Why UCL? Amazing languages centre, ideal location, beautiful campus and always wanted to live in London

Course: Geography BA
A level subjects / predicted grades: Biology, geography, mathematics ( A*A*A )
GCSE grades: Didn't do GCSEs, did the MYP so no A*s but AAAAABB (with one of the B's in music)
Extracurriculars: Worked at a nature reserve, organised the environmental impact project at my school, travelled and lived overseas, gave numerous presentations, charity work, student council, teaching english in a poor remote region, young geographer at the Royal Geographical Society.
Why UCL? Because I'm from London and it's been my dream to go there since I was young.

Think I've put down msc on my ucas form and I do intend on staying on 4 years wherever I go grades permitting. It doesn't really matter since I can switch between the two.

Fair enough, good point.
Course: International Relations
Subjects: taking the SAT Composite, 3 SATII's, and AP computer science, Comparative government, and Biology.
GCSE's: International student
Extracurriculars: Model U.N, Volunteer Internship at a human rights NGO, local volunteering, and Flute

I'm not sure, but usually you can get a good indication if you look at last year's UCL applicants thread and when people started saying they got replies.
