Hi everyone!
I thought to create a thread for all us St Andrews applicants out there so we can find people applying for our same course, and just discuss about how great St Andrews is!
Just write what you are applying for and anything about yourself
I'll start: I am applying for Social Anthropology MA, I got ABBB in my AS-Levels, and I am interested in debating, MUN, charity work (my school's InterACT club President) and reading ANYTHING
Get posting!

Hello! I'm Maddy and I'm applying for psychology. I got my highers this year but I'm one grade short of the AAAB requirement so everything is sort of hanging on this year.
I think I'm also going to apply to Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt (or Sterling instead of Heriot). :P

I hope you'll still have a chance to apply to St Andrews!I am assuming you are Scottish? Have you been to the Aberdeen open day? If yes, how did you find the university? Unfortunately I will not have a chance to visit so I'm relying on people who've been there to tell me what's like

I will be applying to St Andrews for Classics. Only one of my 5 choices that will be in Scotland. I was considering Edinburgh for a while but decided against it! If I do go I'll be coming from all the way down in South London, so it'll be a wonderful change of scenery.

I hope you will get an offer! and classics is such an interesting subject! I've studied Latin for 6 years and I've thoroughly enjoyed it good luck!

I do Classical Civilisation as an A Level so I'm already well familiar with the historical/literary side of Classics. Here's hoping I get the offer! Haven't decided on what my firm choice might be when the time comes but St Andrews is definitely one of my best bets.

Hey Maddy, as someone about to start Psychology at St Andrews I urge you to apply regardless of your grades. Make sure your PS is as good as it can be and work all throughout your S6 so that you're prepared to be given conditions (unless you get your unconditional!). As far as I'm aware the course isn't too overly subscribed this year so hopefully it's the same next year!
Feel free to ask any questions you have! Good Luck!

Hey guys,
I'm also going to be applying to do Psychology at university. I have achieved ABB at my AS levels and will hopefully be going to either Cardiff, Bristol, Bath, Swansea or Reading. I'm just wondering, what do you think makes a great personal statement for somebody hoping to do Psychology?

Hey everyone! I'm looking to apply to St Andrews to study biochemistry - anyone else?
I went to the open day on 16th April and absolutely fell in love with the town, it's beautiful and I love that it's by the sea! I disagree when people say it's too small, personally I'm quite shy and not into huge cities so it's pretty good for me, especially as I've lived in London all my life.
I'm also looking to apply to York, Edinburgh, Leicester and Birmingham
I'm excited but also very nervous
EDIT: oh and I got AAAA at AS

Hi all! I just got my A level results: A* in English literature, A in history, B in maths and an A* in my Extended project.
I hope to apply for History following a GAP year - any other historians out there? I'm sure that the requirements are AAA so i don't know if they are going to accept my grades or not!
I turned down an offer to study at UCL this year (too poor! Haha) I'm from the outskirts of London so I'm really excited by the prospect of uni in Scotland

You honestly just need to show how interested you are, what you see yourself doing with the degree in 3/4 years time. Also, remember they want to see that you'll take part in the wider life of university so talk about the extra curricular things you do too!
