The "I'm applying to UCAS for 2012 entry" thread

Thanks so much

Can you please explain what parts one can view and is it through track or through normal ucas website?

Goodluck! LSE - do they have pure Mathematics?

Warwick and Cambridge (Mathematics G100) - do they need STEP?

Thank you! I applied for Mathematics with economics at LSE

As for Cambridge, they will ask for STEP 100% (If I even get an offer) and
I am not too sure about Warwick

Could somebody explain the difference between, BA (Bachelor of Arts) and BSc (Bachelor of Sciences)

BA you get one of those if you do say, english lit, languages at uni. Bsc if you do Biology, chemistry.

Hey finally decided to join after referring to this site for UCAS help

im a little bit worried about getting offers from the unis i have applied for, im currently doing a national diploma in media, and i am aiming for distinction, and hoping to study tourism management at uni (explained in my PS)

ive applied, for soton solent (great location) , swansea , bedfordshire, and york st john, the ND distinction will be equivalent to 360 UCAS points, so way above the required grades of 240 points , but i have comparitively weak gcse grades ( only 4 Cs, including english but not maths), but i have matured greatly since then

so whats the likelyhood of an offer ?, oddly im less worried about meeting there offer grades, im more worried about getting an offer

sure about me and countless thousands of offers are going for this, so any help would be greatly appreicated , thanks

Really, because Economics is offered in both BA and BSc...

It's 80% average over the whole a-level and 90% in A2. The 90% in maths is over C3/C4. And in Further Maths it is 90% over your best 3 A2 modules.

So you can get 60% in AS and then 100% in A2 and it would still be an A*.

Resits don't matter. I know a lot of people who've retaken modules for an A*

It doesn't matter if you retake a module, afaik. And it's 90% overall in A2 and 80% in the entire A-Level.

Hi, can I ask a quick question - do people think it's particularly unwise to apply with only one of my Top 5 being a reserve choice? I've chosen four unis with AAA offers and and one with AAB. I'm predicted A*A*A, but I don't know whether I should apply to a second with AAB... not many places offer my course and I doubt whether I'd accept it if that was what I got, I'd just do retakes. Anyway any advice would be appreciated How many of your 5 are potential reserve choices?

Are you confident about making the grades? And as you said if you wouldn't be happy going to that uni there's no use applying, is there?

I personally don't really have any reserve, mine are all between A*AA and A*A*A.

Who ask for A*A*A for maths?

Warwick (with a 2 in STEP, you can lower it to A*AA with a 1 in STEP). Cambridge do SOMETIMES but not that often (with the 1,1 in STEP II/III). Oh and Oxford do but I'm not applying there
