I didn't do GCSEs, just came here for A-levels.
During Lower sixth last yr, got AAAAB for AS and got A* (Maths) A at A2 already. Doing the full Further Maths course this year and 2 other A2 subjects.

Hey, can I ask what course you applied for at UCL?

Are you international by any chance?

Also, would you mind telling me what you got for GCSE/AS-level, as well as your A2 predicted grades?

Thanks, just scouting the competition :tongue:
