Hello again,
I have a little dilemma that I have spent a lot of time thinking about, and I was hoping someone here could help me out, it would be very kind of you to do so.
During the last UCAS application process I got accepted to an undergrad programme in Physics at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, through deferred entry. Some day I plan to take a Ph.D. in Physics (what kind of physics I have little clue about) and of some reason I have doubts about Heriot-Watt, much since I think I could get accepted to University of Edinburgh.
The reason I think this is that I have some new stuff I can put into the personal statement (for example, I am shadowing a nuclear physicist on a national lab around where I study at the moment, which is in Lund, Sweden) and I am taking some pure maths courses (Calculus 1, Algebra 1, Fourier analysis and Linear Algebra). Also, my old personal statement was written when I was undecided between Maths and Physics and some Engineering.
I don't know which is better for me, Heriot-Watt or Edinburgh? If I want to reapply I have to give up my place at Heriot-Watt, that I know but Heriot-Watt is very unresponsive with their e-mail so asking them how they would view reapplying is hard.
What it really comes down to is which university would be better for me, and this is where I need help. And is it worth the risk of reapplying? (might be me just being silly)
Would very much appreciate some help! And thanks for reading!
