UCL Offer?!

Has anyone got an offer?
I'm an international student so they said since we cannot have an interview, they would like to ask a few questions before deciding.
This is what they said:

"As the Admissions Tutor for Natural Sciences at UCL, we have received your UCAS application. After reading it, we have found your application worthy of consideration of a place on the Natural Sciences course at UCL, but we do have a few questions for you first."

Is this an offer? or almost one?

Then they asked these questions:

---
F
irstly, which two subject areas interest you most out of the six on offer here at UCL: Maths & Stats, Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, and Science & Technology Studies? (This is not a commitment on your part. We are interested in this information only for statistical purposes) As a follow-up curiosity question: "which combination of stream subjects were you thinking of choosing here at UCL?"

Secondly, "what about UCL appeals to you?", and as a follow-up to this, "what appeals to you most about the Natural Sciences course at UCL?"

Thirdly, something we ask all potential students, "how do you feel about studying in a big capital city such as London?"

What should I say? Please help :smile:

I think this is an offer, just answer the questions as best as you can. Shouldn't be too difficult.

No-one is going to answer these questions for you. Just do them yourself.

By the way, I'm applying to Natural Sciences at UCL as well, I'm originally from London, haven't heard back yet from them. I may see you there next year, good luck!

Honestly speaking I didn't say much. Just sort of researched the UCL website and said that they had a diverse culture and I showed evidence to show that I had researched on them.

I've also got an invite for that open day, from what I can work out it's not an offer but i'd imagine the vast majority who attend will receive offers. I guess we will find out more on the day :tongue:

I think only a select amount of people get invited to the open day, I don't think it's for all applications (Although that is just a bit of assumption and that I don't see why they would invite everyone.)

Does that mean we have high chances to receive offer? Cuz for other course, their invitation has make it clearly that they will receive offer very soon, whereas mine does't mention. since I haven't get any offer. a bit worry...
