Do I have a chance for IR at QMUL?

I'm an international student, and my predicted grades are the A-level equivalent of AAB. Would this be good enough for International Relations at QMUL? And what if I mess up and get just ABB?

Thanks.

Hey I am a London student and I applied to IR with ABB prediction and I got an offer from them for ABB hope that puts you at ease a bit

Yes, it does! Thank you for the reply.

When did you apply? Was it your first choice?

I applied back in mid November and its quite high in my choices yeah

Were you rejected from KCL or UCL? Those are my first choices. I'm hoping to get in with AAB.

I didn't apply to KCL but I did apply to UCL and I am still awaiting a response from them

What subject did you apply for? And how come you didn't apply to KCL?

Are you expecting to get an offer? Please keep me updated!

At UCL I applied to Politics and Eastern European studies which seems like a good course. I wanted to apply to KCL but my predicted grades weren't as high as the grades needed for that course. I would have loved to have applied if I had the grades
Erm I shall stay optimistic about getting and offer from UCL and of course I will

OMG that is my top choice, as well I swear, if you get in with ABB I'll be soo happy.. I really hope you'll get in! (but let's be fair, your chances are reaaally slim, right? I mean, their website says AAA-AAB.. and I actually emailed them about it and they said the majority of offers are for AAA).

Do you have any relevant background? I'm half Russian myself. And what course did you want to apply for at KCL? I thought KCL was easier than UCL (I mean, it performs worse in rankings..)

I got into IR at QMUL with BBC.







That was in 2008 however...

Thanks, I would be ecstatic if I get an offer but even if I don't I am really happy with the other offers which I am currently holding. Kings College is a good uni but for their International Relations course they are asking AAA which is a bit out of my reach.
Not particularly any relevant background just an interest in Eastern Europe and Politics of course

It's seriously gone up that much??

Pretty much - it increased the year after I started. The reputation of the Politics department jumped up in the rankings, and then it joined the Russell group.. so yeah. When I applied the grade requirements were BBB.

That's crazy. I don't know how to feel about this!

So, what did you think of the course? Was it good? Lots of hard work?

In what way?

I transferred to Politics in second year - they have almost identical course structures so it wasn't difficult (or they did then anyway).

It was good - great staff, challenging, it's a good degree at a good university and I really enjoyed it. Certainly no regrets, lots of hard work but I think you get that with any decent degree.

And for what it's worth, lots of alumni from Politics/IR at QMUL have some pretty good jobs after.

Don't you find it strange that UCL asks for less than KCL, though? I mean, it could seem like KCL is asking for more than it should. Are you sure people can't get an offer for that course with less than AAA?
