ucat score application ! (london + oxbridge)
hey so i have a ucat score of 2880 b2 and am currently predicted a*a*a (maybe 3 a stars) with gcses of 999888877, would ucl / kings be out of the option? i was really thinking about ucl however i know my ucat would be on the lower side. same with kings but i know i've seen people with lower ucat scores get in so feel a bit more confident about this one.
also was potentially planning to apply for cambridge - i'm currently on the apply cambridge scheme if that helps with anything? - but again i know that my ucat score is going to be considerably lower than other people, however i really appreciate cambridge's holistic approach to applications so I think i may go for it as my aspirational.
already kind of have an idea for my other 2 places so its just the last 2 that i'm unsure about (and i would quite like to have a london uni down as an option. i was looking at barts but i probably would prefer ucl or kings)
thanks in advance for any advice!!
