UCL September 2015 Applicants

10th of October

Who's applying for Physics?

Me! I've applied for MPhys Theoretical Physics. Got an email nearly 3 weeks ago saying that my application was under consideration but nothing since...

I got my confirmation letter last week, when did you apply? And is UCL your first choice?

I applied on the 24th October, and yes it is! you?

Well I applied on the 21st of November, and I'm not sure, I got an offer from Warwick and I'm disputing on which one to firm!

They're both great for physics, so just go with the one you like the most I guess? I have an offer from Birmingham and an unconditional from Kings so if I don't get UCL then I'm undecided between those two

Anyone here applying for Earth sciences?

That's soo cool, Im still waiting on Birmingham and Kings , and is the UCL Physics department really that good? Because I've never heard of UCL being special in Physics, and by the way, I've never actually visited it , I'm just going by what I hear

Neither have I! I don't pay much attention to league tables and whatnot, but it is quite high up from what I've seen, so I'm assuming it's decent. If you get invited to open/applicant days then definitely go because it will be worth it to see which uni you like the best.

Sounds good, yeah I will, if we get offers, UCL are probably going to ask us for an interview so I can see it then.

Yeah that's the likelihood!

I think that since it is a new course we may have to wait until Jan, but LSE have already started giving out PPE offers to some despite it being new as well so I'm hoping they may possibly send out a few offers before Christmas - but it is very unlikely!

What about Law? Any offers here?

I have also applied for PPE at KCL, and they haven't been giving out offers yet (as far as I can tell), so I think it's likely that they want to see all the applicants qualifications before giving out offers. Although I think in the case of LSE, they have similar subjects to PPE (Philosophy and Economics, Government and Politics, etc.), so I think they have a sense of how their applicant pool is going to be. In contrast, the closest thing UCL has to PPE is just Philosophy and Economics. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Yup.

That actually sounds right but the wait is still horrible. Where else have you applied?
