Thinking of going to QMUL but worried about the location..?

Quite upsetting hearing everyone talk about previous years' offers for Politics!

I'm applying for it this year..... AAA.

I looked at this point and thought what? Then I checked out the Pol website and it actually is AAA now, that's ridiculous.

Laws A*AA now

I'm applying for it this year..... AAA.

In my day it was BBB/BBC depending on joint honours combination.

I wouldn't not have attained a place with my ABC grades this year, nor would the vast majority of my year group. To think of it, the guy who did get AAA for A levels was the one who topped the year and got a full scholarship for his MSc & PhD.

The AAA requirement will mean the quality of each years cohorts should dramatically increase as well.

Interesting fact, girls perform worst (all factors being considered) for QMUL Politics over the past 7-8 years.

Probs cause their name sounds like


On a slightly more serious note though, how do you know that? I haven't seen any stats.

Haha, unfortunately A levels don't offer an indication of ones sanity.

I'm privy to lots of information. But in short, a good friend of mine spoke to our lovely head of department who admitted girls on the course historically performed the worst controlling for almost all variables such as: A level grades, ethnicity, course choices, social class (state school v grammar v private school)

I believe increasing the offer requirements will do wonders for the department, more fiercely ambitious and opinionated undergraduates will help increase the reputation of the department especially since most of them will go onto very very good graduate school programs or into solid graduate jobs. Looking back, my year did pretty well considering we graduated at the worst time.

Yeah, Jonny Anglais is the true epitomy of everything we want out QMUL Politics grads to be!

Can't knock his hustle.

Its better than clinically insane undergrads.

Is QMUL Politics really going to attract people at AAA though? It's going up against some big hitters with that offer and from my past experience a lot of QMUL Pol students tend to be those which had it as a 2/3rd choice compared to places like UCL/LSE and whatnot. Offering at the same grade boundary as those unis is going to hurt applications imo.

Well, I think it's safe to say I would never have been accepted to QMUL if I applied for 2012..

I love QMUL but you must be mad to turn down LSE or UCL in preference for QMUL. Even if LSE lives up it's reputation of being incredibly unsocial. That being said you're probably right with the first sentence.

I'd rather you didn't.

On a side note, if you want attention you only need to ask.
