oh and at some point during our talk we were told 'this isn't really an open day... more like an open interview!'
Just in case this freaks you our, they were lying. It wasn't an interview :P


I very nearly had a panic attack at this point :P

Didn't you get the offer as soon as you attended? or did they state that you were going to hear afterwards? x


Got told in the open day that we were all to receive offers but still haven't heard anything through ucas... Oh dear!x

I've visited UCL so many times, and I love it more each time I go! I'd say firm UCL but i'm pretty biased, seeing as I've firmed it myself :biggrin: hope the offer comes through sooon x

Hey, I hope you don't mind my asking, but were there any mature students on your open day?

I did post somewhere else, but got zero response. :frown:

Congrats, btw.

Hi :smile: Thanks! Well, I only spoke to a few people on the open day, but there were a few mature students applying for a different course, I think. Though they still were looking around the psych department so I was a little confused as to what they were planning on studying. Apart from that everyone either was in year 13 or on a gap year. Hope this helps.

Good luck with your application x

I've got an interview to an open day but its not until 23rd march and I'll be travelling. Do we have to attend an open day to be considered, as it says they make the decision after the open day? Will I get a rejection if I don't attend?


The email explicitly states that (unless you are a registered over seas candidate) failure to attend the open day will result in you not being considered for a place. If you've already booked i guess you should contact ms.imbuzan, the woman who would have sent you the email ... not worth risking!

don't worry, I spent aaaaaages being like 'where is UCL with that offer they promised me' but they're just slow. Well done with the offer!

Hey, babycakes is right- there weren't any mature students at our open day as far as I could tell, but UCL told us they're giving out 173 offers this year and there were only 25 people there so I wouldn't think it was a particularly accurate picture.

Quite probably lots of the mature students that get offers are also international, and therefore not required to go to an open day. Or, maybe some people got unconditional offers and had an open day earlier in the year? Oh and also if there were any mature students there I might have assumed they were people's parents. So don't give up!

Thanks!!! I'm an international student, so they didn't ask me to attend any... :tongue: And my offer's a bit different. They only required three of my subjects in the final year to be 6. They didn't say which one, so I guess that leaves me to decide? (Our scale is 1-6)

They enter it on Tuesday, won't come through for a couple of weeks yet!
Hi all! Mind if I ask anyone of you is an international student doing foundation course?

Mine is unsuccesful and I just wonder if UCL accepts any foundation students and what subjects they take.

I personally do Psychology, Biology and Further Mathematics and I was predicted with all As. And I got 7.5 in IELTS.

Really down now coz UCL was supposed to be my first choice. Right now I gogt conditional offers from Loughborough and Leicester and I'm nervous about Bath.

Cheers!
