Who told you that?
People on this thread, is St Andrews your #1 choice or just one of your 5 options? :smile:

As of now, I'm definitely insuring Edinburgh. Got offers from Warwick and Nottingham but they're higher than I hoped (A*AA) so my firm will probably either be St Andrews or UCL, if I get offers from them.

Physics, my offer from Edinburgh was for Physics with a Year Abroad - ABB.

How about you? And where does St Andrews stand amongst your other choices?

Hopefully it's faster for Physics then. My friend already has an offer for Chemistry

It's my #1! I could've applied to Oxford but I'm one of those rare people that have no desire to go there :frown: It just never clicked with me and I'm honestly scared and intimidated at the thought of being too stressed and overworked there! I really want a good mix between academics and social, which I think St Andrews offers :biggrin:

Same here, my predicted grades are pretty good so I had teachers convincing me to apply to Oxbridge but they need to realise that Oxbridge isn't for everyone.

St Andrews seems like such a great university. Nice secluded location (not for everyone I suppose), really high student satisfaction, well respected, and also the fact that when Prince William becomes King we could say the King went to our university :wink:
St Andrews is my #1
Anyone got an offer for Computer Science and Maths??? :smile:

Possibly my first. I haven't actually had a chance to go up there yet. I might go for Warwick though. I mean I applied for Oxford but I'm expecting a rejection from them in the next few days and even if I got an interview, J wouldn't be able to make up for my awful MLAT.

I so agree! It just wasn't for me :smile: and when I went to visit it just felt so right too (except for maybe a twinge of island syndrome hahaha). Do you mind me asking what your predicted grades are?
