Hi, I am from Portugal and I received my rejection letter on monday, I didn't get an interview :frown:
Subject: Mathematical Tripos (maths with physics) on Murray Edwards

(grades in portugal are from 0 to 20)
My grades are 19 in physics, chemistry and philosophy, 18 in maths, 17 in english, 16 in biology, geology and portuguese
Predicted grades: 19 in maths and physics, 18 in programming and 16 in portuguese (in the last year we only have 4 subjects)

I have a big curriculum outside school in physics, maths, and astronomy (and in music)

Now I have an interview on Imperial and Southampton and I hope the answer from UCL is also good :smile:

Is there a way i can change the title thread - sorry, I'm a noob at this 😂😂


I'd leave it as is - Oxbridge isn't really a thing, and I'm sure The Other Place will have (or has) it's own equivalent thread :smile:

Have you been rejected?

Don't be downhearted!! UCL and Imperial are still amazing uni,s so don't worry, I'm sure you'll get them. Good luck with the interviews !


I'm not :smile: I cried when I received the rejection letter but now I'm even more motivated for the interviews at Imperial and Southampton, I am also really nervous because I am still waiting for the answer from UCL.
Thanks! :smile:

What was your Maths and FM UMS?

90% average - I guess that might have had something to with it. I hoped the rest of my application might make up for it though along with the fact that I had a mock interview with an engineering academic from another top university that said my Personal Satement and my application as a whole was extremely strong.

On the bright side I've got 3 offers from other good universities (including my second favourite of Southampton) and waiting on an answer from Durham so I'm not too downhearted.

Yes perhaps, and it might depend on individual modules too. But it's great to hear you have offers from excellent universities.

Onwards and upwards :smile:

Yes thanks, I think having some other offers already did help and I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be.
My friends all have offers, one of my best friends has 4 offers and a cambridge interview. Here I am, no offers and Cambridge rejection :') I thought my predicted (IB 44) was good enough, but I must've messed up my NSAA and must have a pretty weak statement. Totally coping and don't want to cry, nope!
