do i have a chance at robotics engineering at bath?

im in year 12 right now and predicted A*A*A in physics, maths, and chem. im also doing a global perspective AS and ive been working at a garage for the past year or so. i was part of an outreach programme in year 10/11 and ive done some MOOCs. my GCSE stats are 99888888662. im not doing any extracurriculars but i think i might join a physics orengineering society and do some subject related reading. would i have a chance of getting in?

Hiya thata,

Thanks for posting and sharing your stats. Whilst its always impossible to predict the likelihood of someone being made an offer for any course, your stats and all the things you are doing sound like you'd be in a good place to make a competitive application! So I would say if you keep working hard at your A-Levels, follow up on that subject-related reading (embracing the reading rabbit holes!) and put in a strong personal statement, then this will put you in a good place. Have you also considered doing an EPQ on something related to robotics alongside your A Levels?

Whilst there are no guarantees, from what you have described you absolutely do have a chance, just keep doing what you're doing and get as much support from your teachers as you can 🙂

Best of luck this year and next!

Apart from Mech Eng, Engineering courses at Bath are not actually that competitive at all.
