Chemistry 2012 Applicants

I was there on the 20th of March, we was all in the big hall having interviews while they had stuff going on around the edges.

Oh thats good then glad to hear it went well. It was good thanks, he didn't actually ask me anything testing at all. Most of it was about my personal statement which had nothing to do with Chemistry! The only question he did ask about it was "So what are you enjoying in Chemistry at the moment?" so it was a really laid back interview. I also got offered a place so it must have gone well

Did you receive and offer from them?

Haha atleast it went well and you got the offer
Yep glad to say i got an offer too, phew. I'm planning on making it my insurance, what about you?

AS grades guys?

AS grades guys?

I got ABBB, and am predicted AAB

Just firmed Bristol and insured York yay anyone else pick those?

Ah ok, do you think ABBB will be good enough for UCL?
How was your interview!?
(by the way so jealous of u getting an offer from UCL!)

UCLs minimum requirement is AAA.

However, I received an AB offer from UCL because I did A Level math a year in advance and got an A*.... so that might have been a contributing factor to the slightly lower offer.

Ive seen people getting offers from UCL with less than AAA at AS level, unless you mean A2?

Why decline ox

Yes, at A2.

Yep i think so, since they gave me an offer.
At the interview they said that the chemistry department takes a range of grades because each person is different. So the grades ABBB at AS should be ok, but honestly i was suprised myself that they even gave me an interview.

I think getting in depends a lot on your personal statement too which is probably i got an interview. The interview itself was laid back and sort of like a half open day too. We had an intro talk then sat through a lecture and had to answer questions on it later, then had our actual interview and a tour of the university. Overall it wasn't bad at all, people were really nice over there.

Haha, well i wasn't expecting it either and they gave my an offer for ABB so i really believe personal statement and interviews count not just grades

Hope that helped
