***Official 2012 Neuroscience Applicants

Original post by corpuscallosum

anyone know when ucl start giving out neuro offers? i know people who have medicine offers from ucl, and my friend has an interview or chemistry with maths..

Have you had an interview yet? In my experience it was very soon after the interview (In my, personal case, literally 3 days), but I know the dramatic increase in the number of applications may have slightly changed how they do things.
Edit: I think the earliest interview days I can remember were November/December, the final days won't have been finalized yet. You may already have had one if they're doing things a bit differently, though.

Hey guys
I'm applying to Bristol and Nottingham for neuroscience, Manchester for neuroscience with German and Newcastle and Sussex for biomedical sciences.
My AS levels weren't great - ABCC (German, bology, chemistry and maths) but my predicted are AAC.
Oh and my school haven't sent off my UCAS yet :frown:

should get done next week though

On the same boat, I just can't seem to get my personal statement right, but I really need get it together and send off asap. Send it off in the first half of November and I you'll be fine though

.....just out of curiosity, what did you put down as your fifth choice?

ah thats reassuring to hear..

I put keele dual honours biochem with neuroscience but to be honest i'd rather go into clearing than having keele as my only uni offer...If your stuck deciding a fifth, try dundee? they only ask for BBB I think and it looked a lot better than keele on the open day

They're all pretty great schools. Have you considered putting a relatively easy option down as a backup, IE a biomedical sciences course or something?

AAB, just at the lower boundary of their acceptance range so I thought I may as well go for it. Should probably send off UCAS soon aha.
