Nope! I'm pretty sure no one has on here anyway....:eek:
But then again I know that other unis like Bristol and the London Unis haven't given out offers yet so StAs aren't the worst!
I was searching through a couple of old threads to find out when History students got their offers last year and I think they got them around Early/Mid March!!:eek:
I wonder if we choose the slowest department in the Uni! I bet us History lot are last to get our offers! They're probably too busy trying to repair their tweed jackets....:wink:

I think History is one of the most competitive departments, along with IR. We should be waiting along with you guys until March. :frown:

Not good news! What's your subject? We'll just have to keep checking UCAS everyday to see if we've got offers! I'm one of the most impatient people you could ever meet so this is going to kill me! :biggrin:

*sobs* At least march isn't actually that far away.
A girl last year got an offer for med history on 15th march apparently. 41 days? something like that.
My nerves are going to be shot to shreds by then.

I've got holidays now for Chinese New Year, was secretly hoping that when I came back next week (leaving soon) I would have some more on my track. :biggrin:

My friend has just started a new job in the admissions department of the university. I had asked her when we could expect offers/letters to come out. She told me that one thing she has learnt is thath St Andrews is very slow..mostly done by snail mail. Also she said it can take up until the end of March as they like to get all applications in(some schools dont start the application process until the middle of Jan). It also depends on the popularity of the course.
I have applied for Ecology&Conservation and also Zoology..I got my letter yesterday and have to go for an interview...anyone else in the same boat?
