Congratulations!! I'm applying from Ireland...I think maybe the university is slower to send out offers to EU students due to our fee status. What were your predicted grades if you don't mind me asking? x

Hey! I've applied for Neuroscience with Psychology, did you apply for the courses separately or the Major-Minor honours course like me?

I really liked the structure and the modules of the course. For my other 4 choices I applied for Biomedical Sciences but this course really appealed to me. I just find it very interesting 😊 and you?

That sounds like my thoughts exactly :biggrin:

I've never had any experience of either neuroscience or psychology (besides the psychology talk at Edinburgh, which was amazing by the way!) But the modules look good and it's nice to get some experience of other topics/courses incase neuroscience isn't for me. My other sport science, biological sciences and psychology. I found the biomedical talk at Aberdeen to be really good, but I was a couple of mark off a B in chemistry, so I couldn't meet the chemistry requirement...

Did you go to the open day for Aberdeen? Considering the distance, I could understand if you didn't :biggrin:

Noo, I didn’t go, I was thinking of going to visit Scotland after hearing back from all of the unis. Then I could visit the ones who have made an offer and decide better.

Is aberdeen your first choice?

That makes sense. Currently torn between Edinburgh and Aberdeen, haven't heard from Edinburgh yet, and so that is a dependent factor. What about yourself, is Aberdeen your first choice?

Aberdeen is the only Scottish uni on my list. Glasgow (in a rather peevish manner) said they wouldn't accept my mix of French and English qualifications, and St Andrews needs two science A-levels.
I've applied for entry into year two, but will consider year one. I'd rather go to one of my English choices, because of the distance, but, as I'm an EU applicant, the price is tempting. *sigh*
