Hey guys! I am surprised this thread has not been started yet. Can’t wait to meet anyone else applying to St Andrews! Went to an applicant today and fell in love.
Hi! I applied to MA Psychology in late October. Hoping to get a response in a few months. I’m also from the US and visited last month!
fun fact to know & tell: in the UK they reference a class by when it starts, not when it finishes - so the “class of 2022” is the 2018 intake. If you poke around UK sites, this is useful info…
May daughter and 2000 other students are in the St. Andrews class of 2021 Facebook group. And they are graduating in June of 2021.
Fair enough, @VickiSoCal!
(of course, StA’s is the most Americanized of the UK unis)
(also, that may be more practical in Scotland, where all courses are 4 years, vs England, where courses are 3 or 4 years, so it makes more sense to do it by year of entry).
I know this might be kind of early, but has anyone recieved an offer yet? Just curious if they are getting responses out faster than last year.
^^For international students
When did you apply?
When did you apply? @tuneforever
@cfanderson not that long ago I believe it was Nov. 4th. I Was just wondering if they were doing it more American style rolling where you hear back 3-4 week’s after you apply instead of like months. Im super impatient b/c I really want to get in lol so I wanted to see when I should expect a response.
omg just realised i wrote ‘went to an applicant today and fell in love’, i mean applicant day today.
@tuneforever what are you applying for? I’m applying for MA (Hons) Management and MA (Hons) Management and Spanish.
Did you guys apply through Common App or UCAS?
I’m applying for MA (Honours) Ancient History & Archaeology and Social Anthropology, and I applied through common app @bessieh
@tuneforever nice, what are your stats if you don’t mind me asking?
Sure, I don’t mind. @bessieh

P.s my SAT subject test scores are so bad lol.
@tuneforever On the tour they said if you applied in early nov you would most likely hear back by Christmas! They said for international students it takes between 6-12 weeks usually. Some courses they wait and hold them (like international relations) but if I can remember correctly ancient history wasn’t one that they hold. I also did the Common App btw.
@cfanderson thanks! This is going to be a really intense Christmas
^^I also get back my other top school around that time.
@tuneforever good luck!
Thanks! You too @cfanderson
D applied in October last year and heard back in February. Joint International Relations and Social Anthropology. The delay may have been because of the IR which it does seems takes longer. The waiting is difficult. Good luck.
