The "Are my grades good enough for Maths..." Thread

I've already posted, but no one replied so here goes again...
GCSE: 8A*'S, 2A's, B

A Levels:
A* - Maths (full A Level)
A - Chemistry (AS)
A - Biology (AS)
So this year I'll be taking a full A Level in Further Maths and I've dropped Biology.
My predictions should be A*A*A

Oxford
UCL/LSE (Maths/Economics course with emphasis on Maths)
Warwick
Imperial
Bristol/Bath

Module scores - C1-86, C2-95, S1-74, M1-89, C3-88, C4-100

Uni prep is coming along quite nicely. Basically done PS, just doing a few tweaks. You?

Well still preparing for STEP, but prioritising finishing C4 first (nearly finished 4th chapter) Practically finished Personal statement. And UCAS is off in 2 weeks :eek:

Staring into space

I ended up with Warwick as my Firm and Kings as my insurance, missed out on my Step grade so I'm at Kings now, I would recommend Bath as your final choice.

Ahhhhh.....Unlucky about STEP. Was it by much that you missed out? Yeah I'm probably going with Bath now! :woo:

Aiming for AABa.

I'll be 21 on entry so a mature student which the prospectuses seem to say affects the offer. Had some 'problems' which have been mentioned in my PS to explain age. Been to college once for 2 years, took a year off, found a new college and I'm doing this now. In second year of 'new' college.

Looking to apply for MMath in Maths(obv) at;

What ASes did you get?

Not brilliant so I won't be cashing them in.
Got B in Maths and I can't resit because I switched board.
Further Maths is in progress, doing most in one year.
Economics. Got a B for the first unit not so great for the second, a resit.
It's hardly ideal obviously but I'm in the progress of writing a great Personal Statement then all I can do is let the teachers write my Reference and state my predicteds

Bristol? If you're serious about IB LSE for a joint degree (although getting in will be a mission with your GCSEs) and failing that any city university and a massive effort on the networking front.

Thanks, mate. Isn't Bristol supposed to be like ultra hard to get in for maths? Also LSE is out of the question since my GCSE's absolutely suck :frown:

. And I'm definately gonna aim for a 1:1,2;1 and go do a masters at oxbridge so Undergrad at the moment I'm not gonna try VERY hard to get into for. Hopefully I will get an offer from Warwick though for MORSE, then I'll be happy. Hopefully UCL too. :woo:

GCSEs: A*AAAAAABBC
ASs: AAAAA (Maths, FM, Physics, Computing, General Studies)
Predicted: A*(A*/A)(A*/A)A

I'm applying to Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Durham and Manchester.

My GCSEs are sub-par for the universities I'm applying to, and I'm wondering with the very high application :redface:

ffer ratios these unis have for maths, if they have some sort of filter for GCSE results which would significantly lessen my chances of an offer. I'm particularly thinking about Imperial, UCL and Durham when I say this, and could someone suggest alternatives if this is the case.

PMed some guy but I'll ask here also. How difficult are Bristol/Bath/St Andrews maths offers to get with 90%s at AS and some A*s at GCSE?

I'm wondering whether I need to find a safer choice.

I don't know if that 90% applies to all your AS levels or just your maths but I'd say you have a decent chance just remember you should probably do AEA or STEP I at least
