Hey everyone!

How are you all feeling? Is anyone applying for any courses with an early deadline (October 15th)? It’s a week to go, so just wanted to check in and see how you're feeling 😄

If you need some help with your personal statement, we have a whole forum dedicated to your questions (just don't post any part of your statement!), and some example statements in our PS library.

What are your main questions?

If you're not applying early, have you started looking around at booking any open days yet? If so, how are they going? Have you visited Glasgow yet?

Good luck everyone :woo:

Thank you :biggrin:
My offer was AAA, i received an offer about 2 weeks after I applied if I remember correctly. To be fair though I was an early applicant which may have made the response faster lolol
