Glasgow Applicants for 2018 Entry

Hey! Congrats on your offer!!!
I'm applying for politics and I haven't sent my application out yet but I was wondering, if you don't mind, what were your results last year?

Glasgow’s politics department has been sending out offers incredibly fast so you won’t have to wait for long. I’m sure you’ll get an offer as Glasgow are a very accepting uni (80% offer rate). Best of luck, hope to be in your class next year :smile:

Thank you, you’ve got a good solid set of results there too! You absolutely have a chance. Yeah it is my first choice, looks like a very good uni but I’m open to other offers but they’ll come later on which sucks because I’ve experienced the hype so soon and have so long to wait :frown:

where else have you applied to?

Aw! hopefully time will fly in and you'll have another 4 great offers! I'm putting two of my options to Glasgow, one for Stirling, one for Dundee and I'm really stuck between choosing Edinburgh or Strathclyde! Strathclyde is much closer and have more chance of getting in (it's unbelievable how many people I've seen apply for politics at Edinburgh) but Edinburgh is definitely the university closer to my heart and studying in the city where the Scottish parliament is would be amazing but I doubt I'd get in - such a dilemma! But where else are you applying??

Wow near enough the same! Dundee, Edinburgh, St.Andrews and Stirling. I live v close to St.Andrews so hopefully that is taken into consideration. I also have my applications flagged apparently because of my location which is considered when giving a response apparently, but I dunno how that works. That’s why I got the summer school. All of those 4 universities are for International Relations, however. Politics at Glasgow is has a lot of international politics within it which interested me.

Apply for whatever course appeals to you the most, don’t think too much about your chances of getting in. I’d rather a rejection from a uni I liked than an offer from one that didn’t appeal at all, because an offer is very tempting to firm/insure; regardless of where it’s from. Edinburgh does look very good though.

Thanks! A conditional one. I also applied at: Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester and Edinburgh. You?

Great! Conditions you're likely to meet I hope? And that's a nice mix. Strathclyde (for 2 different courses), UWS and GCU.

I'm certainly going to try, but it is going to be very difficult.. Yeah, you have some nice ones too!

Just got an unconditional offer for English Lit! I'm so relieved, I didn't realise they sent out their offers so quickly though.

Course applying for: MEng Mechanical Engineering
Predicted/achieved grades: Higher: AAAAA (achieved) Adv. Higher: AAA (predicted)
Current offer status: Unconditional offer issued yesterday! (applied: 7/12/17)
What made you apply?: Glasgow Uni seems like a really lovely place to study, and their engineering department really impressed me at the open days. I'll probably end up going to Strathclyde right enough - it's tough to decide between them, but Strathclyde's engineering dept is better regarded.

Exciting! I'm sure you'll ace your Highers. Are you studying Human Bio this year (I'm crashing it)?

Ah I see. Sort of wish I'd left after S5. S6 is becoming a bit of a drag...

Hello, I applied to study business economics next year at Glasgow University and applied on the 4th of December and still haven't heard back from them, should I be worried?
