@collegemom3717 Thank you for your thoughts. Very helpful.
I know it’s a stressful time, @lourveamerican 
In general things happen in their own time in the UK, which can be frustrating when you are waiting for an answer- but it does all seem to work out in the end. Good luck.
I think the next 2 weeks is when most of the offers will arrive if you applied prior Nov 1st. Good luck everybody!
We visited today and the chemistry department said they have not yet received the international applications to review yet.
@VickiSoCal , how did the visit go?
Very well. Whole family attended the admissions session and tour. Then we sent her off to the chemistry department alone where she met with an advisor and toured the labs. She loved it.
Just received an email saying “Your application to St Andrews - an update”, saying that they are still reviewing my application and will hear back via email as soon as possible…
Has anyone else heard back this week? How about your daughter, @VickiSoCal ? Thank you!
No- nothing- I keep checking my D’s
Ucas site hoping to get a Thanksgiving day present.
Nothing but at her interview Durham said she had a “high likelihood of unconditional”
Hoping they would not say if not true!
@VickiSoCal, no word here yet either, and my S applied before 11/1. It could be that our kids are applying to departments within StA to which American students don’t typically apply, at least not in great numbers. I doubt that Durham would set her for disappointment like that! I would be confident of an unconditional from Durham.
Good luck to your D as well, @KaffeineKitty !!! Let us know if you hear anything! This wait is killing my S!
Everyone on our tour at St Andrews was applying to international relations or history. About 8 international kids and my D was the only Science student.
A friend of ours received an unconditional for Masters of Arts (Honors) Management today. She applies before Oct 31st.
My S is Math. I don’t see anyone here applying to Math, either. So happy for your friend @KaffeineKitty!!!
My D is applying computer Sci- A small program at St Andrews, but it ranks well.
Hey! I got into St Andrews about a week ago. I applied through the common application to comparative literature and anthropology (which I don’t think is very competitive, which may be why I heard back so quickly). I applied before October 31. Very excited!!
To those of you who got accepted, what are your stats?
Can you chance me on my thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/united-kingdom/1939790-chance-me-for-st-andrews.html.
thanks.
Hi there. I applied for Economics on 10/28 and still haven’t heard back as well. I was just wondering if anyone knew if Economics is a competitive major at St. Andrews, like as much as IR? Thanks so much and good luck to everyone!!
@sta2017 I applied for both IR and Economics, and I haven’t heard back from either department.
