I'm doing the IB and my conditions are 39 overall and 666 from my HL subjects (also a 4 in Maths SL).

Sorry to hear that. You are literally the only person who seems to of heard anything- how can they keep us waiting this long? I applied in October!!!! This is my top choice and I have had enough of waiting on the edge of my seat. If you hear of anyone else getting a reply please say so. Thanks.

I think I'm going to insure Edinburgh! I know exactly how you feel haha. My parents want me to firm and insure already but I'm pretty nervous to do so. Seems so final! Any idea which accommodation you would apply for?

Ah so where are you going to firm? I managed to do it today, but it's awful realising that I can't change my mind! I'm thinking self-catered, probably Kincaids Court or Robertson's Close, how about you?

Hopefully Oxford - just kinda nervous to do so! Haha well done, I think I might try to firm and insure tonight. Where is your insurance? Ah ok sounds good! Not completely sure yet, but possibly catered Pollock Halls!

Aw well done for Oxford that's amazing! Yeah just do it! I put Royal Holloway as my insurance, but hopefully I'll manage to get the grades for Edinburgh!! Ah yeah they do look nice to live in, they are in a good area too :smile: good luck for Oxford!!!
