So who's applying for Edinburgh 2010???

[buchaneyes]

i meant before my results...

so i could be rejected anytime soon, (v unlikely) offered soon, or left in limbo until march
if they are handing out offers in november they have obviously looked through the applications - so why wait until march to decide for everyone else??

basically, they read through all 2000, say, briefly and the 25/30/however many that they say "shit, we have to have this one" get offers, the ones that clearly dont have the minimum requirements get rejections. then everyone else, say 1700, goes into the big long main decision process, and they gradually whittle down, sending out rejections all the while, until they're left with the final 300.

personally i think it's a stupid system, and i've no idea why they dont interview...its so frustrating to think that that UCAS form is the one and only chance you get to prove yourself.

rant over lol...

well, i suppose it is one less thing for me to mess up
i think i might actually come across better on paper than in person...
i am however a bit of a paranoid control freak ( yes, i admit it), so i will be nervous until i get a decision
bensilber2000, are you applying this year?

[Crims]

We only get an answer in March?!? *faints*
I seriously think the waiting time will kill me!
Well good luck, I hope everyone gets at least an offer even if it isn't their first choice!!

lol buchaneyes you're going to be a medic...you have to be a lil bit of a control freak. yeah i am...app went in about 2 weeks ago. be sure to let me know if you hear anything

[buchaneyes]

i will, i'm just glad they have my fee status as home (provsionally)

[sara7000]

I don't know, but I think I read March on their website - the prospect of waiting that long without hearing anything is VERY daunting

Sara7000 - as far as choices go, great minds think alike?? I'm sure you'll beat me on the BMAT - I'm rubbish at sections 2 and 3

lol i am even rubbish at SECtion 1

congrats ur a home student , i have been classified as overseas although i live in glasgow

It just means that Edinburgh has noted your application and sent you an e-mail, that's all :P

Im another Edinburgh applicant and I have to say the thought of waiting until March to hear anything is petrifying!! I agree that they should interview but hey, it's their decision not to...

And the other thing really frightening me (apart from not understanding the accent) is how amazing all of your qualifications are - I'm thinking a rejection may appear on track for me :'(

Anyway, good luck to all of you even though I'm sure you dont need it!!
