I’m kinda getting worried now and wondering if I’m good enough I’ve seen on the threads people being predicted really high grades etc
I have been predicted AAB
And I’m applying to geophysics with geology and the entry requirements are AAB too
I have 877776655
6-maths
7-7-science
6- geography
I’ve worked really hard on my personal statement and my teachers have helped and it’s super strong and rated 9/10 by my teachers and I have some decent references is their any point of applying do I stand a chance
Geophysics last year had 130 people who applied and 130 got offers no one was rejected but I’m not too sure if I stand a chance because the amount of people who apply might increase etc

I’m applying with AAB predicted for geology and my gcses are 998887764. I think with a strong personal statement you’ve got a good chance. If everyone applied with A*s they wouldn’t make the entry requirements AAB.
On the Durham website it says earth science department got 245 applications last year and 92% got offers so it’s not super competitive too.

My reference I haven't seen it yet but my tutor knows me because have philosophy with him and we're a class of 14 which is quite small for my school and he mentioned my musical background because I play the cello violin and piano and did choir competitive I know Durham is quite big on we'll rounded ness and looks at the personal statement in depth so it should be fine
It's all a bit daunting when you hear people with 4 A* predicted
But because I'm doing geophysics with geology we will probably be a lot of the lectures
What college did you choose? I'm still stuck between cuths and Collingwood

I was stuck between Collingwood and johns, but put collingwood down when i sent my ucas yesterday. Wouldn't worry about extra curriculars sounds like you've got loads, i've only got rowing and climbing.

Where else have you applied?
The only none academic curricular was netball
But related was an online course physics work experience etc and documentaries and charity work etc.
Why did you choose Collingwood I was thinking Collingwood because I'm avid in sports and played netball for 8 years but I wanted to be on the bailey side near the nice buildings etc and not the modern buildings which I think is Collingwood.
Hence was stuck between cuths and collingwood
I'm sending mine probably the first week of December
UCL, Liverpool, Leeds and St Andrews( but I honestly don't think ill get into St Andrews)
At Liverpool, the course is more physics heave but the only place I applied geology with St Andrews

I would totally say to apply! I got an offer for law at AAB if i put it as my firm choice - it is usually AAA but they’re reduced it to AAB only if i put them as my form. I’m assuming they gave me a lower offer because of my area which is a lower socio economic area

The entry requirements aren't arbitrary - you're predicted to fulfil them (and those predictions look sensible in the context of your GCSE grades) so your application will be taken seriously. That doesn't guarantee that you'll get an offer but it does mean that you definitely stand a chance.

Do you have any tips?
