Ucl firmers 2013 entry

They didn't specify anything at all, they just asked me to and I did! I think They will be looking for high UMS average, but luckily for you probably aren't too concerned about decision modules, more about the harder core modules and mechanics. Also, remember that this isn't the only factor, they will look at everything, they just use the UMS as an extra indicator for a good candidate.

In terms of the Further Maths being a B, it could be a problem, but depends on your other modules if it's just the one that let you down. Also, you don't know if it definitely has gone terrible yet, so don't give up!

Was D1 the module you think you have messed up in? And are you just guessing your average based on the exams you've done? My UMS was:

C1- 100 C2- 87 C3- 98 C4- 97 S1-97 M1-100

Which I understand is very high, but I have to stress it's not JUST the UMS that they look for. For example, my other two subject UMS' weren't as good. Also, my GCSEs, though good, wont have been as fantastic as a lot of people applying to UCL..

I think it's a bit early to consider a gap year just yet, you haven't got your results back yet! And also, there's no harm in trying and seeing what happens. They might just make you the (high) offer and leave it to you to achieve it!

Does anyone know if those holding unconditional offers will find out which accommodation they've been placed in any earlier than those with conditional offers?

And also, to any English applicants specifically - should we have received anything from the department yet, such as reading lists etc.?

I'm an English firmer who hasn't received anything so I guess they aren't planning on sending things out until after the exam period. That said, if you're interested you can access material intended for undergraduates here, including the reading list for 2012 freshers.

Okay, thanks. I already have that link but was just wondering if there is a list for 2013 floating around anywhere. I don't want to buy anything from that list in case ours changes. Is your offer unconditional or conditional?

Mines a conditional offer and no I haven't seen a newer reading list anywhere at the moment. I haven't bought anything off the previous list for the same reason but I can't see the harm in re-reading any items you already own - none of the First year modules will have changed.

Cool, well good luck in your exam! I only own a few of the things on the list but I guess re-reading them would be a good idea. I know it's unlikely the course content will have changed but one or two of the texts might have, or the actual editions recommended on the reading list. Suppose we'll just have to wait.

All my exams will be finished after Monday so i'm planning on reading as much of that old reading list as possible from then on. Providing it all goes well i'll hopefully see you in September (i'm assuming your offer is unconditional from your first post but, if not, good luck in your exams as well).

Hi everyone, I've applied for Egyptian archaeology and my differ is ABB, I know that's a really good offer for UCL but I'm terrified I won't get a B in biology. Does Anybody know if I got say, AAC they would accept that? I don't have an insurance because all my offers were the same and I really want to go to UCL.
I also have a lot if experience from digs, and have volunteered in a museum for 2 years in the archaeology department. Plus I do archaeology a level which only like 20 colleges in the UK offer and they said they were really impressed with all this on my interview.
I'm so scared :'(
