grats, whats the offer? :smile:

A*A*AA, which is okay I guess.

Is there anyone I can email in UCL to ask about reasons for rejection?

I got rejected from UCL for Comp Sci, but I got an offer from Imperial for Comp Sci... #stronglogic

SAME

This is 100% bs, I got AAAA @ AS in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry, and I'm taking (the same) 4 A2s. What more do they want?!

They've left it to the last minute, run out of time to process everyone, and auto-rejected us all.

Not really upset as I've got Imperial.... but still seems stupid. Highly doubt my application was even looked at.

Useless ***** who didn't even consider us, just batch-rejected everyone who they couldn't be bothered to look at.

My academic record was almsot flawless as far as a computer science application goes. People on "Connect" who got Bs at AS have received offers... :mad:

Edit: I'm emailing them now, asking for specific reasons why I was rejected and lightly suggesting my application wasn't fairly considered. You guys should do the same :wink:

I totally get everyone's frustration but not everything is about the grades. 'Flawless academic records' won't alone get you offers. You have to obviously show your passion and willingness for the subject.
I get that you should have been given an offer but grades are not everything.

On my personal statement, I included everything from working at a computer shop for three years to creating my own java programs that "inspired" me about topics that you can find on UCL's course syllabus. I mentioned books that I'd read, relevant work that I'd done in school, lectures I'd watched, events I'd visited.

I know what you mean... but no.

Sorry about the rejection! That sounds amazing! I'm sure they're are missing out on having a student like you tbh. Some universities have a strange way of doing things. What I think is annoying is how they have left everything so late, I applied at the beginning of October and still haven't heard - my application is still on 'received'. So if I wanted to go through Extra or something, places have already gone. What takes them so long to decline.
I've seen they haven't even opened my application yet to consider it, so if I get declined I will be annoyed that they sort of 'rushed it'.
I totally understand your frustration! Was UCL your first choice?

Has anyone heard from the Geography Dep...I'm getting so bored of waiting and might withdraw my application so I can firm accommodation at other Uni's.

There's a contact form on their "About Us" page, and also the head of admissions under the "People" bit.

What's not to understand :smile:

I'm not trying to get anything changed (Imperial FTW) but I was just gonna see what they respond.

Does studying an A level in a MFL put you at an advantage when applying at UCL ?
