UCAS Applications + Uni Applicant Thread Directory for 2024 **Official Thread**

The university of south Wales words links to the Aberystwyth university thread instead of the South wales one and for Aberystwyth there’s no link.

Thanks, we are working on linking the rest of the unis so there might be some dodgy links whilst that is being completed. It will all be checked

(A*A*A achieved). Personally, I feel like my grades are not as outstanding as many others,

and I did not do any EPQs related to Law.

However, I do have quite a lot of Music ABRSM achievements, olympiad maths competition awards, and loads of extracurriculars that are somehow not really related to Law.

I have done the LNAT, and I left feeling uncertain about my performance, but I think my essay was not as great as I wanted it to be due to the time constraint.

Do you guys have any suggestions on my 5 UCAS choices and how I can change them? I'm also particularly worried that I might be rejected from all 5 offers after seeing many students with excellent stats (even some with 30+ LNAT) get rejected from G5. My application for Oxford is unrealistic, but to be honest, I just want to give it a try rather than regret not applying in the future. Also, should I go for LSE or UCL? Your input is appreciated <3

This perspective is actually baffling to me. You were 1 grade off a perfect sweep. The only people with better grades than you are the 0.03% of the people taking A Levels that got 3 A*s (can't remember the actual statistic but it's on that scale).

Don't need one

I think you are criticising yourself for... nothing? I can't see a reason why you wouldn't have a competitive application.

Firstly, thanks for your reply! If that's the case, do you think I should still have oxford as one of my uni selections? Also In your opinion, between LSE and UCL, which do I have a higher chance of entering? I do know that UCL takes into consideration the LNAT essay, however, LSE's offer rates are lower than UCL's.

Just to add that even if you received 5 rejections from competiive programmes, you would pretty much have your pick of anything available via UCAS Extra with those grades.

There will always be a risk.

Why not apply to 4 choices and wait and see if you get any offers by the Jan deadline? Then you can hopefully submit your last choice knowing whether it needs to be 'safe' or not.

I don't have a crystal ball, I can't tell you what you will or won't get into. I can tell you that you have extremely competitive grades and with those being achieved grades, you should receive either unconditional offers or rejections. I would expect you to get some quick responses too. Best of luck and any problems, just shout.

Thanks for your advice. Is it the same procedure if I decide to only apply for 3/4 spots now, and apply the rest in January?

I have thought of this as well as using up my Extra, but would it be too risky?

Is there is a chance that safer schools (not as competitive as UCL, LSE...) like Leeds or Manchester would probably have no leftover spots by January?

Hi all

maybe the wrong place to post but unsure where else. I'm a graduate now applying to study grad entry medicine so it's been a while since I did my UCAS for undergrad. RE entering AS levels onto UCAS, do I enter all AS levels and A levels results separately? Or do I only enter the result for the completed A level?

For example I did bio all the way through to A level, so should that be entered as just the A level?

Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know if there is maths thread for maths applicatants for 2024? I can’t seem to find the official one

Hi. Is there a physics thread please?
