GCSE: 98888777765
AS: ABC
Predicted: A*AB
Want to study: Neuroscience (required AAB)
I've sent of my application, do you think I'll get an offer? Also anyone else applying or know anyone in the neuroscience course?
My grandparents live right next to the uni so that's a plus for me, but I'm from London


Your predictions are above the requirements, so it seems there is a good chance.

I'm from Swansea so I know Cardiff quite well, and it was good for my close to home option, also the course sounded incredible and the lecturers were lovely at the open day.


Good luck!
Received my offer to study Computer Science at Cardiff on Friday!! Predicted grades were A*A*AA, was chuffed to bits to get the offer back so soon as this is one of the unis I want to study at the most. Over the moon and can't wait until next year :smile:

Well done! I wish you all the best for your A-Level exams. 🙂
Submitted UCAS nearly 4 weeks ago and am hoping for a response soon!

1) What grades did you get at GCSE? 11A*s, 1A, 1 Distinction
2) What A Levels are you taking from September (or other eligible qualifications)? A Level Maths, Further Maths and Physics
3) What course at Cardiff University are you applying for? MPhys with placement year
4) What attracts you to Cardiff University? Was originally my ‘close to home’ option but visited on open day and fell in love! The atmosphere was lovely and all the staff were amazing and helpful. Definitely my second choice if not first! I really like how they record every single lecture so you can go back and review things that didn’t make sense straight away and play it in 2x speed (:
Applied for Politics and IR on the 16th Oct - nothing yet!

hi,

i've applied for business and management with a year in industry at cardiff. i've already got A grades in both Spanish and Business Studies and am predicted an A in English Language (so will have AAA hopefully) - i'm a 'year 14' student!

I applied on 20th october and was wondering how long it might take to hear back from cardiff? also if anyone else has applied for the same course i'd love to hear what a levels you're studying!

hi, i am just another applicant so might not be right but i heard they wait to give offers until they have received all applications. So that would mean giving out offers around march.

How soon after you applied did you hear back? I'm also applying for Computer Science, with similar predicted grades. Also, Cardiff is quite far from where I live so I haven't had the chance to visit - I was wondering if you had and whether you liked it?
