Can I still get into UCL

I am currently in Year 12 studying A-level Maths, Economics and Psychology. I am interested in studying Economics at UCL, but I am unsure whether this would still be possible given my GCSE results: 8776655554

I plan to sit the TMUA and will be aiming for a strong score. If I were to achieve a good TMUA result, alongside strong predicted A-level grades and a competitive personal statement, would I still realistically have a chance of being considered?

Honestly, applications are considered holistically, looking at various attributes of what you submit into UCAS.

•

You meet the A-level subjects the Economics course has written out “A* in Mathematics required, plus if Economics is offered it must be grade A.”

•

You need to submit your predicted grades which are near/meet the requirements of the course to get a chance of consideration

•

You need to have done the TMUA to have even considered if you could even “get into” UCL, but if you had a strong TMUA score your application should naturally be seen in a stronger light

•

Similar to the TMUA comment, you haven’t written your personal statement, but if it were truly strong/competitive, you should be fine

•

As long as your english or math GCSE’s are not at a grade 4, you’ll be fine
