given any update since last month ?
Anyone here apply for chemical engineering?

I received an unconditional offer as an international student for Economics and Mathematics on Oct 31 and was formally notified of being a North American scholarship recipient yesterday :smile:

Anyone got offers yet

I did get one for electrical and electronic engineering. According to https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=6177978, Aberdeen has only made 4 offers that we on TSR know of (including mine)
I got an unconditional for history/pol today! I applied on Wednesday with AAAAA in my highers. They were so quick I was really surprised.
I just received my acknowledgment email. I applied on the13th of November and they told me that they sent my acknowledgment mail back on the 14th of November but I hadn't received anything.
I am still waiting for an offer for psychology MA after 12 days:frown:

I know it's not that much but I'm getting anxious after seeing all these people receiving offers after 3 days or so :s-smilie:
