Thank you brother:smile:.Don't know why the guy above took my statement as sarcasm,when obviously,I asked a genuine question.


It's probably because he can't determine a candidates realistic chances because UCL is a big uni, it's not even his degree and thus he won't know any of the competition so probably couldn't give you any firm chance? and that it would be worse to misinform lmao

My GCSE grades are similar to your ones. I applied for chemical engineering at UCL at the end of September and I got a conditional offer from them a week ago without being called for an interview. I believe that you have a strong chance of getting an offer if you make sure your personal statement is really good and you do well in the first year of A levels.


Nice. What are your A-Level predicted grades by the way?

I'm not completely sure because my school didn't want us to know but because I'm applying to Cambridge, it is probably A*A*A or 3A*s.
It's probably quite high seeing that I have already got 4 offers which I find really hard to believe.

Nice, I'm doing the same subjects. However, I might drop Biology because it's not really interesting.

They are all ChemEng offers. I got them from Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham and UCL.

I started off doing the same subjects in year 12. Dropped Biology at the end even though I got an A at AS. I'm glad I made that decision.

Yeah, they're good. You don't have anything to worry about. I will, I'll have to wait until next month though.

Good thing you did it, not worth it if it'll bring down your other grades.

I wonder where the people I am talking about are hiding :lol:
I was fairly pleased with my grades at the time. Now with grade inflation, and the introduction of A*, my grades look pretty unremarkable.

Nope. 335,000 people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland take A Levels every year :smile:


Ah yeah that sounds like a lot but it's only 0.5% of the uk's population XD. Wow so only 2000 get 3A*s+, that's not v many.

I know, I thinks it cus of TSR you'd assume 3A* is quite common. But most schools across the country have no-one who gets it haha
