Don't lose hope you've got lots of potential and obviously want to further your studies. So are you re-sitting this year in order to go to UCL in October 2017, or are you applying with your grades under the exceptional circumstances option?

I'm not sure if in my references my teachers will write that a death in the family is a special circumstance

I'm resitting 10 exams in total (2 eco, 2 history & 6 maths)

For history realistically, I think i will achieve an A, I just resat the coursework and got 75/80ums and if I get even a low A in unit 1 then for the other exam I only need a C to get a overall A
for maths I have a tutor, I'm completing it in 1 year froms scratch, I've finished chapter 5 in c1 finding it fine

I just feel I have 0% chance for UCL, I'm predicted BBB but I am sure I will exceed this

I am unsure to apply to UCL because I don't think they will even look at my application & yes I want to go to UCL starting Sept 2017


I'd say definitely apply, there's nothing to lose and you have five choices anyway, so your 4 others can have lower grade requirements. They look at other things than your grades like your personal statement/work experience etc. Your offer would probably be above your predicted but then it gives you something to aim for. But also ask yourself what is it about UCL that wants you to go? For example there are lots of other unis in London that you could also apply to if that's what you want, and they'll be lots of similar courses out there at other unis so all hope isn't lost if you potentially don't get an offer. You have lots of options.
Are there any Medicine applicants here? I can't seem to find a thread for UCL Med haha :-P
Applying for Biochemistry at UCL.
UCAS application will be sent off by the end of next week.

GCSES: 1A* 1A & 7B's
AS grades: ACCD (not great I know, dropped the D grade subject).
EPQ grade A (achieved).
Predicted A2: A*AB

Completed my personal statement & all references are complete.
School's in special measures so I have extenuating circumstances.
I've done A LOT of extra & super curricular activities, too many to mention on here.

Be brutally honest do I have a chance at UCL/Warwick?

Also any tips for making my Personal Statement stand out?

Hi, i want to apply to UCL to study pharmacy, i was just wondering if UCL gives offers after or before interviews?


Erm as far as I know, last year they started interviewing applicants again (since they stopped for 2 years previously) and only after that, they send offers, but I've heard the interview is pretty chilled....not sure about your intake tho, although will most probs be the same but can call them up to double check!

No :frown: was going to, would have applied to Catz.

How comes you've decided against it? Does that make UCL your first choice then?
I'm going to apply for Computer Science at UCL. I'm Scottish so our exam system is a little different, there's no A*s.

National 5: 7As, 1B
Higher: 6As (Maths, English, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Music)
Advanced Higher: Predicted 4As (Maths, Applied Maths, Physics, Computer Science)

I sat an extra higher to try and increase my chances of getting an offer and same with the advanced highers.
Anyone know if I'm likely to get an offer?

Perhaps her predictions weren't up to scratch?
