Hi guys,

I've been invited to an open day at UCL :biggrin:

(for human sciences). Does this mean that I'm getting an offer? Anyone else in this situation? Anyone else applying for human sciences? :smile:

Open day invitation =/= an offer. It means that you're considered potentially worthy of an offer, but more testing is required first in terms of specific subject interest/aptitude.

did anyone else get this UCL's Under-18 Policy email? or am I the only one under 18 here? :eek:

But there's no interview, and no aptitude tests, and surely they can't "judge" everyone at an open day...can they? :eek:

I'm just about to turn 17 :frown:

uhm it's just an email explaining admission policy and age restrictions for under 18s. there's also a parental agreement form.

if you've received an offer you should've got one. I got it right before I got my Track update email.

hey congrats!!! ps what was the assessment day like, im going to the next one, is it a formal interview?

Thanks! No, it wasn't a formal interview at all; there was an hour-long talk and Q&A about ESPS, we took the TSA, there were small discussion groups about an article (which didn't count towards their decision, I believe), and we had the chance to chat with current students. The TSA is really the main bit, though. Good luck!

omg 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

Yeah, I do remember you! I think I only spoke once, because my brain was still fried from the TSA, haha. Do you know your conditions yet?

I had a written test on the talk that was given by the lecturer - is that not the same for your case?

I just got an offer for Mathematics and Physics MSci! I'm very excited. I'm from Canada and so I didn't need to have an interview or test.
Does anybody know how much tuition and living expenses are for UCL international students? This is not specified on their website.

Written test?! :eek:

Well, it's never been done before, and it didn't say anything about it in my email.
All it said was where to meet, and that we would have a small lecture, lunch, and be shown around?

Yup, I got it too :smile:

The email does say "for applicants under 17 and 3 months at the start of their degree", but if you're turning 17 soon...

Edit: Actually, reading your above post, it sounds like you got quite a different email to me. Hmmm...

Just a few questions asking about our thoughts for accomodation and legal guardians. If you'll have turned 18 by the start of your degree, you don't need the email :biggrin:

I'm 16 and I've not got that?! Is that meant for only successful candidates? Well I suppose so... Ah, it's good to find that I'm not the only one who'll start uni at 17 then... :wink:
