Mathematics Application

From Scotland so we sit advanced higher instead of a-levels but they're similar just generally deemed harder, I'm predicted 4As and don't know where to apply.
I feel like applying to Glasgow + Edinburgh then universities in England but unsure what ones are worth me applying to, I am registered to sit the TMUA already.

If it's four Advanced Highers you have all predicted A, you should be fine pretty much anywhere. For Cambridge, for example, offers are usually A1, A1, A2 in Advanced Highers. It's recommended that these include Advanced Higher Maths and an additional Advanced Higher in Applied Mathematics (Mathematics of Mechanics or Statistics from 2015). You will also need to take STEP if you're thinking of applying to Cambridge Mathematics.

Curious to hear how you got on as I am looking to follow a similar path.
