Cool is it worth applying to UCL for psychology?
 
hey...
i was wondering if it was worth applying to UCL for psychology when i got only ABBC for AS. I already did my resit and i think it went well. Which brings me to my next question...my resit results come out after i send my ucas application therefore how will they know my resit results???
will they just see the ABBC??!?!?
PLS just tell me they rely only on the predicted grades...

btw i got:
History - A
Sociology - B (resitted i'm pretty sure i got a A for it )
Chemistry - B
Biology - C (going to resit)

btw do u think they will lower the grade entry if i'm taking 2 sciences? cuz warwick offers BBBB for 2 science subjects.
thx

I didn't apply for UCL. My teacher told me that they wanted a lot of A*'s at GCSE. They will probably look for all A's at AS level and all A's predicted for A2. They will like you have a few science's, but will still expect all A's predicted and gained. They have loads of applicants who are all well qualified. So my advice would not be to waste and application and go somewhere like Warwick (still highly regarded) but at the end, it's YOUR choice. So do what you want. I think you'll be making the admissions tutor's job very easy = bin.

Good Luck with your application.
