PPE at ucl??

Hi, does anyone have any thoughts on applying to PPE at UCL (contextual offer being A* in maths then B,B in the other two subjects) with predicted grades ABB. I am really confident that I can get an A* and also have extenuating circumstances in my reference + a bursary, might I be considered ????

Thanks

Hi there! I am not applying as a contextual applicant and hence can't necessarily speak from experience. However, given you are most probably going to be considered contextual, you may want to have that A* in your pocket if you don't already have it. I'm an int student and can't speak too much on behalf of the system, but I am a PPE applicant who, besides not qualifying for contextual applications, tried my very best to get grades above the normal conditional offers. Perhaps you'd want to have, on that note, an A* so you'd feel secure about your application. However, I'm just a regular PPE applicant so you'd probably find more utility with some home students answering this questions. Cheers!

Omg I'm kinda in a similar boat. I'm predicted A*A*AB (an the A is in maths not an A*). My gcses are average but due to my illnesses. I'm scared I won't even be considered or even given an offer (but atheist I've tried ig) Please could you tell me anything if you find out? Thank you

hey did you apply to UCL? i have similar gcse circumstances to you and wondering if you got in. ik they’re still sending offers out atm

Hi, I did end up applying to UCL as I did have a 5th spot which I didn’t really have a specific uni to put in; therefore there was no harm in trying to apply for me. I still haven’t heard back from them yet (but no one in my school even with really good grades has heard back from UCL for ppe, so I’m not sure if they want me or don’t want me yet). If you were to take my recommendation, just do it! The luck may be in our favour (+ we not ‘bad’ candidates, we do have a chance)

Hi which unis did you apply to, I am similar in the fact that extenuating circumstances have been mentioned in my reference however I am not eligible for a conditional offer, only a standard offer
