anyone planning to go to the applicants day thing on march 18th?

I am! Though it's different open days since I'm going to the Informatics one and you're probably going for the School of Arts .

I'll actually be staying all week in Edinburgh that week from Monday 16th to either Friday or Sunday. I'll take the opportunity to check the different accommodations and just pretend it's September already ;D.

I am. I will be at the law and history talks!

there's some english, all variations of the course, offer people listed here http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=727323



haha, i'll probably be doing the same thing although I'll have to keep it short, only two days because of some other responsibilities i have in that period... taking walks, pretending to look busy going to lecture ( ), and trying to get into as many of the s/c flats as possible to see what they look like



i'll be at the english & scottish lit talk in the morning and history of art in the afternoon...

as for us coming to the open days, anyone feels like arranging some sort of a get together of people who are on TSR, in the evening? i'll probably be going alone and i know i'll simply explode if there's no one i can comment with

are you guys bringing friends/family members/general tag-alongs who want to be there?

I am bringing my mum even though I live in Edinburgh.lol

haha well thats quite okay, i wanted my mum along, but she refuses to come with me... i got the lecture on "maturity and making my own choices" etc. i dont want her to make my choices, i just want her to be there to listen to me so i don't have to talk to myself

lol. Mum WANTS to come. I suppose it will be OK as I will get a lift there and she usually thinks of good questions to ask. Where are coming to Edinburgh from?

part of my family is originally from Devon, but my gran moved ages ago to Croatia and married here, so I'll be flying in from quite a long way off

Quite a distance! Is it your first choice then?

yup. i firmed it already, i really want to study at Ed and they've given me a fair offer of 34 IB pts which is quite reasonable... my family insisted i apply to oxbridge (cambridge, king's) and that didn't go that well, but personally wasn't that keen on it anyways, so i was ecstatic when Ed sent the offer.
How about you, what are your other options?

I got rejected for English Lit at edinburgh today too!!! I'm so gutted. It was my first choice too, had my heart totally set on it... And I'd worked really hard, straight As and taken up extra projects and everything to boost my chances. All for nothing! How annoying. York Uni here I come then... sighhh.

A get-together would be really nice, if we find enough interested people, maybe some of the current students (Oxy? Nearlyheadless? artorscience?) could join and share some Uni survival tips for a pint or so?
