Apply to Edinburgh after deadline as EU student?

I would like to apply for undergraduate Linguistics for entry in 2018. Do I still stand a chance if I submit my application by mid February? I know 15 January was the deadline guaranteeing equal consideration of all applications. By the way, I don‘t know if that matters, but I am an EU student.

I don't mean to put you down, but as far as I know the January 15th deadline was the final deadline for September 2018 applicants.

Hey, fellow EU Linguistics applicant here!
I have to be honest with you, EU applicants face extreme competition to get a place at Edinburgh, way more than overseas and RUK (non-Scottish British) students. The numbers of students that do not pay tuition fees are capped, standard offers are very demanding (even more than oxbridge in some cases!), therefore it's a long shot, even for relatively niche courses like ours. Take a look at admissions stats and you'll understand what I mean.
Also, the fact that you would send your application after the UCAS deadline won't help you as you already know.

That said, these slightly discouraging premises should not prevent you from taking the opportunity to study in an excellent institution, if you have the grades and really love the uni you should definitely try! Just make sure you pick 4 other choices that you really like, I can tell you from personal experience that having offers from other good unis helps keeping your hopes up

Thanks for your extensive answer, it‘s good to hear from a fellow EU student😎 I am actually considering taking a gap year anyway, so there would be no harm for me in applying for entry in 2019, if it wasn‘t for the Brexit referendum😩 I expect the tuition fees for EU students entering uni in Britain from 2019 onwards to go up considerably, which would crush my dreams of studying in the UK... It‘s just such an unfortunate situation! Do you think it is any good to write to Edinburgh asking if I still stand a chance being accepted in this admissions cycle? And, if I may ask, what offers have you received yet? I would be really happy for you if Edinburgh works out for you!

I think you should be fine with the tuition fees even next year.

IKR, I put aside my plans to go on a gap year for that very reason 🙄 I think asking for their official advice is the best thing you can do, at least if they say no you won't cling on false hopes for months. In the meantime, you should get your personal statement and reference done so if you decide to apply you're ready.

Have you considered calling people at UCAS? They might have some advice on how to apply after the deadline and whether you need to contact unis. Also, you should ask about clearing, more and more good unis end up with spare places every year in the summer so that might be a good option.

I have received offers from Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds and Lancaster, hopefully I'll get into Edinburgh but if not, I'll happily go to any of the other four 😊
