Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 EntryOMW, TENSION! I would literally (not literally) kill to get an offer from UCL(Original post by WalkerPrince)
Just called UCL -
Message is that: some offers will be sent this week for Economics, and some next week (?).
But the majority will be after Christmas. So we could hear this week from UCL!
thanks for that ! -
Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 EntryJust got a rejection from UCL. Really gutted, apparently my application just wasn't good enough.(Original post by Beckiix)
I know! There were a few interviews and rejections floating around a few weeks ago but it seems to have gone all quiet now!
Really hope I get an offer from Oxford now to shove in their faces.

Your application probably is very good as you've got an interview at Oxford which is arguably an achievement in itself! Don't put yourself down, it looks like they've been rejecting some incredible applicants! I'd be interested to know, what are your academics like?
Glad I didn't get rejected today though, would have really put me off my interview at QMUL. Am expecting it though too, I have poor GCSEs and dodgy subject choices haha. -
Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 EntryHaha, I'm Irina from Chicago, wore a cream sweater, black jeans, black boots. Were you in my discussion group? G3?(Original post by imon1)

I'm sorry. I hope you do - I know a classmate from last year who got a UCL rejection and then an Oxford offer, so all is not lost!

Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 EntryThank you!(Original post by Beckiix)

I love the rest of my unis so another offer from any one of them would be fantastic, at least I haven't got all my hopes riding on UCL! My GCSEs were 8A*s, 2As and a B, and my A-Level predictions are A*A*A.
How did your interview at QMUL go?
Sure you were absolutely fab
Best of luck for UCL, keeping everything crossed for you!

Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 Entry*hugs* Damn, I've noticed you on the forums (not a stalker, I promise!) and I thought you were a really strong applicant, not sure how they could say your application was too weak. Sorry that it didn't go as you wanted.(Original post by KingMessi)
Rejected without an interview because my application 'wasn't strong enough'.
Best of luck to everyone who's got in/has interviews.
Probably shouldn't have mentioned today that it was a bit quiet on the rejection interview front! Jinxed the whole forum! -
Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 EntryWell if you've been rejected, it's definitely not to do with talent!(Original post by KingMessi)
Same!
I'm sorry. I hope you do - I know a classmate from last year who got a UCL rejection and then an Oxford offer, so all is not lost!
Let's follow their example - next year we'll be in the Bodeleian going 'remember that time we were both rejected from UCL...'

Well, crap. Mine were 9 As and a B. I was a horrible, horrible teenager who was perma-banned from most of her lessons
. My predictions are the same though but if (when) I get rejected I'm fairly sure it'll be because of my academic background. Didn't realise how brutal UCL would be, I think I'd probably find somewhere else if I were to redo this whole process! Live and learn I suppose.
Aaah I phrased that wrong, my interview is tomorrow so I'm glad this hasn't happened tonight to throw me off! Thanks, I really want to study in London so any of KCL/UCL/QMUL would be my dream.

Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 Entryomg yes I was.. But I've forgotten which one you were haha.. do you remember me? I talked about Uganda as my interesting fact, and argued that the Euro crisis was a political problem(Original post by mahassociates)
Haha, I'm Irina from Chicago, wore a cream sweater, black jeans, black boots. Were you in my discussion group? G3? -
Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 EntryAhh I see! Well, I'd also argue that those predictions look a lot more impressive compared to your GCSEs, as in, 'look at how hard they've worked and progressed' - I wouldn't lose hope just yet!(Original post by Beckiix)

Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 EntryHaha, I actually think I'm going to wear jeans. I'll go for smart-casual. I don't think there's much point coming in a suit because I'll probably look overdressed. This isn't really an interview anyway, more a relaxed discussion.(Original post by ak726)
my friends went for science interviews and said ppl were even wearing jeans! -
Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 Entryhey! congratulations, i'm waiting on the response now :/ when did you return the questionnaire?(Original post by Froodles)
I got my questionnaire quite early - about a month ago? A few of my friends just got them last week, so maybe they're staggering them or doing it alphabetically or something.... -
Re: UCL Applicant Thread for 2012 Entryyeah man, i vowed to , and i will.... muhahaha(Original post by Rahul.S)
