Official UCL Applicant Thread for Entry in 2011!

Hey Guys

I firmed UCL around 1-2 months ago with an conditional offer and they havent sent me an email or a letter since (from UCL) about anything not even about firming them etc.

I know the deadline for accommodation is the 31st of May so im not sure when will they be sending me the accommodation form/booklet so that i can apply

Please help

Many Thanks

Hm, I only know of one other person on TSR who's going to do Maths there Don't hang out much in the UCL threads, they're too big

I've filled in the student finance forms but not checked it or sent it off, because I haven't finalised my choices on UCAS yet. Got an idea of what halls you want to be in?

lol, me? I'm sure we'll have time to know a lot of peeps from here in time for Freshers!!!!

Erm I'm still contemplating whether or not to live at home or live in the halls.

Haha yep. Hope so, can't wait for freshers Do you live nearby?

I'm applying to UCL (hopefully) in 2012 but I'm worried my GCSEs are a little weak? They're A*A*AAAABBBBB, which are still okay I know but maybe on the borderline for a top uni like UCL..

So I was just wondering what everyone else's GCSEs are like, did anyone get lower than me and still get in?
Btw, it's for Linguistics

Erm I didn't apply for linguistics but rather for maths and my GCSEs were utter s***: AABBBBBBC

Oh, okay. Did you have any special circumstances? And what were your AS grades, if you don't mind?



Don't mean to interrogate you, sorry

Does the maintenance loan given by the Student loan company cover all the rent costs of a ULC non catered hall or will i need further funding.

Btw it will be my 1st year at UCL 11/12 and im looking to hopefully stay in Astor

Many Thanks

My loan did, and I am in Astor this year.


You pay your accommodation fees per term (you're billed shortly after you arrive and enrol, bit before Christmas and Easter break are over) and it's weighted so you pay more in terms 1 and 2, as a result, the what you have leftover from the loan is only about £200-300 pounds for the term to live off, for this year at Astor at least.

Thanks arcl

If you don't mind me asking, how much were you given from the SLC for your maintenance loan? Im looking like ill be getting just under 5,000 will this be enough?

Thanks again
