St. Andrews Applicants 2009 (deferred 2010)

I haven't looked at the offer pack yet then! Didn't even realise that we had received one - sorry snowrockandice for misinforming you there! - might be to do with the fact that I was on holiday when the forms came and so it was opened by my mum first...

Will have to investigate!

Yes I went to the most recent open day and met Alexandra there!

Unfortunately the only pictures I took were about three on the beach. After the first ten minutes I forgot about the camera and just tried to take as much in as possible by being there. However, before I went and cancelled my FB account for lent I found the St Andrew's groups on there had really good photos. I definitely recommend taking a look if you've got an account.

I was thinking of phoning up the admissions office and enquiring as to when I should expect a decision. Would this be a good idea, or should I just be patient?

I wanted to do the same, but I don't want to irritate them into rejecting me

Don't think they can reject you for bugging them, thats a bit harsh they'll probably fob you off in a nice way though

I finally got an answer from St Andrews.

I'm not joining you guys Not enough spaces or something like that. A bit of a bummer, but I'm sure Glasgow will be just fine

Sorry to hear about the rejections guys

I'm genuinely quite miffed to hear that. It makes me feel guilty for applying to a department with so little competition.

What do you intend to do?

Well, i've applied to Lancaster through Extra. Incase I realllly want to go to uni this year. But, depending on grades in August, I might take a gap year and see if I can't get into St Andrews second time round. My AS grades werent great, so that probably explains the rejectionsss. But going back with AAAA/AAAB might give me a better chance.

I thought i'd be really upset...but I just feel...empty, which is possibly worse.
