I have an interview on the 16th, you?


Nope :frown: I applied for BSci , didn't realise you could apply for Mcsi straight away so I don't know if they thought I was one of those applicants who just wants to do a 3 year degree then go into teaching or something. But ultimately I would like to do a masters and see where that takes me.

I thought international students were not expected to attend open days... Did they by any chance thought that you were living in the UK?


Mm maybe, they told me they'd sent me a letter and, clearly, it's addressed to Japan, so I'd concluded that they knew I lived overseas.

But good, sounds like only people living in the UK are expected to go, so I'll be able to contact them and feel a bit better about it.. Thanks!

Went to open yesterday and I have to admit that UCL really is awesome. Seems like such a nice and friendly atmosphere. Really gonna be hard to choose my firm now if I get offers from warwick and Durham.


Same, am waiting to hear from Warwick but if I do get an offer then it'll be a tough decision between those two and Exeter.
I can't make the Open Day but it sounds like they give you a good idea of what the place is like.. good to know you liked it!

I understand from UCL that they received the highest number of applications ever. That is why decisions are taking a little longer.

Keep waiting and hoping guys. Though the long wait is not easy.
Just received an open day invitation for Economics - 23rd Feb :smile: Anybody else?

What do these days consist of, anybody been already?

The wait is actually more torturing than an instant rejection... I wish I heard anything!! OK, I have heard from York, so I shouldn't cvomplain too much, but I would really love to live in London next year!

Well the Xbox was fairly useless as the TV doesn't work but yeah I take your point. I'm just edging closer to UCL but I certainly haven't made any decision yet and I have a while yet to decide. I will probably go visit Cambridge again on a nice, sunny day to see if that will sway me towards Cambridge. UCL has the unfair advantage of me passing by it every few weeks or so and bumping into various students and fellow applicants constantly. Even if I did decide to go to Cambridge, I'd have to convince my parents that it'd be a good idea. Amazingly enough, they actually don't really want me to go to Cambridge. And they're ASIAN!

Which course are did you apply for?

I'm not sure if this applies to every course at UCL, but at least for psychology, this is their policy regarding open days:

"We do not usually expect applicants from outside the UK to attend an open day. However, if you are visiting the UK at the time of one of our open days then you are very welcome to attend." (link)

Really? it was that good?!

NICE!! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE OFFER!! :bumps:
Did it take long for your offer to come through after Open Day???
Anyone heard from Maths with economics for UCL by any chance? If you did, tell me whether there was an interview/open day plz. Also, how many does the uni pick the applicants? Since I'm international, dunno what will happen :s-smilie:

Thanks! :biggrin:

Yeah I personally liked it along with the people there, also the maths department was a small one which can be a good or a bad thing depending on which way you see it from.

My open day was on Wednesday and the offer came through today so it took 2 days. One of my mates got his offer before the open day. lol
