It's a new subject nobody has studied it. I'm gonna try my luck A(Maths)A(Law)B(Econ) Predicted grades. it aligns with my career goals and the modules that you take are highly employable skills being at UCL is even better because of the reputation. I probably won't get an offer even though the entry requirement is ABB but we will see I guess.

You don’t have to say if it’s too personal but were you successful in meeting the GCSE requirements for the program?

Yep I got a grade 7 in maths GCSE and 5 in English Language GCSE. I’d consider myself lucky to be honest. You only need a 7 if you don’t do A-level maths though.

Honestly it’s been a while, but I’d say go through your spec thoroughly. Then complete as many past paper exam questions. Then go to your weak topics and do as many questions possible. Just constant exam question practice should be enough to get a grade 7.

Oh no, best of luck for your other options. Its so unfair tho, if you’re predicted grades were so good and you met the GCSE criteria then how are you getting rejected for such a new program.

Exactly what I thought. Their reasoning in the rejection was that there was high competition. 😭😭 oh well. lets see if anyone else gets in with lower grade if that happens I’ll Appeal.

Social Sciences BA.

If I am accepted into the program, there are two different paths I can take: Social Policy and Education. I have decided to pursue Social Policy. Once I complete my undergraduate studies, I plan to pursue a master's degree at either LSE or UCL and possibly even in the United States.
