    Does anyone have any idea how UCL react if you dont make your offer, starting to worry!
    On the letter I got after my offer, it says if you don't meet the grades they'll automatically reconsider you. It also says that you shouldn't contact them about it as it'll only slow down the process! Good luck

    I already asked them, they told me that it depends on many factors but "It is probably safest to assume that if you do not satisfy the offer exactly we will not be able to admit you."

    Not really. All I know for sure is that I'm definitely not going to a hall. I'm torn between a regular single room and an en-suite, though. I've heard bad things about the shared toilets... I'll try to get get some advice from friends at UCL soon enough. How about you, have you got yours sorted?

    Still awating a reply?
    I have received an answer/offer form every university I have applied to, however I am still awaiting an answer from UCL. Is this normal?

    I did contact the Head of Department, and they told me that they are still awaiting my papers. What to do? Any general advice?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do people who put UCL as their insurance have to apply for accommodation? Because I haven't received any information concerning accommodation

    So I firmed UCL and then applied for accommodation on the 22nd of April, yet I never got a confirmation email saying that they got my application. Has this happened to anyone else? I emailed them about a week ago asking them if it was normal I hadn't received anything but I never got a reply.

    Hi, the same thing happened to me. I didn't get the same mail regarding accommodation.
