Unsuccessful application :(

Well I'm not an engineering expert, but surely As in Maths and Physics would look better than As in German and ICT. You're probably competing with people with these grades and more.
What were your predicted grades?
Call them and ask them why they rejected you, you might get an insight into why.

Good luck with your other choices!

3 things to think about

1. this year is incredibly competitive. theres the rejections from last year, more applicants for uni every year PLUS the fee increase making people panic. UCL is a very good university, and even though you have good grades, theres going to be a hell of a lot of students with three As in maths and physics applying, too. unfortunately thats just how it goes!

2. theres nothing you could do or have done about it. if they dont want you, its not like you can go back in time and change it or convince them otherwise, thats how it happens. maybe you'll go to surrey and be so happy with your course you'll count yourself lucky you didnt go to UCL.

3. Your other unis are not exactly bad in terms of quality/location. wouldnt recommend warwick though, student life is apparently terrible and theres a surprising drop out rate...

cheer up! not the end of the world!

I just got turned down by UCL for civil engineering. I'm soo down now. Applied to Nottingham, Surrey, City, and Warwick as well, but my first choice has turned me down. I feel soo down now

Anyone cheer me up please! I can't even understand the reason, considering my personal statement was "very outstanding" as my English teacher and some other said. My grades were ICT (A), German (A), Maths (B), Physics (C).

Is there still any chance of getting in?



Edit- the reason I'm more down that normal is that last year I got a conditional offer from UCL but despite having AAAA in my first modules of Maths I ended up with an overall B. That just makes me extremely upset now.

Maths (B), Physics (C).

That's why.

Grades aren't good enough, also Chemistry or another science might of helped instead of German or IT. And you don't have Further Maths.

There will be candidates with A's in all those subjects that get turned away, you can't expect to simply waltz in with your only science grade being a C.

You were just unlucky no sense being overly upset not like you were rejected unfairly, like I said there'll be people with straight A's who were turned away it's not a guarantee.

true that loadsa people with amazing grades got rejected
but u dont specifically need further maths i dont think so ..they do want math and atleast physics or chem tho...

The entry requirements are normally AAA with A in Maths and a pass in a science, preferably Physics.

There you go then, you don't have the A in Maths. UCL are very fussy about people retaking, they prefer those who got their grades the first time round.
