St. Andrews Applicants 2009 (deferred 2010)

Who's taking St. A as their firm?

Who's taking St. A as their firm?

Its going to be my firm
But Im still waiting for my insurance so I cant update track.
Bit annoying
Would you prefer LSE or St Andrews?

As far as I'm concerned:

St. Andrews > UCL > LSE > Warwick

Even if I get an offer for LSE, I'm still going to pick St. Andrews. I might put it as my insurance (even though it would be a higher offer) as a laugh.

My St. Andrews offer is actually my lowest, at 37 points.

Nice, St Andrews will be great
Im still waiting for Warwick as my insurance choice.
Which accommodation are you going to apply to?

Probably New Hall, but for self-catered. It's en-suite and right next to the gym... and thats all I need, as far as I'm concerned. lol
You?

I also thought about an ensuite room but I cant afford it so Im going to catered accommodation and a standart room. But I definately dont wanna goto Fife Park or Albany Park.
I really need the "Hall" feeling and its way to far from the centre of the town.
I would love to go into University Hall cause its near to the sports centre and still in the town.
But Im not that sure about the catered food there
Have you already visited St Andrews?

Yeah I visited in Nov, iirc, and I'd been before when I was young. Lovely place!
I need to be self-catered, because I'm a bit of a fitness freak and need to have complete control of my diet.

Yeah I understand you
Im also doing a lot of sports and I really hope that St Andrews has a strong volleyball team. Do you know the price for the gym or we just have to join a sports club to have access to the gym?
That would be great
But Im really looking forward to the skydiving facilities in St Andrews.

Anyone thinking of Chattan or St Salvator's? Or even St Reg's?

It looks like I'll be choosing the cheapest accom available, unless a pot of money falls from the sky Although I haven't worked out any budgets or anything yet...

St Salvators looks lovely

Congratulations on the offer then,

And, just to clear it up I don't dislike or criticise Edinburgh at all, let alone cos they rejected me...I was made aware by some people of the risks and rumours about their selection process before I applied, and I took the risk (and obviously lost out, ) But I did before, and still do think it's a great uni

EDIT:Oops, I did criticise, but like I said not cos of the rejection alone

It does doesn't it
But Chattan seems the most 'Hogwartsy'
All of the old ones are def the nicest,

St Salvators looks lovely

Um on my thread "Gym, pianos and debating in St. Andrews" someone posted a link to the sports centre website with all the prices. It's a pay-per-entry system, if I understand correctly... but I calculated would still be a lot cheaper than my current gym when going 4 times/week.

SKYDIVING IN ST. ANDREWS?! I'M IN!

Oh the Hogwarts factor definitely has to be considered!

well.... i was warned about how edinburgh really like scottish things, so i had a whole paragraph in my PS about why i wanted to study in Scotland and all about my love for Scottish authors - maybe that helped me get in
