Ucl firmers 2013 entry

I've almost finished applying for accommodation but I don't know what kind of picture I'm supposed to upload? Should I scan my passport photo and upload that or just upload a selfie from my phone haha.

Hi, I'm also looking into changing courses. I've been advised to wait until I get there and ask to transfer within the first week. But I'd be transferring into a less competitive course, so for History you might want to transfer before then... perhaps a few days after results day when people may have missed their offers.

ahhh thanks!! nice to know that someone else is in the same situation!! what are you changing to/from if ya dont mind me asking?
Thanks for your advice!

I'm hoping to change from Philosophy and French to either Philosophy and Greek or Ancient World. And it's okay, although I don't think I was that much help as I didn't give you a definite answer! But what are you thinking of doing? I'm desperate to change it but I'm scared that they'll take away my offer or something. :/

Exactly the same with me!!! thats why i havent been pushing it further!! I'm also a bit worried that I wont get the A*AA that i need for history, so going to keep it as it is at the mo! When I get there I am going to try and change to history or ancient world like you I will just be happy to go though, so think I will leave it until september now! What about you? Also, have you done accomodation yet??

Anyone here got a place for Maths and Physics?

Sorry to gatecrash the uni forums but I was just curious; people who've got a place for Maths/Maths and Physics (insanely high requirements, ikr) - what grades did you get at AS?

If there's anyone around here with a place on the Maths course I'd appreciate it greatly if you could let me know. And also good luck to everyone on achieving your grades! Hoping to be in same position next year!

I'll now leave the university forums.. *leaves with tail between legs*

Yo!

I've got a standard maths offer for entry this september. It's A*A*A or A*AA and a 1 in any STEP paper or distinction in AEA. This is a pretty crazy offer, but us maths students are in fierce competition I guess!

At AS I got an A* in full Maths standard A Level, an A in Physics and a A in Theatre Studies (different, I know). This year I'm doing the full Further Maths A level, and completing both A2s in Physics and Theatre Studies.

I also had to provide my UMS scores for my maths modules to UCL when I applied, any questions, just ask!

Congrats on your offer, that's great! :P

Just a quick question; you said hey asked for your ums marks in your modules. Did they specify that they were looking for high ums or anything in particular?

And also, I'm slightly worried because one of my maths exams went horribly wrong two weeks back (I wasn't feeling too good) and I'm almost certain that it's going to bring my further maths grade down to a B. so with that in mind, I'm set to get 2 A's (maths and physics) and 2 B's (f maths and chemistry) which is quite disappointing if I'm honest.

In terms of ums, my average (excluding d1 which would be around 40 odd) is 85/86 which isn't great but isn't too bad either. What were your marks like, if you don't mind me asking of course, and do you think I'll still be in with a shot at UCL next year or is it worth taking a gap year? I say gap year because I can almost guarantee maths and further maths A* at the end of next year, but I'm afraid my grades won't reflect that.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to me and id really appreciate some feedback and any general sort of help.

Thank you! And sorry for going on a bit..
