    'Due to the intense competition for places on this course,
    UCL can only offer places to those it considers to be the
    best applicants. Regrettably, your UCAS application was
    judged to be not as strong as that of other applicants.'

    Well, I'm not too torn up about it because I knew it was a bit of a stretch! I just wish I wouldn't have had to wait so long for the rejection! I almost do wish I had applied to somewhere a little more attainable so I hadn't wasted my time worrying over it.

    Good luck to anyone who is still waiting to hear back
    Sorry to hear that

    Thanks! It's fine really. I wrote a list of why it's good that I won't go to UCL. And it mostly comes down to the fact that all my other universities will be much cheaper in the long run. So I'm staying positive. :P
    Hope you do get an offer from UCL though!

    Got an offer for Economics & Geography this morning.
    Deciding between Geography with economics (LSE) or Economics & Geography (UCL)
    Not sure which to go for as they are both unconditional offers.

    Lucky you, congratulations! If you are not LSE-maniac, choose the more interesting programme. If you are... you know what to do.
