[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one kid at Bristol and one at ESCP. My 3rd has just applied to Edinburgh, Bristol and Exeter. Awaiting results.[/quote]

You may know this but Edinburgh are notorious for waiting til the last minute for certain subjects before putting out their offers. My DS had an offer from Edinburgh, Bristol, Warwick and York about 3 wks after applying, but he is a humanities kid, not STEM.[/quote]

So I’ve heard. My kid in more interested in Bristol’s 4-yr integrated MSci in Management and Innovation. There Edinburgh’s new Future’s Institute interdisciplinary program, which looks amazing on paper. Exeter is a 3rd option. Kid just applied on UCAS during Christmas break. Wonder when we will find out the results.[/quote]

What are your kids credentials in terms of SAT / AP exams and general GPA?

Both my DS and DD heard from Bristol a while ago.[/quote]

When did they apply and to what course? My kid just applied a week ago. He is not at an AP school, so no  and never took the AP tests. But he scored 1460 on the SAT and has a 3.8 unweighed. 
It was the same with my other one that got into Bristol. No APs. But high GPA and 33 ACT. Bristol seems to be a little more lenient on APs if you go to a school without an AP program. One my kid’s best friend at Bristol didn’t even have SATs. Very high GPA, same school with no APs and no SAT and he got into Bristol 2 years ago. They really love Americans. Such a no brainer for the quality of the uni.[/quote]

They applied in Sept. She to a medical / STEM course and he to a Humanities. Each had 4-5 AP's at 5 already in relevant subjects, so their offer was just to maintain a GPA of 3.6 (hers is currently 3.8) or 3.4 (his is currently 3.7). They are going elsewhere despite loving Bristol (visited last summer) just because of the different course options and Phd possibilities[/quote]
