Hey All,
Who is applying to Glasgow this year? I'm curious to know what you're thinking. What do you think they're looking for?

PS: Is anyone else about ready to blow their brains out?:scared:
 
Hahah awwww...RELAX!!!! And let me know if you have any questions about Glasgow!!!
 
No.
You can send them if you want, but they don't require them.
 
I actually have a question about Glasgow - they say they take the VMCAS and ask you mail them transcripts, evaluations, and references.

I'm just a little confused as won't they have the evaluations from VMCAS? Do they seriously want you to ask each of your evaluators to mail you a copy so you can send them a paper version?

Seems a little redundant, which is why I thought I'd ask. If all they wanted was the transcripts, then that would be fine but why the evaluations?
 
I e-mailed Joyce Wason specifically about this because I was confused too, she said they get everything from VMCAS and only your transcripts are needed to be sent. Evaluations, references, and all that Jazz gets to them from VMCAS.

If you have your GRE scores, you can mail a copy with you but they are not required or particularly requested.

Here is my exact question:

I had a question regarding the admissions package that should be sent directly to the admissions office in Scotland . I will be applying through VMCAS and will have all of my letters of recommendation filed electronically through that service.
When sending my official transcript to you in Scotland , do I need to include signed paper copies of the letters of recommendation and a paper copy of my personal statement?
I suppose my real question is what do you prefer to have sent in the admissions package?
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Here was her exact answer:

Thank you for your message, I am delighted that you are applying to Glasgow .

You only need to send us your transcripts, everything else now comes from VMCAS.
 
Ah, you're awesome psjlg2! Good to know that it is all sorted through VMCAS, that makes me feel a ton better.

I cannot find the address to send transcripts to, I only see Joyce Watson's e-mail. Why do international schools make it so damn hard to get the information? Lol..:laugh:

I'm applying to Glasgow! WOO
 
me too.. I wonder how many applicants they get from N. America every year?
 
At least 4 !!!
 
I'm kind of wondering whether my transcripts ever actually made it over to Glasgow, my faith in overseas mail is kind of limited.. Has anybody emailed them to check?
 
I e-mailed a few weeks ago and just today got a reply. It did say that they got my transcripts from University of Alaska Anchorage AND North Carolina State University. Only problem is I never went to North Carolina State University!!! I e-mailed back and said so, so either someone has the same name as me or someone goofed up.
Oh well I guess.

I got a pink slip in the mail with a signature on it saying my transcripts got there too, but I purchased registered mail. I would call and make sure.

It's becoming more and more popular among N. Americans..in the classes above me there are about 30 in each, and in mine there are 46

It seems like my class (2013) is ~40% North American.... about 4-5 are from Canada. 🙂

Good Luck!!
