mate just apply im sure there's others in your position who are probably thinking the same they shouldn't apply


yeah i think you should still go for it.. usually when unis impliment a new system they're not as harsh as they will be a few more years down the line so i think you should try too :smile:

LOOL u sound like a stalker now, i am from slough grammar :smile:

i ddint go to their open day this year, didnt apply last year and got 675 in my ukcat

wbu? and how did u know/assume im from slough grammar?


lol yeah sorry :P i realised that when i posted haha!

ahh ok, i got 675 last year and had an interview with 3As prediction and A at AS.. tbh this new system shouldn't make much of a difference because grades are the same in tariff points or not if that makes sense? like AAA and AAA* would be seen in the same view if just looked at like that, or in numerical form.. ok i dont think im making sense :tongue: anyways, work experience etc is important too. i reckon you would get an interview in your situation, go for it!

im not applying there this year. was just a guessss

i got interviews at bham, king's and cardiff too. offer from cardiff, waiting list for king's but i didn't get 3As in the end.. i messed up my qmul and bham interviews big time
ahh i hope you can make some sense of it once you speak to them, such a stupid system if it is what they're planning on doing :/ ask them how much they look at the ukcat now too
