UCL September 2015 Applicants

I haven't heard, and I sent my application off in SEPTEMBER. Should I be worried?

I'm in a similar position I'm an international student and I sent off my application in early October for Mechanical Engineering. I've got replies from my other four unis, but not UCL

I know how you feel. I'm in the same situation... Applied for Economics and Statistics mid October and still haven't heard anything from them. I'm 90% sure they are going to reject as it has nearly been 5 months since I applied and I know that several people have already gotten offers.

I also emailed them asking about my application status and they gave me a generic 'We have a lot of applicants to deal with' response.

Focus all your efforts to destroy C3 and C4 so you won't have to worry.

What are your backups? Decide if you would be happy to attend one of the unis with an AAA offer (if you have a uni who offered that). Because otherwise, as you said, you might not get in anywhere.
On the other hand if you truly can't imagine going anywhere but Cambridge or UCL than you might as well put UCL as your insurance and then make sure you get that A*!!! They might be lenient, they might not be, so it's more risky.

Which course did you apply for?
I sent mine off on 24th of November and got an offer for Economics L100 on 27th of February.

Wow, congrats! I applied for L100 too, in October, no clue what happened XD If you don't mind, what was your predicted? Thanks

Economics, L100.

I heard that if you firm Oxbridge they may be lenient to you if you insure them but I'm pretty sure that can't be right.

Got an ABB offer in History and Philosophy of Science with ABBD in AS (A in Psychology, B's in RS and History, D in economics) and 2 A* 2A's and 6 B's at GCSE level, predicted AAA. Has anyone looked at accommodation? Which would be the best with a £160 PW budget

I see, good luck then! Where have you applied?
UCL is my insurance so if I don't meet my Cambridge offer you'll probably find me there

Not too long of a wait then. Thank you that is really helpful. I think I'll wait 2 weeks and then drop them an email if i can muster up the courage to do that haha. There seems to be a lot of problems with their admissions department this year! Congratulations on your offer that is such an achievement!! Crossing my fingers for an offer its my first choice eek.
Yeah i think it was ok...was in their for about 35 minutes a lot longer than i expected and we really only spoke about one text with an occasional reference to other texts but still. Also when i got out i realised there was so much more i could have said, annoying but always happens. Think my commentary was quite good think i made some reasonably intelligent points (a lot better than my Cambridge written test which was a disaster ahah). How was your interview when you had it?

Wow!! Cambridge! Good luck!!! I applied to Dundee (no int) and then had interviews from King's, Southampton and Leicester!

You do realise that they have up to May 6th before they have to reply to applications. If you haven't heard by then, you can consider yourself rejected.
Every department in every Uni has different ways of sorting out and then processing their applications and the more prestigious the Uni is and the more competitive the course is will also have a bearing.

I heard from Imperial 3 weeks after application and from Cambridge after about 4 weeks. Why can't UCL be faster than 6 months? Absolutely sick of it.

Would UCL take me on AAA if my offer was A*AA? I want to firm Cambridge but my Cambridge offer is A*AA with an A* in anything - so if I miss that I've missed everything.

That applies to every University although most of them do try and let their applicants know by March 31st. If you have offers from Imperial and Cambridge why are you getting in a tizz about UCL?

There are plenty of others out there who are still waiting for replies as well.

If you are good enough to get an offer from Cambridge, you should be good enough to get an A*.
