UCL Information Management for Business 2012 Applicants Thread

Hi, I'm dead set on applying to 5 universities for the ITMB degree but i'm not sure whether UCL would accept me with my current grades. Any help or reassurances would be appreciated, I got the following:

OCR Nationals Level 3 course - Distinction, Distinction (Equiv. to 2 A's / 240pts)
Business Studies A Level - A (162/200 marks, 80/80 on 1st exam F291)
History A Level - D (111/200 marks, very disappointed with this)

I plan on getting my History A Level remarked in an attempt to bump it to a C as i feel like i've been quite harshly marked along with the 2nd Business Studies exam I did called F292 to strengthen my chances of maintaining an A next year...

What do you think? Would AAAD be good enough to get into UCL? Hopefully once remarked it will be AAAC, but I do plan on dropping History so that will only be at AS. Any help appreciated, thanks. And would dropping History next year affect my chances of being accepted greatly?

That's fine.. are you considering to drop a subject?

Yay!! I got a confirmation for this course...who else will be joining the imb course this september???

hi i what offer were you given for this course?

Hi there,

I do!, apparently we're supposed to move into accomodation on the 22nd and enrol on the 24th, i don't have any clue on when we actually start though but i'm actually quite excited

yh 24th sep is enrolement day..im kinda nervous but excited too :P
i think we properly start in early october?

Yeah the first week is just freshers, timetabled lectures are not until 1st October and even then it will just be introductory stuff at first

what do we actually do in the freshers week..is it compulsary to come every single day of the freshers week? plz give more info on this

Not much, a few introductory bits and pieces. You might get away with not coming in everyday. I think they avoid putting stuff too early in the morning as generally everyone is hungover anyway.

Afraid I cant give exact info as it changes every year.

when do we find out what we need to buy specifically for the course in terms of text books etc? & are their a lot of text books we have to buy..i hope its not like my sociology A level humongous text book..that'll be a pain to carry around lol

During the first week I think. There are lots of books you Can buy but to be honest you don't have to. Some of the books are huge though. Have fun with Absolute Java. Its about 600 pages I think.

Yay!! I got a confirmation for this course...who else will be joining the imb course this september???

600 pages, i'm already panicking!, but I guess it's got to be done.
