    what is the UCL questionnaire? I got an email a few days ago with questions on Chemistry (that's the course I applied for)
    and I have to reply within 7 days. Is that the questionnaire?

    Oh, hadn't heard about the questionnaire. Is there one for each course?

    I'm not sure. I haven't gotten one (CompSci) and the last time I heard from UCL was weeks ago.

    Thanks, glad to hear so.
    I guess it might be a good sign to receive one, but it would stress me out.

    Yeah, I'm currently crossing my fingers and hoping I don't have to fill one out. I hate forms. ._.

    I got a biochemical engineering interview invitation yesterday, but I had to postpone because it's during my exam period. anyone else in the same situation?
    Hey, when did you send your application? I've applied for biochem engineering too, but I have got nothing but acknowledgements from them so far.

    Well I was given an interview just before Christmas but to be honest I wouldn't read too much into it. My interview is on th 18th Jan but its proably just a case of getting through the applications since they get so many so I shouldn't worry
    Were you asked for your UMS and module details before they gave you an interview?

    Would you be accepting the offer? what are your other college/subject choices? Do you do AP/SAT kind of a curriculum?

    goodluck.

    goodluck.

    I applied to five universities for nearly the same subject: Chemical Engineering(4 years master), namely: Cambridge, Imperial, UCL,Manchester and Sheffield. So far, I have received unconditional offers for the last three choices. I am pooling by Downing college while invited for an interview from Imperial. I scored seven 5 for AP and full marks for SAT MATH 2, Chem and physics. But still, AP/SAT is not compulsory for our curriculum. We have our own high school diploma, just like any American unis...If you are interested to know more, you can google my school: NUS High School of Math and Science.

    Me too, I'm not UCL's usual standard at all, but they still sent me the questionnaire. If we both get rejected, we'll both have a little party together! haha

    Think positive!!!
    haha seriously, I'm an average student at best and only applied because it's one of the 3 unis in Central London that I'd actually consider lol
