will I receive an offer from Edinburgh?

following a rejection from St Andrews today for International relations MA, I am starting to doubt my chances of receiving an offer from Edinburgh. I applied for two courses, Politics MA and Geography with Politics MA, which are considered by different schools, the former the school of political science and the latter by the school of science and engineering.

The entrance requirement at Higher level for IR at St Andrews was AABB, and at Edinburgh for Geography and Politics the typical offer is AAAA and for politics it is AAAAA.

I achieved AAAAA at higher in one sitting and I know I had a great reference and was happy enough with my PS (its just hard to judge what it was really like). Even though I surpassed the entry requirements for both courses at Edinburgh and also met the typical offer, I am worried that due to the rejection from St Andrews I might also be unsuccessful at Edinburgh

I have received a conditional offer for Manchester for Politics with International relations to get a B in higher politics this year and I also received an unconditional from Glasgow for Politics. However, Edinburgh for politics is my top choice!

Please tell me what you think and what chance I've got! Thank you, Ailie

Wow... Really surprised you were rejected from St.A tbh! You have absolutely every chance of getting into Edinburgh and more. Each institution is different I suppose, so perhaps St.A didn't think you were suited for their style of teaching or something along those lines. Perhaps you can request feedback?

I'm also a St.Andrews IR applicant this year and I haven't had a response yet. May I ask where you're from? (Scottish student here)

Also a scottish applicant here!! Best of luck for St Andrews! IS that your first choice?
