Honest_Man#1 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pretty sure you can do it from about April/may yeah because the official deadline is always end of June (although the doesn't really mean anything) Aye the deadline doesn't really seem to mean anything. My flatmate got a phone call from his uni in late January telling him that theyd not received his saas money so he needed to pay, turned out he had not realised you had to redo it every year, but he just phoned saas and dos the application then and it got sorted no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my pal never realised that either and got locked out of all the uni services in mid January last year because he hadn't done his SAAS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Got an unconditional from Stirling for history, politics and professional education, so at least I have somewhere to go next year! Had my interview for St Andrews on Monday but think it'll be a week or so until I find out. Thought it went okay, but it's always hard to tell I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pretty sure you can do it from about April/may yeah because the official deadline is always end of June (although the doesn't really mean anything) The earlier you get your application in the better. You'll get to Uni and SAARS, SFE, etc will have already processed your application and you wont have any worries. There is always a horrendous backlog at the beginning of the academic year with students applying late. I worked in University finance offices for a couple of years and the amount of time we had to spend with students (commonly known as idiots in Uni Finance depts) who had applied late, or incorrectly completed the forms was horrendous. One guy actually turned up without applying for funding because he "thought we did that". Another, who had been fully financed by SFE, kleft after teh first term and wanted us to refund the SFE loan to him as he would be paying it back to them anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 After making a complete c**t of it at Edinburgh, I've got unconditionals for 2nd year chemical engineering at Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt, anyone got any tips on which to choose? I'll be based in Edinburgh and travel isn't much of an issue as I get 75% off train journeys with my job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Did you do Chem Eng at Edinburgh? Yeah I did my first year there, then got into a mess in second year because of having to work so much just to afford living there. That was two years ago. I've got a decent job now so looking to go back and complete it elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiesquirrel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Got a very manageable conditional from UWS for sports journalism, considering I stay 15/20 mins from it that is probably where I'll go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdogunderdog underdog Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Got 78% for my latest uni assessment so really pleased with that. My previous two I got 64% and 69%. We had an online one too which I got 85% for but it only counts towards 5% of your final mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Got a very manageable conditional from UWS for sports journalism, considering I stay 15/20 mins from it that is probably where I'll go. I did that as a student, did what is known as "the Scottish thing" and gone to the local University. I regretted it, to be honest. Other, better unis were out there and I chose the home comforts. Probably why I went abroad for a semester in year 3 - to experience something of the student life. I'll be recommending to my kids also that they move away, and not go to where is local. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just chosen my dissertation topic, which will generally be about the idea of how federalism would play out in the UK. It will almost certainly bore me to tears but I've got plenty of reading material on it and a rough idea of what to write so I should be ok. Hopefully I've got a good chance of getting the swag daddy that is Tom Lundberg as supervisor too as it falls within his field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Also chose my dissertation topic last week - analysing the claim that Scottish independence would lead to a balkanisation of Europe. Gonna contrast the two situations and look at the differing ways the states emerged/would emerge to dispute it. Got til the end of June to finalise it so wording of question/focus of it may/probably will change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
