Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official Threadit's hilarious, i'm lolling so hard as i type this.(Original post by BlueTrain)
It's funny how you complain when there's prospective students chatting in the current UCL students thread when you've just done exactly the same thing. -

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official Threadone instance of chatting in this thread is a bit different from the constant questions in the current students thread, also the "bitching and moaning" in the other thread was rather light hearted.(Original post by Joanna May)
Well either Current Students and Prospective Students can chat in each other's threads without bitching and moaning, or they can't. Which is it?
right back at you

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadOh I couldn't believe that! Did no-one think to actually check the rooms before sending us there -legal brains indeed...(Original post by brokenheroes)
i managed to end up in the room with no tables for contract, i've now nicknamed wlo, "wlol" and public.. i actually did one and a half questions then napped. not a good exam run i'm afraid.. you?
Umm, well in contract case names were leaking out of my head faster than water in a sieve so it started well and finished in a round of 'lets make up random case names'
WLO...haha, yeah I just looked through the questions and thouight how I probably really should have revised something for this module so yup, I eneded up making it up as I went along and public?
Let's just say that I was writing to fill space, rather than writing anything useful
Bring on May!

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadI appear to have started something controversial here with my simple question....excellent(Original post by BlueTrain)

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadTa muchly(Original post by brokenheroes)
ssees seem to have their own cool events (saw something about a vodka tasting one once!) but obviously other people can still go. you still live in halls with everyone else, i know one or two ssees students but there doesn't seem to be any difference. not like i've noticed that lawyers and medics are quite cliquey. can any ssees-ers shed any light?

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official Thread

The admissions officer got back to me today (I emailed her about my GCSE grades) and she said that it's unlilely that they will offer me a place because I have an A in English but a C in Maths! (They want atleast a B in English and Maths
).

My friend is at SSEES, for his interview he wore black trousers, shirt but no tie. He was smart casual which is what most people go as..then again on my law interview day half the people were milling around in jeans lolThank you both(Original post by Joanna May)
I went for interview last year at the Modern Languages department and wore smart black trousers and a nice v-neck jumper. I got an offer

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadYeah, but they don't need to chat to each other about their day. As has been pointed out, you have your own thread for that(Original post by rockrunride)
Well this is an Ask a UC student thread, where UC students need to post to make it purposeful.
No problem. I don't think anyone turned up in jeans, as far as I remember, but there equally weren't people in suits. It was probably the smarter side of smart casual.(Original post by Rob_K)
Thank you both
I've heard mixed reports about Astor. Some say it's good and cheap,but some say it's not great. But if you've already asked, then just hope you get in the nice bit! -

If you get placed in the more renovated part, then I think it will be alright. but yeah, all the access to facilities is a plus.
Yea I hope I do get in the nice renovated bit then lol tbh I dnt really mind about room size cos the room I've got at home is tiny anyway, I can just touch both sides with outstretched arms lol and its just a bit longer than a bed! So I think I'll cope lol as long as It's self catered and close to uni lol(Original post by Joanna May)

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadHere's hoping that they'll make an exception for you(Original post by SofinaaBabess)

Will you get an interview for your course? Maybe if they see you in person they'll be more likely to forgive the C
This makes me very very grateful to whatever allowed the fluke of me obtaining a B at Maths GCSE

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadI hope so! If I get AAA/B, do you think they will still be bothered about the C in Maths?(Original post by imomo16)

I don't think they do interviews for Law. =/Will you get an interview for your course? Maybe if they see you in person they'll be more likely to forgive the C

I did foundation Maths at gcse because it's always been my weakest subject for some strange reason.
But yeah, I never thought it would matter, as long as I got a C

Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadYes, it happened once even though you have your own thread to chat in. The other thread it happened several times because the prospective students didn't.(Original post by rockrunride)
Lol, it happened once, unlike the constant barrage of questions on the currents thread..
But whatever. I'm not overly bothered, just thought it was hypocritical. -
Re: Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official ThreadI'm a prospective second-year student, but no, I go there already.(Original post by SofinaaBabess)
Are you a prospective student?
I slapped BH on the wrist for this, happy?(Original post by Joanna May)
Yes, it happened once even though you have your own thread to chat in. The other thread it happened several times because the prospective students didn't.
But whatever. I'm not overly bothered, just thought it was hypocritical.
You could have taken the initiative and started it yourself

But yeah, I never thought it would matter, as long as I got a C
