Its only another year, you could save loads of money to ease the burden of money after u graduate! It's a worthy investment :smile:

Never heard of any university accepting anyone who is 76 o_O

There's no upper age limit :biggrin:

Just if you're over 65 or something you don't qualify for student finance anymore, so the limit is how much money you have :tongue:

There is a bloke in his 80s in the second year of a classics degree here I believe. Apparently he's a great laugh.

Now that's a man I'm curious to meet.
Anyone here do classics? I'm considering it as one of my 3 subjects!

I'd definitely do it. If I end up at St Andrews. But I probably won't ^^;

Haha I want to. But they haven't replied to my e-mail yet, so if the offer stays the same, it'll be too high, and I'll have to reject it x.x

Hey Zenobia I just found a table where all the international qualifications are compared to A levels, its from Bristol university but it should be the same for St Andrews. Have a look at it :smile:

Why do u have to reject it coz its to high? Why not accept it, put it as your firm, work ur ass off if u miss by a bit still ring them up they might still let u in and ofcourse if u meet them then your in. You got nothing to lose tbh. :confused:

I also have an offer from Bristol. It asks for a 7 average and a 5 on my IB. St Andrews asks for an 8 average an a 9 for History/Ancient History.

None of the UK universities have a clue what they're talking about.
You can not compare the Dutch system to A-levels for so many reasons. The main one being I do triple the amount of subjects.

Edit: I took a closer look at that table. It compares A-levels to VWO 3 subjects o__O (I'm in VWO 6). Which is even more stupid, because in VWO 3 you have... what's the Latin term... sextuple the amount of subjects as A-levels. Or does the GCE mean something different?
Also that table only takes 'most relevant subjects' in to account, which I WISH they would, because I indeed have 10, 9, 9 (meaning far above AAA in their odd minds) in my most relevant subjects. Cambridge does that, I believe. But noooot St Andrews, Bristol and Durham.

My Durham offer is also an 8 average, and I prefer that as my firm, since it has a better Archaeology department, it's 3 years, and it's closer by.
So I want St Andrews as my insurance (since I will also miss my Durham offer), but it's pretty stupid to choose an insurance with a higher offer lol, especially if you'll miss both offers.

Having received an offer for Sustainable Developement due to commence in September 2009, I am awfully excited and thrilled... hmmm. I ahve also sent of my accomodation application form and made implications that I would prefer St Salvator's and University Hall. What is the generally scope of feeling towards your offers. One of the admissiosn tutors contacted me and congratulated me as she said that this year was extremely tough and had a high calibre of student.. So yay...

I have firmed St Andrews and Insuranced Edinburgh
