How clever are people at Warwick?

Usually very intelligent But I'm going to be bias.

This competition at uni is not the same as school however, you don't really care about other people's grades as much.
Average offer is AAB but I would say the average student has AAAa usually.

I know my friends aren't indicative of all people at Warwick but my kitchen is more often than not engaged in some kind of political or economical argument. If we're not debating then people are doing their assignments together etc.

You might think you're smart now but when you get to university you'll become just as average as everyone else there.

P.s read on another of your threads your predicted grades are only ABB...

Go to a uni because you like it and because you think that you would be happy there. Not because you think the students are smart.

The predicted grades are a good indicator as to how I performed throughout the year - coasting, mainly talking during lessons and doing no homework. I am effectively teaching myself the courses from now till exams. I was asked whether or not I wanted an A or A* prediction in maths, but I asked for an A. My mentality during sixth form has been much more about having fun than work.

The sole reason I want to go to uni is for academic gain. I feel that being surrounded by more intelligent people will force me to push harder.

Have your started revising for exams?

That sounds like a barrel of laughs

Recently, I submitted my firm of Warwick, and insurance of Nottingham for Civil Engineering.

Nottingham have sent me an information pack saying that if I get AAA and have Nottingham as firm then I am entitled to money. This has put me off greatly, considering I am aiming for A*A*Aa, and would be the exception rather than the norm. Being surrounded by ABB/AAB students, whilst clever, wouldn't push me as hard as more intellectual students would.

So, I was wondering what the average Warwick students grades are, as I'd like to be surrounded by people who are just as, preferably more, clever than I am. This is so I have plenty of healthy competition, and people above me in the class to strive to be as good as.

Before people say grades aren't everything, I admit they aren't everything, but they are a good indicator of how intelligent you are.

Most of the Warwick mathematicians that I know are very clever. This year, they will all have higher grades than your prediction, otherwise they wouldn't get in. Grades aren't everything, though.

Your thread is offensive and ever so slight naive. You'll see that success at university is 30% intelligence and 70% effort, and more often than not the order of who did best at A Level will be turned on its head. Wherever you go, there'll be people who did worse than you at A Level suddenly beating you with high firsts, and those who did great at A Level suddenly getting thirds and 2:2s. I'm sure you'll find that the students of both Nottingham and Warwick will be able to more than keep up with you no matter who you are.

While you have your experiences, that statement is a bit of an exaggeration. If you examine the statistics, then for any given course universities with higher entry scores tend to produce better exam results. Otherwise universities wouldn't use A-level entry requirements

The rest of what you said is spot-on though.

Out of interest, why didn't you apply for Oxbridge if you wanted to be surrounded with intellectual students?



Warwick Maths is the "exception" tbh.

I agree, it was slightly hyperbolic, good point I'm sure you appreciate that I was trying to get the OP to see that A Level results aren't always an indication of success at degree level, maybe going a little far (you are right that there is a general pattern ).
