Hi!
Any postgrad hopefuls out there? I didn't see any other active threads for postgraduate students here, so let's go!

Need more help on going postgrad?
I applied to the MSc Cognitive Science programme, they mentioned they would send most decisions after the deadline for that (March 31st).
How about you?

Hello everyone!
I applied for the MSc in Applied Linguistics before the February deadline. I was informed that I can expect to receive a decision by the 31st of March, but does anyone know how likely it is to hear back by mid-February?

Anyone know how much the personal statement is weighted compared to undergrad grades and oneโs recommendation? Iโm from the US and Iโm worried I wrote my personal statement too anecdotally (which Iโm used to doing so here). Iโm proud of my statement, but have no idea if it was typical or what is expected. I have a great recommendation from a former professor and strong GPA and graduated with honors. But Iโm making myself go crazy worried about my statement!

I believe that European unis tend to give higher weightage to grades, and you've got a strong GPA. Stop worrying, you'll be fine!

Got a conditional offer today for an Msc humanities program. I have been wondering about the quality of the program though because the application did not require me to submit a writing sample, which is rare, especially in the humanities.

Hey All, I was just wondering as to when you applied to Edinburgh, on the qualifications section of your appliction (after you applied) as to whether the subject you are studying is shown. For some reason mine is not, however the university I am currently at is.

I'm started to get a bit frustrated :/ I applied to Edinburgh in early December and my status is still at "new". None of my documents have been checked so I doubt they've even looked at my application. I'm an international applicant and I've emailed the admissions department but have gotten no response back (now going on 2 weeks with no response). I absolutely understand everything is a bit behind because of covid but I'm just starting to get a bit worried seeing as I have a deadline to accept my Glasgow offer coming up. I just wish they would at least review my documents so I know SOMETHING is happening.

I contacted the admissions department as well because it seemed as if none of my submitted documents had been verified. It took them about two weeks to apply. I would suggest contacting them, or maybe someone else in tech support. It is my impression that they're a bit disorganized and generally very slow to respond. It may also be that they're receiving a large number of applications at this time of the year and they're processing things slowly. I doubt your application has somehow vanished into thin air though, even if it the whole thing feels very frustrating!

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to comment! I'm sorry you've also experienced this. It makes sense that they are unorganized since I'm sure most (if not all) are working from home. I guess I just have to be patient. Did your status eventually change after speaking with them?

I also suspect that certain programs that are more popular or receive more applicants than others take longer to respond. I don't know about you, but I applied to a humanities program, which may not be as popular as the STEM ones...

Yes, the status changed: the reference letter my professor had submitted switched from "sent; not verified" to "verified." I think the other documents (transcripts, etc.) got verified the following day. I'm sure you'll be fine! Good luck!
