8 Most Difficult UK Universities To Get Into

Ok, I know you cant be thick, but grades are a different matter - on the websites they say they have no real entry requirements. Basically all i was saying was that entry in to university (especially places like oxford) is based almost completely on academia, but for drama school its hugely based on talent. I have a few friends who go to RADA and Central already as well.

so drama schools are equally as difficult to get into as places like oxbridge then? just because the "entry requirements" differ, doesnt make them different in terms of difficulty to get into them.
so my point is, central, as it is part of uni of london, and the other drama schools are their own "schools" with diplomas rather than degrees like central does, should be in the top 8 list for difficulty to get into because of the high applicationlaces ratio, talent needed, grades required, and all the hokum with interviews and portflios/essay/project/workshops having to be undertaken first. even oxbridge dont ask for all the stuff drama schools require.

Well here we go in to a whole different matter; do we need to work to get talent or is it just 'in us' naturally? And what makes something hard? Anyway the basic flaw is that they are not universities so they couldnt get in to top 8. Universities and drama schools have completely different requirements. Anyway the last person I saw go to drama school hardly did any work at all! Look out for a guy called Matt Williams - he'll be in your class (I was just in a play wid him in the Theatre royal, Bath).

matt williams- he's gonna be on my performance arts course starting this year? if so i shall indeed be working with him and get to know him quite well as there are only 9 of us lol.

All i know is hes doing the full drama course - not completely sure which one!

Look at average UCAS points (for the average person) for each uni and i spose the highest, the hardest to get in to.

I'm not sure that Edinburgh really is that selective. Law and Medicine are ridiculously competitive but overall I think they have about 6 applicants per place (although Oxford and Cambridge only have about four applicants per place, so that may not be the best way to judge it) and at least 50 people out of a sixth year of perhaps 150 people get in every year from the school I went to - and I'm only talking about those who actually chose Edinburgh as their firm offer.

we were told at our school than unless you were absolutely heart set on edinburgh we shouldn't bother applying because apparantly edinburgh will hugely favour scottish candidates over english ones and so if your english its just really difficult to get into

I think the hardest universities to get into, are ones where for a particular course, entry requirements take into account GCSE's and A-Levels, plus an entry test. Then an interview, then pooling. That process for an AAA course at say Cambridge, is far more difficult to get into than the equivalent course, with still an AAA requirement at say Sussex or Exeter.

they do, trust me.

Suppose you could base it on average point scores to get in :|

But probably 'easier' to say which course is more applied to then the uni

My course i applied to had nearing 4000 applicants they told us with over 25:1 place
