ucl international management

Applied for UCL IM with achieved grades of A*AB as a contextual student. (contextual requirements are ABB) I heard the course generated 3k applicants last year with 80 places given and I could actually cry. (however pretty sure 300 offers were given and not all accepted onto a place?)

I got accepted into manchester this year for IM and just waiting for UCL now. How likely do you think i’ll be considered for an offer? Subjectively ofc.

For extra context my gcses are okay, 88888777 and I went to a school so bad they wouldn’t let me take more than 8 GCSEs.

As you said the competition for places on this course is brutal even for people without the contextual flag so the chances for everyone are pretty slim individually. There's nothing much you can do now but wait and see if the contextual flag and your personal statement is enough to tilt the scales for you. Good luck !

honestly for a competitive course as this it will ultimately come down to your ps so there is no way to tell for sure or even really predict whether you'll get in or not. that said, just hope for the best and wishing you good luck! :smile:
