Official UCL Applicant Thread for Entry in 2011!

i applied 3 months ago.. still waiting.. haha

Has anyone who applied for MPhys had an offer through without having the interview yet? I got the letter inviting me to an interview day in February weeks ago, but my UCAS has already updated with a conditional
Do you think they didn't mean to give me the offer yet?

The physics department is not doing formal interviews this year, they're giving out offers with the condition that the applicant visits the department on an open day

So you have the offer but it only stands if you go the day where it will be a tour around the place and no interview Congratulations

It depends on the subject, I applied for law and got an offer without an interview.

Depends on the department, but this is true for some UCL departments. In fact some departments actually tell you you've already got the offer before starting the interview.

Ooh this has made me hopeful Any ideas of how to decipher which ones? For example, in the letter, if they mention "informal" interview, does not mean anything?

Hello and thanks!

I'm sure you'll hear soon, things should speed up now its after the deadline, I'm guessing they have an onslaught of applications to sort through. When did you send yours? Have you got an acknowledgement yet? Best of luck!

They really don't, I guess I'm just gonna have to hope for the best and wing it.

lol yee i think it is pretty obvious. i got confused because i took computing, so having not done any research, i assumed if you doing computing A-level that must be enough to do a computing degree since people can do the degree without having done computing A-level.
anyways i made it here :P
have you firmed it yet or thought about accommodation?

Still no word on my application to do physics at UCL Heard back from my 3 other choices but UCL is my first choice. Anybody applying for the BSc Physics not heard back yet?

Physics department has been quite slow this year, they're experiencing some delays. They've only just managed to process the decisions of those who applied in October.

When did you apply?

I applied in November, thinking I could use the same references as last year and a month later I find out I can't so it got sent off 2nd December I think. I know it's irrelevant lol, but I just like to justify my late application

well, actually I originally applied for Fine Art but changed my mind in december! Decided I wanted something abit more intellectual...but still arty.
I haven't actually had an acknowledgement - just an email from the HOA admissions guy when he managed to track down my UCAS form from the fine art department, and agreed to transfer me! I was so relieved. Hoping hoping for an interview!
