Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official Thread

I'm here with a GCSE C in maths, allthough admitably the competition for places wouldn't have been the same.

I hope so! If I get AAA/B, do you think they will still be bothered about the C in Maths?



I don't think they do interviews for Law. =/



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

What course are you doing?

I don't want to depress you here but I'm going to be honest. My friend got rejected pretty quickly after applying to UCL and she had 3A*'s and the rest A's at GCSE and they said her GCSE's were the problem. She had 5 A's at AS 3 of which were over 90% and were mentioned in her reference. On top of that she had had extenuating circumstances during her GCSE's which were also mentioned on her reference. You might as well apply though seeing as you do get 5 choices - you never know but I just wouldn't want you to get your hopes up

I would give it a go - the pleural of anecdote is not data. By giving up , you lose 100% of the time.

I love that movie.

What movie's this?

Hi, i'm applying for the course: Information Management for Business. I received a letter a few weeks ago stating that "this is to acknowledge the receipt of your application and to inform you that we shall be inviting you for an interview..." Until this day, there is still no letter regarding the interview- is this usual?

You seemed to have misunderstood me. I asked whether it is "usual" for UCL to have written a letter beforehand saying that you will be invited for an interview.

However, i do thank you for your response and congratulate you for getting into UCL.

If you work and then on top of that want to have a social life is it possible to get a good degree? Or do you have to sacrifice something...
