i'm confident i'll get all A's in my highers but I've been told by a relative who studied medicine at st andrews that that doesn't matter, i've not no chance of getting in unless i get all A's in my national 5's. she also says i won't get into the course at all, i'm better off applying for something obscure and then transferring.
i'm pretty sure i'll get 6 A's, and a B in my maths and C in my chemistry, but as i want to study international relations i'm not sure that it'll matter as these aren't related to IR. does anyone know anything about it?? thanks
