thank u in advance for any replies
If he's getting those grades and continues to work he should be fine - university maths is as much, if not more, about working systematically rather than "natural talent". Why is he thinking UCL though? It doesn't have a particularly strong reputation for maths.

Cambridge, Oxford, Warwick, Imperial are often listed top. But Oxbridge deadlines have passed. Others mention Bath, Bristol, though some quibble about Imperial's teaching support. UCL isn't bad, it's just not particularly well known for maths. Has your brother discussed this with his teachers? We're quite late into the admissions process. Is this just last minute nerves?
