Edinburgh Postgraduate Application Thread 2021

Congratulations on your offer!! Around when did you send in your application?

Thank you I had difficulty on my side the portal seems down for a few days, only managed to submit my application at the last hour, for 1st Feb deadline.

Hi. I am applying for LLM at Edinburgh. Has anyone already got offers?! The wait is killing me 😌

I have applied as well! One of the application deadlines was mid Feb, and the places are awarded at the end of this month. Haven't heard anything back yet I just keep checking the tracker haha. Are you expecting to hear back at the same time? Good luck!

I had applied for the Human Rights LLM in the last week of December and haven't heard anything back yet. The program info tells me I should hear back by 31st March so just trying to be patient. But I too keep checking the tracker every 15 mins. It's pure torture. Which LLM have you applied for? All the best to you!

I'm getting slightly worried about my application - I applied 12th Feb and about 10 days later I had to provide a different transcript for my undergraduate which took ages with my current institution's admin office. I've now sent over an approved copy of my transcript via email via my current course administrator and have received no response. EUCLID still says I have to submit a document and if it isn't submitted in a weeks time (march 23rd) my application will be terminated. It's been 5 working days since I sent the email and I asked if they'd confirm they received my transcript but I've heard nothing and I'm really not sure what to do. I cant upload my transcript to EUCLID as they specifically asked to receive it from my current course administrator so I'm at a loss with what i'm meant to do, I really dont want my application terminated because Edinburgh is my first choice

Hey all, I'm an offer holder for a PhD in English and wondering if anyone has heard back from the university scholarship competitions? I applied through the portal and my applications still say Pending but it's now been over a month...

I have emailed in the past and it does take some time. Have you tried calling your admissions office? You can find their contact details here - https://www.ed.ac.uk/student-systems/support-guidance/applicants/ucas-app-help/university-of-edinburgh-admissions-offices

There are also details for general enquiries who may be able to pass you to the correct person - https://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/contacts
Hope you manage to sort it out!

Applied to MSc Economics, my status changed to 'on hold'. Does that mean I'm wait listed?

Thank u so much for ur reply! I have tried to phone my admissions office but theyre out of office and only replying by email (according to their voicemail.) Ive emailed again but no reply. I wouldnt be so concerned if there was a deadline for my application being terminated!! I wish i could get hold of someone....anyone..

Did you apply recently? This happened to my application, but that was because more documents/evidence were required before the application could be submitted for review. If this is the case, then when you open your application it should have some information on what else you need to submit.

Or it could be something else. If your application is on a waiting list then I think you should be formal;ly notified as that would be a decision made by the uni. There is a question on the student support page about being on hold - https://www.ed.ac.uk/student-systems/support-guidance/applicants/post-online-application-help/application-status.
