St Andrews people share their application journeys

Hi, I'm in yr 12 and applying to St. Andrews this year. I want to ask current and previous St. Andrews students about their application journeys, namely these things:
- how they found it
- what they did (specifically)
- how they prepared
- top things they included in their personal statements
- something they would like to say to someone applying to St. Andrews
- why did they choose St. Andrews?
- how did they decide which course to apply for?
- what was the interview process like (if applicable) and what sorts of questions were asked?
- tell us about the entrance exams (if relevant - not every course requires this)
- did they take any online courses (for their personal statement) and if so, were they helpful?
- (this is just a fun one) what was something they didn't expect when arriving to St. Andrews?
- and feel free to give us a fun fact about either St.Andrews Uni or Scotland itself if you want to

You don't have to include all of this - these are just some ideas and you can absolutely talk about other stuff as well. I would greatly appreciate any responses as this would be very helpful not only for me but for other aspiring St. Andrews students as well. Thanks in advance, and if you haven't graduated yet, then best of luck for your uni studies and congrats for getting accepted! :smile:
