I'm an EU citizen but currently living in China, so I didn't really take my UCAS applications seriously with 30k international fees. Either way now I'm focused on getting into kings with a 40/45 IB with 776HL (A*A*A I'm pretty sure for A-Levels).

Anyway, I applied to Kings (First choice), Newcastle (second), Nottingham (maybe?), and then queen mary and royal holloway which I'm not even considering lol. Just hoping to get into King's

I'm doing computer science at higher level but not mathematics, which is why I'm scared I'll only barely reach the requirements (messed up my IGCSEs and got a C in cambridge maths as well lol)

What about you?

I think King's just takes a while to reply. Been waiting for a month now myself for Bsc comp sci. Speaking of, I've got an offer at Nottingham as well!

I am also an international student. I go to school in England but am currently in a country called The Gambia (don't know if you've heard about it🙂). My predicted grades are A*A*AA in Comp sci, economics, math and chemistry respectively (A levels obviously).
I applied to Kings,Glasgow, Warwick and Nottingham and have only gotten 1 offer so far from notts.

Never heard of royal Holloway tbh, rest sound sound, where is it?
Also, isn't math a requirement for comp sci cuz that's what I saw for most unis (idk why cuz it sucks, but yeah)?
My IGCSEs were decent (I guess) - A*A*AAAAAAAB (B in additional mathematics, but I still got one of the highest in our school for it so)
Dw about your IGCSE's, they like students who have a positive graph with lots of improvement, shows that they can work on themselves, your IB sounds amazing so I'm sure they have a solid reason to take you!🙂 Fingers crossed!!

Yeah! I meet the requirements so I'm not too worried at the moment. I'm doing a dutch math deficiency course that would grant me the equivalent of Mathematics HL so perhaps they would consider that in case I didn't make it (which would only be if exams are cancelled as my tests are really good but my exploration assessment is meh).

Royal holloway is just outside of London if I'm not mistaken, it's a really nice looking school but not as academic as I'm looking for.

And mathematics is a requirement for most uni's but I chose to apply to the ones that did not require it. Only a B is needed in Math SL to get into King's so I'm fine. I don't see a single reason why you wouldn't be considered and your grades are amazing. Wish you all the best as well!
