UCL robotics and AI typical offers?

I just got my report I got 2A*s in maths and physics and 2As in DT and further maths, I want to know if I even have a shot if I apply so what do people who got in already get in their alevels? or what are your offers?? thanks a bunch👍👍

Also does anyone know how many people apply and how many actually get accepted? - like the number not the proportion?

according to ucl's website, there were 52 students on the course last year.

and according to ucas website, the most common grades are A*A*A*, and lowest were AAA (with a 46% chance of getting in with these grades).
3 in 20 students who applied were offered a place.

Hope this was helpful :smile:

no worries! im glad you found it useful

i found it by searching H700 on UCAS (H700 is the course code). Scroll to the bottom where it says Entry Grades Data.
The 46% chance was the chance of being accepted with AAA 🙂

Hi, do you understand how it makes sense that 46% of students with AAA were except, even though those were the lowest grades and the overall acceptance rate was 15%? I'm confused. Thank you!

yess ill try explain this to the best of my ability (:

so the statistic doesnt mean that 46% of the people who got accepted into the course got AAA.
but rather that out of all the people who applied with AAA as their grade, 46% of them were accepted. that more or less means that you have a 46% chance of being accepted with the grades AAA.

and what you said about the 15% acceptance rate... this percentage takes into account all of the people who were successful. that means 85% of the people who applied were rejected, because their personal statement was weak, or their grades didnt meet the standard.

here is a numerical scenario to put it into perspective:

Imagine a course, with an overall acceptance rate of 15%, receives 1000 applicants.
This means only 150 students are accepted.

Imagine 100 of them got AAA grades.
Of the 100 applicants with AAA grades, 46% (or 46 students) are accepted.
For the remaining 900 non-AAA applicants, 104 are accepted, giving them an acceptance rate of approximately 11.56%.

i hope this makes sense lemme know if you need further clarification!

I'm a current student (2nd Year), I remember speaking to some current 1st years about this as well, and we all seemed to get our offers around the end of march (26th in my case). So hold tight and I wish you the best of luck!!

Thank you for sharing, I will be more patient. How did you find your first year? I believe that there are no exams at the end of the year and rather the coursework is assessed throughout the year. Is this correct, if so how do you cope with the regular assessments?

Yeah I did get an offer today, my stats aren’t that great, I am predicted:
A* - Maths
A - Psychology
B - Compsci
So I scraped it as I was eligible for contextual, my GCSe’s were quite mediocre mainly 6’s so I believe my experience and PS carried my application
