Do any of you know around what time UCL started giving out answers for CompSci last year ?

Here's last years version of this thread...
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3767303

Take from it what you will, but it looks like they'll trickle out some acceptances in the next 2-3 weeks, and 31st March appears to be an advertised date they've used in the past.

Who did you call out of interest, was it the generic application department or the computing application department
.
I rang the generic one a short while ago and they couldn't tell me anything besides it had already went to the computing
department back in December, and suggested ringing one of the contacts the course (essentially the programme director)
if I wanted updates.

Beginning to freak out, I really need this offer as I'm not going to do STEP for Imperial and Durham is so far to go :frown:

On a year in industry with A*A*A achieved last year and 10A* GCSE, applied beginning of October, so we're approaching 5 months now - why is computing such a nightmare to apply for :frown:

I worked so hard so I wouldn't have to be in this position and yet here I am!

Same here, got step 2 and 3 for Imperial and not doing it.
Wish UCL would hurry though starting to get nervous.

I'm feeling you. Well at least we know that we'll know this month. I'd like to think that it'll be this week or next week at the latest.

Glad I'm not the only one to ignore imperials ridiculous offer! I think they've crossed a line this year.. If I wanted to do maths at Cambridge I would have applied.. But come on UCL it's been over 20 weeks now :frown:

you either like my application or you don't..

i haven't got an offer either and i'm starting to get really worried because imperial took a long time and then rejected me and i can't get it out of my head that ucl will do the same

Well there is a lot of us in the same position, so I guess we could take hope in that?

Congratulations! :smile:

The standard offer is A*AA. Did you have special circumstances or did they just give you a lower offer?

Mine has changed a little as well, but for reference mine is a MSc application rather than BSc - but I guess the entire application process is the same for both undergrad and post-grad.

As i applied directly i can check the application, it changed status today to "Currently being processed by Admissions", so it's in a new stage.

Hopefully should know shortly one way or another.
