Im just wondering, have you guys taken a gap year?


I actually went to Aberdeen for a year doing English and reapplied, hated the subject.

I've got an offer from Exeter and I'm waiting on Warwick (lucky you!), Kings, St Andrews and Edinburgh


Wow congrats on Exeter 😍 I can't believe you'rewaiting on four! Waiting on two is stressful enough!! 😵 from looking at last year's offers it seems that languages in particular are one of the last to give out answers but I don't know whether or not this is the case... I hope not!! When did you send your application if you don't mind me asking?
Why do I even check my email after 9pm when I am fully aware there's going to be nothing...

Yeah I know it's been almost 3 months since I've applied (November 30th):s-smilie: I was pretty confident about my application it make me feel like perhaps I was wrong to be ...

I'm a French and IR applicant and haven't heard anything yet! Portal says my application is in the Languages department but it has been pending for so long I don't know whether or not it's been through the IR department yet - EU student too so waiting is so long and terrifying... Good luck!


where on the portal does it say which department its been through ?

Well I tried to double-check just now but it wouldn't let me log in (I think there is a maintenance thing going on at the moment?) But fromm what I remember from a couple of days ago, in the extra information underneath the 'pending' status it reads, Department: and mine says my application is in the Department for Modern Languages - I don't know whether or not this is a true indication of which department the application is in, but I hope so because it is the only information I have recieved so far!! :s-smilie:

I'm sure it has nothing to do with your application except the fact that you are an EU student for St Andrews, but I get what you mean waiting just drains the confidence from you!! I really hope we've heard back by the end of Feb because the wait is awful.

So have you applied for French and IR or just IR?

Congratulations to both of you!

IR
I hate this waiting so much. Last year, I just decided to try & apply to a few British unis and I was really relaxed about it, it just seemed like a somewhat crazy idea and I liked the process of searching for unis and courses, going through rankings ...
But I feel like during these months that I've been waiting, I've become so stressed out. My excitement has turned into anxiety because I still haven't received any offers and, after spending so much time with this application, I want it so so much. I know that I'll probably receive a rejection (EU applicant for IR ...) and I'm so scared of it. My friends and family can't really understand why I think about this application stuff constantly and why I want to talk about it all the time - uni applications aren't such a big thing in Germany, if your grades are good enough, you're automatically accepted.

Anyone here who can relate to how I feel? I hate this feeling of anxiety so much but I just have to think about my application constantly ...

Definitely can relate! For a while, all I could think about and talk about was my applications. Looking through the courses of my top 2 choices... again and again... and just waiting... Tbh... TSR doesn't really help matters especially when you see other people getting offers and such. Was still extremely excited about studying abroad, just anxious to hear from unis for better or for worse.

But it will be over soon :smile: the anxiety will subside and if you get into you top few choices, the excitement will be back!, trust me :tongue:
