I got a thumbs down for saying I'd sent off my questionaire? Really? xD God, sorry for meeting deadlines 
That may have been me clicking accidentally! Super sorry! I'll go and thumb up if you're bothered.

Someone on here has apprently already been given an offer for Politics.... hummm, bet that's true. 
thanks, that was really helpful! I'm majorly worried now.... I thought it was a pretty 'safe' choice as it says the offer is AAB-ABB. but now i'm very uncertain as my personal statement was Politics and Philosophy based- not purely about Politics. You just don't know how these things are going to go. I'm predicted A*A*A* so hopefully i will make it past the "first stage", but if i don't that will be a bit of a kick in the teeth, if you get what i mean. I only got my acknowledgement a week ago, so yeah- no news is good news at the moment.

Wow, A*A*A*! Why did you not apply for ESPS?

I do History, English Literature and Religious Studies... they like people who take Maths etc etc. Plus, my GCSE were pants. GCSE weren't my type of thing, I prefer nice long essay and not multiple choice physics questions, thank you very much. lol. Also, i really like SSEES, seems very 'me'. Just worried that people have been given offers and interviews and i've heard nothing. Going on the whole 'no news is good news' premiss.
Biochemistry, just an acknowledgement so far.

Haha too true, I think I got the balance OK in the end though. I found it hard not to do 2 on literature as well! I really like the poemy thing at the end so that bit was pretty fun, the only real difficulty was keeping it all in the limits. I agree that the modern world one was the trickiest though. Have you applied for the course with the year abroad or just the 3 year?
Just three years, I wouldn't want to go away and come back and have all my friends graduated. How about you?

Haha no, it's fine, I just thought it was a bit of a random thing to be disgruntled about!
I saw some ESPS offers or interview invitations, right?
Were there any rejections for ESPS?

Still nothing apart from acknowledgement over here as well.
Hoping it's a good sign!

I'm an IB pupil; I applied to UCL for History and I've had an acknowledgement and a questionnaire to fill in. I sent the questionnaire back about two weeks ago and haven't heard since.
Fingers crossed and waiting for a response!Original post by clare_phoebe

Fingers crossed and waiting for a response!I applied to Biochemistry but didn't get a questionnaire I think I applied after the questionnaires were sent. What was the questionnaire all about?
Good luck

Ahh, fair enough!
They've offered 0 interviews and have given 0 offers for Politics & East European Studies; people have only heard back for Economics, Business & EES!
Sooo, I wouldn't worry

Good luck
It was definitely a History specific questionnaire, so hopefully they wouldn't send it to a Biochemistry applicant!
Good luck to you too!Original post by clare_phoebe

Anyone else been invited to Interview Day for the 1st December?Original post by riotgrrl

3 as well, tempted to ask to switch for the 4 year course though, a year in Greece or Italy would be pretty amazing. Is UCL your first choice?

Hey!!
Haha I am also an IB applicant, I sat my exams during this session (November) and applied to UCL around mid October. I applied for biomedical sciences and received an acknowledgement so far. eeeeeek!! I just wish I can hear their decision soon - a rejection is even better than nothing! I was predicted around a 44/45 but I don't think reality will ever match up to that prediction .
