University College London Applicant Thread 2026

I'm also applying for the Biochemistry MSci course!! I'm predicted 3A* in Bio/Chem/FM and achieved A* in Maths. My GCSEs are 9999999887.
I attended an open day already I think back in June. I feel like the area around UCL is quite lovely (definitely a step-up compared to where I live), so I applied. I also did some tasters at UCL East and I really like the informal teaching atmosphere.
I've also applied to Cambridge (Emma), Imperial, KCL, and Durham.

Hey everyone
1) I do Maths, Physics, Chemistry & Further Maths at A Level
2) Natural Sciences: I can specialise in organic chem and neuroscience & psychology (I wanna go into drug development so it makes sense)
3) Predicted A*A*A*A at A Level (messed up fm lmao), seven 9s three 8s and a 7 at GCSE
4) I love the course and I'm a Londoner, so can lime/take the train to uni (gotta live out for first year though)
5) I'm wayy too lazy for that, but I did go to a finance talk randomly in Year 12 at the uni, so I kinda know my way around main campus (although I live equidistant between both campuses)
6) I can't wait (if I can even manage to get into uni that is)
7) Imperial, Cambridge (for bants), Warwick and KCL

Hi everyone!
1) I do English Lit, History, French and Theatre Studies
2) English just because I love the subject and the UCL course is super!
3) 4A*s at A Level, nine 9s and one 8 at GCSE
4) Again I love the course, plus it’s a London uni so I can commute and save a lot of money on accommodation
5) I attended one in the summer but I’ve already sent in my application now so probably not
6) Excited and terrified in equal measure I think
7) Cambridge, York, Durham and KCL

Good luck with applications!!

Another person for biochem 🥳🥳

Hi! I’m doing biology, chemistry, maths, and psychology. I got 9998888776. I don’t have predicted grades yet but i’m hoping around A*AAA. I want to apply for pharmacy here (bc it’s close to home and one of the best unis in the world), and Kings College and Kingston. I’m also wanting to apply for 2 dentistry courses at KCL. My personal statement is going to be about dentistry however, so if anyone has any advice for me that would be greatly appreciated.

1) History, English Lit and Politics (+EPQ)
2) Education, society and culture - I love working in an interdisciplinary way and the intersection of culture and education is fascinating.
3) GCSE - 99999998888
A-Level - A* A* A* (A* in EPQ)
4) The course looks amazing!
5) No unfortunately not though I am going to look around the area.
6) Nervous but also really excited to learn so many new things
7) Cambridge, Durham, Warwick and Lancaster
