St. Andrews Applicants 2009 (deferred 2010)

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

I know exactly how you feel. still debating the Extra thing tho. Can you still hold an offer and go through extra? and do you have to wait for all your offers.... my unis are still making me WAIT!!!

I got rejected for Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry .

Good idea Henry JW.
I honestly don't understand why it takes them so long to process applications. Leeds who get among the most applicants per year got back to me with an offer within 3 days.
I'm assuming they're just making everyone wait for rejections now, if they gave out a ton of offers now how would they expect people to arrange to get to a post offer open day so quickly?
I'm getting so sick of track too, all my friends had their track process over and done a long time ago..
Is it just sloppy admin or do they enjoy making people wait as some kind of absurd test?!
Sorry, rant over.

You cannot hold any offers when you go through Extra; you either have to decline all offers/withdraw an application to a university and then you can make one Extra choice at a time.

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.

Not all is lost! you still have St. A's to save you some of my friends have been rejected from all of their medical schools, and they have better grades than me. Think everyone needs a bit of luck

Ahh no i dont hah, I forgot to update my signature...They rejected me yesterday

Two of my friends just received their last two rejections. One had AAAAA and didn't get into Maths or Chemistry. The other had AAABB and was turned down for both Chemistry and Physics.

It really isn't looking good. Have they given out any offers lately?

Omgz *hugs* whats your plan now?

I had AAAAA and didn't get into chemistry and my best friend with AAABB didn't get into physics. It's mental!
