when should i expect to hear back from edinburgh university?

I applied in September, Uk student, non-contextual with A*A*A* predicted for English Literature at Edinburgh University.
I know that Edinburgh are known to take a while, but does anyone know when Edinburgh tend to respond on average- is it March, April, May… etc?

I’d imagine it’ll be March/ April most likely- I’ve still heard nothing for law as an English student-

I think they seem to deal with Scottish students and international students first which isn’t ideal, but with your grades I’m sure you’ll hear back early April latest

This is incorrect Scottish students do not hear first, it is up to specific subject admissions. I believe Edinburgh is one of the latest to respond. So of the school admissions have put out offers.

They are known for being slow and having seen this news report, it sounds like the Uni is in turmoil so it may mean staff take even longer to make decisions. 😕
