Not too much honestly, just diid a couple of cs course, read a book on probability and some research papers, watched YouTube videos about interesting sequences, and did some data modelling. How about you?

Oh nice, I did the Scottish maths challenge but I wrote my solutions using code and then I did the cyberfirst event, I also did my AH computing project a bit earlier (june), only implementing the UI js so I could include it in my PS cause I had to learn a library called customtkinter since I use python

Yeah I am considering Warwick as a likely 5th option as well, but I'm kind of tempted to put in LSE maths w data science. I'll decide based on how Edinburgh and Oxford turn out.

Has anyone who has applied to Edinburgh got an offer back so far? I here they take a while to apply.
Also anyone who has now or has in the past got an offer for physics, what offer did they give, I here a lot about Edinburgh offering a range of entry requirements for A-Levels and was wondering if anyone has some experience.

i got mine yesterday from edinburgh and applied a week ago today for theology

Anyone doing illustration here? or just generally creative subjects? It’s been my goal for a while now but i was talking to someone at my college who recently dropped out of the course and she said it’s seriously underfunded.
Have As in higher english, maths, hbio, graphcom, and art and doing advanced art this year but don’t have predictions yet, and i’m applying cause it’s a fairly good school and i won’t have to move house for it lol
Also applying to dundee and glasgow but glasgow doesn’t have a specific illustration course plus i hear the state of things is not great there (i mean where is it not lol)

I’m applying to Animation! :biggrin:

It’s nice to see another ECA applicant here it feels like there’s none on this website lol

Hi I did economics classics and history and I am going to study history, I’m on a gap year now but got A*A*A and a B in my EPQ! I liked the city of Edinburgh and will go to the open day for sure, I’ve seen that apparently Edinburgh student satisfaction is the lowest in the uk so that’s a bit worrying but it’s ranked high so it’s probably fine,

heyy i’m applying history in edinburgh too!!!

I applied for ecological and environmental sciences and honestly the wait is killing me too! Just saw someone got an offer for earth sciences in the same faculty though, so I'm hoping I might hear something soon
