I need help - kings college London vs UCL

So basically I got into Kings for history and political economy which I really love because the course offers a study abroad to UCLA for the 2nd semester of 2nd year as well as their modules being absolutely brilliant. Kings is initially my first choice however I'm waiting on UCL for politics & international relations.

Do you think I'm absolutely stupid for wanting to pick Kings over UCL???

im superficial so id look at world ranking to choose

im superficial so id look at world ranking to choose

what does that get you outside of imaginary clout from your partner's parents?
QS ranks King's > UCL in politics, THE ranks UCL > King's in social sciences…

as for data points on said options:
UCL = AAA/38IB avg offer → 23% offer rate → £27.7k avg starting salary
King's = AAA/35IB avg offer → 84% offer rate → £22.5k avg starting salary

[voting UCL, having attended and withdrawn from both (Bartlett & Poon Law)]

what benefits does ucl offer and is going to ucla really that important (in your opinion)

yeah, my academic journey is pre-med to chasing prestige [btwn law & business] back to med, enrolled and walked away from Cornell Johnson, UCL Bartlett, and King's Law in last few years (not something to be proud of).
voted UCL just bcs all data points seem to favor it btwn academic aptitude of classmates and what rewards you might reap coming out, all other things equal.
also, as I had a best friend who attended UCLA, its a nice campus near Beverly Hills, but 4months there is hardly worth such a big decision considering y'all can't just switch majors or transfer unis as flippantly as we Americans do…
[just my 2¢]

wow, what a journey. what are you doing now lol

hi there, congrats on your offers! hard pick.. not stupid at all for wanting to attend Kings, super great uni. It's hard though to not let ranking sway your choice, UCL is super prestigious. I think it's more relevant considering the types of students you will be around, considering UCL is in that different bracket of competitive. Ultimately, you will likely be equally as successful either way, so either path will be great! Do you mind me asking what your offer was for kings? waiting to hear back myself for the same degree

I've actually ended up firming kings, I just love the degree way more than UCL's politics and international relations. I haven't met a lot of people that have applied for the course so great to know you've applied!! My offer was ABB

How did u manage to get an ABB offer, I applied for the same course but have to get AAA in my A-Levels now 😂

I got a contextual offer!! Good luck with ur a-levels hopefully we both get in

I’m still unsure about it I have offers for EPP at Warwick and Politics & Economics at Nottingham. I haven’t even firmed or insured yet 😭😭

Same here im stuck between Kings and Bristol 😭 did u firm anywhere yet?

Yeahh I do plan on staying in accommodation, I just can't decide between the 2 😭 We get a guaranteed offer of accommodation as long as we firm by the deadline right?
