Anyone got offer for Economics??? My friend has got offer for biomedical science last night!!!! I start to become worried

I think UCL will begin sending offers for Economics/Economics and Statistics/Maths Courses in December.

Why?

Msci or Bsc
Which qualifications do you have?!
Congratulations!

Congratulations! That's brilliant news. Have you applied for BMS elsewhere; are UCL your first response?

It's so great to see a first year student her! How do you find the lectures? They're very intense in content! The quality of a lecture depends very much on the lecturer, and we have mostly got witty and enthusiastic lecturers. If you like chemistry, this course is for you.

And how many hours of lab works do you need to do in first year?
In the first term of first year, we do 3 biochem and 3 chemistry wet labs. Each lab is between 2 and 3 hours, but you can leave early if you finish before then. You have to attend every lab (or reschedule if you miss) otherwise you get an "incomplete" for your module and could fail it. I can't speak for second and third term because they haven the told us yet 😂

What's the biggest challenges you faced when you first start studying neuroscience course in the uni?
Probably the volume of content and deadlines. We've already done an essay, E-tutorial quiz and MCQ that count toward a our final grades. We have group project at the moment and a chemistry test next week. From what I've heard from second years, it only gets worse from here haha.

I'm applying in the gap year, are ther useful preparations I can do?
Just practice reading about science and keep up with scientific discoveries in the news. There was a video series online from Harvard X about neuroscience, that was so helpful in giving me an idea of some of the things we'd learn about (like the Nernst potential and some terminology like EPSPs that you don't generally use before uni).

Hey! I have a friend who's a first year neuroscience student at UCL Would you say you know most of the other neuro kids?
