warwick CSE (computer systems engineering)

I see you've asked the same question again about its competitiveness. I mean if you've got the grades go for it, If you get rejected it's not the end of the world as you have four other options. Although I don't know about computer systems engineering but I've been seeing some Comp Sci rejections of people with 4 A levels at A*s ish. Although Cs/e might be a little less competitive as it's a bit less well known. At this point you probably can't change your grades but if you're considering Warwick you should already have the grades. Just make sure your personal statement is good.

yeah ive just seen the rejections, scares me a little as there is no way my application is stronger than those with physics/furth maths, which is why im scared of putting down warwick twice. Thinking of just removing cs and leaving cse, but need to know if people actually like the course before i put it down. also i saw the campus in person and it was amazing so im just really hung up on warwick. something within me is saying apply for cs, cse and cyber security but ik thats just the devil talking lmfao

Good luck on finding someone to tell you how the course is. Also I mean a lot of people do the exact same A levels and stuff for CS so I mean they all blend in so you doing something else and still showing your interest might be a good thing. I don't know but don't let you push yourself down due to the rejections of everyone. You'll never know until you try and you should remember how I done the trying for Oxford and we'll see how that pays off so if you really want to go and think you potentially have a shot go for it. Also I remember reading on a thread someone saying if you get accepted into all 5 uni's you probably didn't aim high enough.

Too be honest I'm not too sure. Like I aimed high and I'm satisfied with any of them. I don't really have a number one even if I did get an offer as the accommodations at Oxford aren't great and they just don't have some things I'm looking for. I don't really want to stay in London so that puts Imperial College at the bottom of my list and other then that I'm not too sure. For example I've done the most research into the actual campus of Warwick and I really like how the gym looks and the heronbank Accom area. Edinburgh looks nice but the city apparently expensive. So Warwick may seem like a good choice so I do think it'll end up being between Edinburgh and Warwick.

Also it depends on which course I want to end up committing to as I have an offer for Edinburgh but it's a join course in CS and Physics for a bachelors which will take 4 years. On the other hand Warwick is 4 years for an integrated masters.

oh yeah a masters would defo be good. But for me i think id just get tired by the fourth year and just ready to get some work experience

I'd say it's wayy less competitive to enter;

Everyone just applies for CS these days - most people probably don't even know the CSE course exists as an alternative, and those that do probably prefer the software side more anyway...

Entry requirements are lower too so that's pretty nice. They're the joint-lowest requirements out of all 5 I applied to

Did you apply in the end?

omg hey, yes i did in jan !! i dont have much hope tho coz my physics gcse is abysmal. Hopefully they base it off my predicteds mostly, and i know ww cs department doesnt read personal statements. Have you gotten any decisions yet?

Yep, got offers from Southampton (A*AA/AAAA) and Warwick (A*AA), and a rejection from Cambridge (probs because no further maths or physics)

That is a little rough about the physics, but I'm sure they'd ask for physics ALevel if it were that important. Most unis with a semblance of sanity would look more at the predicteds anyway lol. Really hope you get in tho, good luck! I predict you'll get a decision within the next 2 weeks

Btw, what subjects do you do? Any decisions on your side?

Yeah, I can safely say I wouldn't have liked it much at Camb; just in the application process there was soo much maths I felt like the course would just be pain haha..

I got eight 9s, and an 8 in English lang, which was kind of annoying lol. Still pretty damn good tho, so I was happy
This year unis probably won't place as much weight to GCSE results tho, with Covid and all that messing everything up, so I wouldn't worry about it too much

Congrats on the offers you already got too! UCL I think are just slow, I haven't heard anything back either, and I don't know anyone else who has as well
And of course, I predict you will obtain an offer

Almost definitely Warwick, but I might go UCL or Southampton if I suddenly decide to do CS instead for whatever reason ig
You?

ucl ive heard is 8% for home students. Itd be a miracle if i got in. id pick either ww, bristol or ucl if any takes me lol. Just sooooooo desperate for warwick coz i visted it and it was love at first sight. Its so annoying tho, if only i had revised more for my physics gcse mock
