Same I dont know yet if I will want to do a masters after undergrad... yet. The whole biology is not quantative at all thing scares me. I like Math. I want to do atleast some modules in it -_-


Trust me, you won't be leaving maths behind, because it's so hard to quantify they come up with ridiculous formulas to cope. Say hello to three years that'll teach you to hate statistics.

hi, really quick question about the open day at ucl if anyone's been to one
what did people wear? is it really formal (so suits) or just casual? my email said i had an offer but a condition of that was i attended the open day, so i don't have an assessment or anything.
please help - it's tomorrow!

I love you. Honest.

oh and you can always beg to take other modules and they will probably let you .


... they do that?:eek:
I'm confused because it says I have a conditional offer of ABB for Leeds when my predicted grades are BBB
I thought they would either reject me or give me my slightly lower grade with the access scheme :s-smilie:

It means if you firm it, then you have to get ABB on results day.

sometimes, but you really have to beg( in your last year only 75% has to be bio). You could also attend the maths lectures although it wont count towards your degree.
My dream uni is the only one I'm waiting on now. Checking Track like mad, even though it's only two weeks today since my app went off :frown:

Is Biology and Biological Sciences the same?

It depends, some biological science courses have the same course code and course structure of general biology, but others are more medical based so you need to check the structures.

Hi everyone, I've just received my second offer for biology, so exciting!
Just got an offer from Warwick. Super relieved.

congrats :smile:
I've got 4/5 of my offers, just waiting on Reading now but I'm sure most of the courses I applied to weren't as competitive as everyone else's and I hope everyone gets their first choice.
I'm amazed that Leeds has given me an offer so fast because I don't even meet what they're asking, but it certainly gives me motivation to try get an A :smile:
I'm going to be upset if I don't get in because Leeds is my top choice...

I've gotten offers for Edinburgh, York and Bristol for microbiology/immunology, but unsure which one to choose! all of them seem really good and I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice?
