Durham CS

I'm applying for Durham with A*A*A*A in Maths, Physics, CompSci, and FM respectively. I would say my personal statement is pretty strong. How likely would I be able to get an offer?

Hi, on the Durham website the entry requirements for A level including Maths are A*AA. If you have 4A*s and one A at a level then the chances seem pretty high. https://www.durham.ac.uk/study/courses/computer-science-g400/#entry-requirements

Additionally, I found that 75 out of 91 of new entrants to Computer Science at Durham University did A/AS levels. Out of the 75 who did A/AS Levels 55 (73%) did further maths at AS or A level. It could mean that doing further maths could help, but with your grades I think you have a great chance.

Also are you applying to Cambridge or Oxford?

Yes. I've applied to Cambridge. Really hoping I do well for the TMUA especially since I've been revising for so long. But I know I should still be excited for other unis in case I don't get in.
