Offers in Anthropology yet?

I applied just before the deadline in January, as an international student.
When can I expect a response to my application for Anthropology at Aberdeen?
We'll be visiting universities in Scotland in April, and I'm really hoping I'll have an answer before then.

Not much help, but I’m waiting to hear back from Aberdeen about archaeology. They are the last to reply for me. I applied in Jan as a mature student.

Hi, this is the University of Aberdeen rep account. First of all, thank you very much for your interest in studying with us and I'm sorry that it's taken some time for us to get a response to you. Officially universities have until 14th May for all decisions to be issued to applicants, though we would hope to get responses out sooner. I can't confirm exactly how long it will take for us to get a decision to you but please be assured that our admissions team are working to get everyone answers as soon as they can.

As for visiting, if you have any questions about coming to Aberdeen please feel free to ask! If you would like to come to our campus for a tour and meeting an academic (which we should be able to arrange if we have a couple of weeks notice) then you can book onto a campus visit here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/study/campus-visit.php

Thank you Matthew.
Do you think it might help the process if I were to arrange an interview either remotely before we go to Scotland next week, or while we're there visiting? We already have a tour arranged on the 14th of April.
I definitely need to be able to make a commitment before mid-May if at all possible. Deadlines are earlier in the US.

We won't be able to set up any interviews to accelerate the application being considered, but if you have a deadline you need a response ahead of then it's definitely worth letting the admissions team know about that. If you email [email protected] with details of your application and the deadlines you have coming up then they will be able to look at getting you a response ahead of those. I hope that helps and if you have any more questions on this just let me know!
