History offers 2014

Just wondering whether anyone has heard back for history yet as St. Andrews is the last offer I'm waiting for.

Last year a majority of UK students didn't hear back until the very last day of the deadline, and some the days after. You will hear soon though :smile:

Ah okay thanks, I just really want to firm my first choice but still would be nice to see if St Andrews would have accepted me

Wow nice, when did you get your offer? And Edinburgh, is St. Andrews your first choice?

Trust me when I say it would be smarter to firm St Andrews over Edinburgh, from an academic point of view!

Only yesterday :smile: And Edinburgh is the only one I'm still waiting on! And yes, I think it's my first. Still have a couple of other uni's to visit but I think my heart is pretty much set on St A's.

Not from world league table perspectives. Edinburgh has always been my first choice, and whilst I realise St. Andrews is a very respected uni, it has a few things which put me off.

Would you say there's really that much between them? I am deciding between St Andrews/Edinburgh/possibly UCL, and I would say I'm more inclined to Edinburgh because of the location - I'd rather study in a city (though not too big) than a small town like St Andrews (also Durham before they rejected me too - soz was having a wee sneaky look at your sig :tongue:).

Academics are subjective too… just because it has a good academic reputation doesn't mean it's right for everyone academically :P

You should pick wherever you feel most comfortable/most want to go, regardless of academic rankings :smile:
