It's difficult to say, the email LSE sent me when i asked them about whether my early entries were bad was something along the lines of 'we prefer A levels to be finished in the same year' so not definite but also indicating they don't like it.

I e-mailed them and they replied the same, but however Cambridge colleges replied to me saying it won't disadvantage me from applying but the offer grade will likely to be ones I achieved at yr13. But Trinity however saying they don't care at all, Nottingham and Warwick says I only need further A if I got the grades.

How come you haven't got your grade from maths if you did it last year?

I got A at yr11 and retook C4 this Jan and probably A* overall, surprised when Trinity and other top unis saying don't care about retake because they believe everyone got bad days, except LSE. But my applied modules are terrible low A and B, others are over 90.

I think if you get A*A in Maths, FMaths then that is pretty solid for applying to these unis if they look over the fact they were done early.

Not sure if my personal circumstance took into account, I came to England for 3 years and not knowing proper English before yr10 and started school at yr9 and self taught English...

If a uni does not ask for UMS then obviously the UMS does not matter, it's just about the grade. But if you are applying to Oxbridge and UCL then you would want to have high UMS in FM and Maths to show you didn't just scrape the good looking grades.

Not sure if good PS and working experience will compensate my low UMS... I will have to try to ace rest of math modules DX Also, do they only care about math modules? How about the rest? :confused:

If you don't go to the open day you don't get an offer.

That is not true.

Nope, I only applied a couple of days before the deadline, guess I'll just wait to hear but I'm not overly keen on that scheme, what's the next stage?

That is not true.

I'm assuming you've told them why you couldn't go, if you just didn't tell them and didn't turn up then I thought they assumed you weren't interested.

My email clearly says that attendance at the open day is optional and doesn't affect my offer. But they would like to know whether I am coming or not, so yea I did tell them.
