"All candidates must offer GCSE (or O-level from a UK examination board) at grade B or above in both English
Language and Mathematics. IGCSE at grade B, a score of 5 as part of the International Baccalaureate diploma or
8.5 in the European Baccalaureate are also acceptable to fulfil the Mathematics and English Language
requirements.
If English is not your first language then an alternative English Language test may be offered
(preferably IELTS)
From 2012 UCL expects all UK applicants to offer a modern foreign language at GCSE grade C or equivalent.
This requirement does not apply to international students who are already bilingual due to speaking both English
and the language of their home country. Candidates may be admitted if they do not offer a modern foreign
language GCSE, but would be obliged to take a language course as part of the medical degree programme during
their first year so as to meet the language requirement of UCL."

But obviously it's better if you have higher.

Thursday before that. Don't think that even the medical department is that efficient. I was meant to have my interview the week before that, but my cousin is interviewing, and they didn't want there to be a chance I might have her!

I'm predicted 40, and my offer is 40 with 666 at HL. I should (hopefully) be fine with the higher levels, but its annoying that its so high. UCL was my first choice but now i have to re-think it.

you could always firm UCL and have a lower offer as your insurance?

Hi this is my first post :-) i'm a year 11 pupil and i would really like to study medicine at ucl. I'm just concerned that my grades aren't good enough. These are the grades i'll probably end up getting.

Maths A/B
English lit A/A*
English lang A
Statistics B :frown:

Biology A
Chemistry A/A*
Physics A
Health and social (btec double) distinction*, distinction
IT A
Textiles A
R.E A*
German B

Something like 3 A*s 8 As and 2 Bs
I'm really confused and could really use some advice. Thanks!

I'm abserloutly panicking. Havnt heard a word from UCL, and they've probably already given out all their interviews. I just wish they didn't take so long to just reject me, and end the torment I'm going through :'(

Hey there,

I found out that UCL wants applicatants to have a MFL at gcse. Unfornatualy I didn't know about that since a month ago and I am now doing AS.

DO you reckon they would be fine with it if I speak german fluently because I lived there for more than 10 yrs and did my high school there. Or are requirements, requirements and I get a straight rejection for a little mistake.

Last week of Feb to the 2nd week of March would be my best guess. I know that in itself is a really broad window for interview invites, but it really does depend on how many offers they've given out so far. They could cut it off sooner if they give out more than expected or the interview period could drag out longer than published as they haven't dished out as many offers.

Oh wow thats soon! so at the point at which they stop inviting to interview will they just reject everyone remaining who wasnt invited, in one big batch?
