    I recall a Biochemistry admissions tutor, at an open day, when asked by me about maths UMS, he said he overheard the maths admissions tutor talking and last year they had a cut-off of 93%. So apparently only people with above an average of 93% or above in all maths modules were considered. He also said, because they had too many people, the cut off is likely to go up this year..
    Just shows how insanely competitive it is I guess..
    I hope not, I have 92 average and that would be mean

    September 21st It may be because I'm an international student (Sweden) that it's this early, though I'm not quite sure why that would be.

    Also, thanks for all the congratulations

    Yes

    "Upon application students are asked to supply details of grades and, more importantly, marks achieved in Mathematics and Further Mathematics modules that they have sat when filling out the Qualifications section of the UCAS application."

    (And I took it to mean: Include Additional Further Maths modules too! XD)

    It seems that the mathematics faculty is very strict on their standards... It is a lucky thing that I didn't apply for Mathematics and Economics

    Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 Entry
    Hi I'm applying for Psychology.
    I didn't know that I could add my UMS marks on my application I only added the grades I got for each module.. Do you think I should get my application back from my referee and change it? Or will they be able to find out what I got exactly themselves?

    Thanks.
