I got AAAAA at higher and I'm doing Advanced Higher Biology, Chemistry and Maths for sixth year, I'm a scottish student so it's a bit different to england, but basically I don’t have to worry about my exams this year which is pretty good!

It took me just under two weeks, my application was sent away on the 13th of November and got the offer on the 24th. It might be different for English students though, I think Scottish unis tend to do offers for Scottish applicants first?

I've been doing an apprenticeship with the technicians at the biology department at Edinburgh and I've sat in the back of the few labs and the academics I saw were really good. Plus edinburgh is an amazing city, I'd really recommend it!

Yeah I’m not too worried about it, I need to look into it more because I mainly just went for the MBio because I could get everything done without having to apply twice but now I’m thinking maybe that was a bit lazy of me 🤣
