[Official] Computer Science applicants thread 2024 entry

if it helps i’m in the same boat at the moment

nice bro
im doing them two as well as manchester, durham and leeds

Cool, what are your predicted grades

3 A* bro but i did maths cs french
thats why i didnt apply to cambridge or oxford
are your school lenient with predicted

Nope they are very strict, going to a grammar school I tried getting the A increase cause I was a mark away and they denied it

unlucky bro
you could reapply next year with achieved grades
sorry to hear that though
A*AA wouldve been perfect

I am hopping if I apply to less popular unis like Leeds Cardiff and queen marry I might just scrape it in hopefully do you think that possible lol

well are you eligible for a contextual bro
its worth a try
also is there nothing you can do to persuade your school

1) Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science and Physics
2) Cambridge, Imperial College, UCL, Durham, Leeds
3) GCSEs: 9999988888 / A-Levels Predicted: A*A*A*A*
4) Enjoy maths and problem-solving and aim to be a software engineer
5) Sat TMUA already
6) Attended open days at Cambridge, Imperial and UCL
7) Excited to start Uni
8) No

Nope I have tried anything but I might be able to get the grades to A*A*b if teacher is lenient for bio, and no I am not eligible for the contextual. Just hoping I can get into carrot cause I meet the entry requirements

How did you find the TMUA? And also when do you think we’ll hear back from Cambridge.? Before the TMUA results are released or after?

I found paper 1 really hard but paper 2 quite easy, so overall I think I did decently. Just hoping for a high enough score. I think we will hear back from Cambridge shortly after the TMUA results are released (28th November). How was it for you?

The papers weren’t that bad (not that they were easy at all) but time was a big problem. I ended up guessing a lot of them. Just stressed abt my score cuz I don’t think I did as well as I could’ve done. Scared they might reject pre interview

Advanced highers (scottish equivalent of A levels): maths, physics, computing
predicted AAA (and band ones but we can’t submit them on ucas)
highers AAAAAA (all band ones)
applied to cambridge, st andrews, duhram, edinburgh, glasgow
i sat the TMUA last week, honestly no clue how i got on but not too confident. paper 1 was atrocious and paper 2 was lovely.

computer science is what i’ve done most for years and had my heart set on, and i love maths and logic as well so the maths parts of the academic programmes seems perfect

has anyone received an offer yet from any of these unis? or know when about they would be sent?

predicted same as u (math physics econ) are you applying to any schools w an a*? i am applying to bristol but nervous due to my predicteds
