being at ucl, they really really do not care about predicated grades, as long as you meet the requirements. I was predicted A*A*A and A* in an epq on old english, but i knew of others with 5/6A*s that were rejected.

thank you so much !

ucl is my preferred, but i have not received anything from them yet, just still waiting on an interview
i'm unsure whether i should be nervous or not as their website says they interview from november to march so any reassurance would be helpful! thank you!

honestly don’t stress! i ended up stressing so badly just to end up with an offer with no interview (although i think this depends on how good your PS is as most in my cohort got interviewed, barring the international students)

so i guess the best thing to do is just trust the process ?! i have read my personal statement so many times in the past couple days haha it has gotten me other offers but i assume they value it less

Hi I’ve applied to ucl this year for English undergraduate and am worried about how big the city and university is and how I will meet people

You meet people just fine! the department does a lot of gatherings at the start of term and you make friends in your accommodation and in societies etc. what’s good about ucl is that you get that campus close feel in central london, so you’re not always mingling with the public. bloomsbury is also a lovely area.

Hey, almost the same problem. They scheduled an interview with me but didn't give me the time just the date. I have been worried to death ☹️ still haven't got a response yet even though my interview will be tomorrow
