Is there anyone that studies at UCL preferably Pharmacy. What’s the university like- both academic and social side? And How was the application process ?

Well done those are good gcse grades!! What is your 4 in, if you don’t mind me asking. And I have same predicted too :smile: we in this together.
Hi!! I don’t go to UCL but I applied there and got an offer as well so I can tell you about the application process if you like!

I applied in early November & got an invite for my interview around a week/2 weeks later. What do you want to know about the application process specifically? :smile:

My predicted grades were AAB. The admissions test wasn’t too bad, it was some basic chem / maths questions (stuff like moles, converting between grams/mg etc.) and then there was an essay prompt as well. Mine was “do you think people who smoke and get lung cancer should receive feee treatment on the NHS” and you wrote a short essay agreeing/disagreeing with that statement. Everyone got a different essay prompt though & I wouldn’t worry too much about this! Xx

Did you have time to research for your essay? And was your predicted B in a science subject ? X

I researched alongside writing it if ygm, bc obviously I knew like smoking causes lung cancer so I could use that as a basis. It wasn’t really a researchy type essay, it was more ur opinion & then facts etc. To support it.
my B prediction was in maths x
