Since I'm applying for Oxford, the deadline is next week but I still haven't decided on my uni choices ahh-
A little background information - I'm likely to secure a spot at an average uni in my home country, so I'll probably be applying to aspiring unis in the uk ( rather than average ones ), just so that I have more options. If I got to choose, I would definitely study in the uk! (been there last year)
I have to admit, my predicted levels aren't high - A*AA, and I don't have a lot of awards from competitions. However, I do have a few supercurriculars like internships and summer programs. Also, I'd say I have a strong personal statement. As for the LNAT- I just took it a couple days ago and I'm not sure how it went. My MC scores are usually 24-29
Here are the unis I'm considering
- Oxford
- UCL
- Durham/KCL (idk which one!)
- Warwick
- Birmingham
My main considerations are the opportunities they offer/teaching quality/student life etc. Location isn't a factor as I love both city and rural life. I know there are websites out there that have statistics on these, but from what I've heard they aren't accurate, just like the rankings on other platforms. I have friends from Cambridge and LSE so I did ask them about their views on these unis, but I just want to hear from other students/people on this platform!
Do let me know what you think/if you have any advice- what are the odds of me getting in? ( again, I know my grades aren't the best so pls don't come at me for applying to these unis, I know they are far-fetched ;w; but to me this is just a long shot because if I don't get into these unis, might as well stay in my home country as there's a conversion exam, plus the fees T-T)
