**St Andrews in Scotland Acceptance/Rejection Class of 2021**

Unconditional for Modern History and IR!!

Just received my portal login! Does that mean a decision is coming soon?

Congrats!! When did you receive your portal login @hgt730 ?

@vigilia, @lourveamerican, it’s ironic, cause I saw that post too, and I’m applying to Cornell as well! Have either of you got you applicant portal yet?

Congrats @hgt730! How long after you received the “Pending Decision” update in your StA status page did you receive a decision?

@AceofallTrades just got mine today!!

Same situation as @saskey12 does this mean i’ll get my decision soon??

@AceofallTrades got my cornell login like 5 days after I submitted my app, and my St As login a couple minutes ago.

Just got my login. Does this mean I will receive a decision soon…?

@hgt730 how did you receive your acceptance? Did they email you or did you have to check your portal? also- just got my login. Does this mean I will receive a decision soon…?

D got login 2 weeks ago, no decision, so don’t get too excited.

Stupid portal question. She emailed both her transcript and school profile as requested, only her school profile is showing on the portal, but it says no documents requested. So we’re ok?

@lourveamerican I received the login after I got my acceptance I think they are starting to announce all of the early applications

@VickiSoCal Same with me- I think that’s fine.

They post acceptance on UCAS first, then email your with a subject University of St Andrews - Your Offer

Hey everyone! Like I said, I was accepted for IR and Modern History on thursday. I applied through UCAS and was notified by them via email of an update to my application. I had previously been accepted for Modern History and received my portal login through that acceptance email. I hope the helps! Can’t wait to hear about everyone’s results!!

If anyone else did it through Common App, how does the reserve choice option factor into decisions? If they reject you from one program do they consider you for your reserve choice?

I should have heard back 3 days ago if their website is truthful… Has anyone heard back from IR and Modern Languages? I applied Oct. 18.

@lourveamerican, this is me jumping on your choice of words with both feet:

truthful?!

if you had said ‘accurate’ or ‘exact’, fine. But truthful? do you really think that they are lying on their website? or perhaps that they are just messing with poor innocent applicants?

From here, that looks incredibly entitled - “you promised me this, and I want it right now”.

I am hoping that it was just an unfortunate choice of words, but if not ( to quote one of the best movies of all time) “get used to being disappointed”.

You are not their only applicant and they are doing the best they can. And if you do get an offer and decide to attend, be prepared for a lot more inexactness.

Hello @vigilia, my son applied through the Common App and did indicate a reserve choice. His status on the portal just still says “Pending Decision,” but we expect/hope to hear this coming week as he applied by the 10/31 deadline for those who should hear by the end of the third week of November.
