But I am preparing by just reading up a little on the course, doing some online course :biggrin: - and I have been interning at a consultancy to help familiarize myself with the business elements/

Aha why not now :tongue:?

Yeah, it's a grim, I really don't know the tone to take within the personal statement aha!

Reading, so much reading! I've got a few books that I'd like to read. Also practising for the LNAT as well.

Man, I miss the summer that I had during GCSEs!
So after getting your results, is everyone still going to apply to UCL?

I attained AAAA but my UMS average isn't very good so I'm not sure if I should apply to pure econ or econ and stats. :/

UCL don't ask for UMS marks, they'll only see that you have 4 As. Obviously, economics at UCL is really competitive, so I wouldn't worry about UMS maarten and focus more on your personal statement.

Ah, that was only launched last month. Lots of people who applied for 2012 entrance didn't get made an offer due to not fulfilling the language requirement. That's probably why they introduced this language course.

Lucky for me, I was at UCL before they introduced this language requirement.


I heard from the Statistics department admissions that you can still get an offer without a language GCSE but you will be required to complete a half module in year 1. If this is not true then there isn't much point of me applying! :confused:

Last year for econ they requested UMS scores for individual units.
Will not having a foreign language GCSE adversely affect my chances at being made an offer from UCL? It wasn't clear from their website whether it was an essential requirement or not.

It says that if you don't have it, you will have to do a module/half module during first year.

Hello everyone!
I'm an international student planing on applying for Archaeology at UCL!
Anyone else applying? :smile:


This was posted from The Student Room's iPhone/iPad App


Heeey, I'm applying to the Classical Archaeology and Classical Civilisation course! Really hope I get accepted, I'd love to go to UCL
I've done my best to fix the stalking page.

I'm still deliberating about certain universities, UCL included. Something seems quite odd about applying to both UCL and Imperial but I'm trying to stop that feeling from interfering with my decision.
