Economics Applicant Thread UCAS 2012

haha i thought about caius too, good statistical rate and not too far off from centre :P good luck in your interview

haha i see that someone else to my approach to picking a college! thanks! have you had any offers so far?

Which ones?

early action for stanford... MIT, Harvard, columbia, princeton and maybe a few others if i have time to do those silly admission essays!

You never know, they might see something amazing in your personal statement I'm feeling the same way about UCL

nah full A*s (11) at GCSE, 5A* prediction at A2 (maths, further, physics, chem and economics), and averaging 98% at AS modules - I didn't mention that in UCAS, but my tutor mentioned it in reference.

I have a friend who was rejected by LSE for maths with econ, and he had full marks in AS maths and 197/200 in econ. I think he was let down by his HKCEE results but I still feel this is stupidly ridiculous...

My goodness!!!

Who does get in then? Why didn't you apply for straight Economics? You could have chose your modules in a way that you basically end up with a M&E degree

I dont understand why everyones in shock horror, the guy was unlucky yes

but everyone on tsr has a preconception that perfect ums and gcses are everything! It shows the admission tutors arent instantaneously wowed by amazing ums and the importance of your personal statement.. I mean he even said he barely touched on Maths and Maths & Econ is in the Maths department

I'm almost 100% sure UCL will reject me for their 4 YEAR Economics course. I wish I applied to UCL twice, really do.

Tommorow could be good news for some.... Best of luck.

oo u from harrow??

Nice, good luck What are the annual fees for them?

yes. and yes, i regret choosing the username i chose.

if they wanted perfect a-levels the entry requirement would be like 3A* which most people seem to get predicted, IMO unis are looking for people who'll have a passion for the subject and would actually want to study it for 3 or more years

sorry, rant over
