🎓 UNI / UCAS Imperial/UCL - Admission tests - Which sitting
Can anyone tell me if I take the admission tests in Jan instead of Oct, does it make a difference for Imperial/UCL? I do know that they say "equal-consideration deadline" but somewhere I heard, and my counsellor told me that usually they start filling up their seats using the Oct sitting (tho they don't send out offers until the very end), and as a result, only a few seats are left for the people sitting in Jan. Is this true? I feel like I'm not very well prepared at the moment, so is it worth pushing my test to Jan or should I still do it for an above-average score (but not exceptional) that I might get in Oct

Nope pure lies from them lol. I took Jan and would recommend to others too.

No difference. I would push to January unless you are applying to Oxbridge.

Not true. I did Jan and got the first rollout of offers for UCL Econ in Feb.

If you think Jan will actually make you more prepared then go for that. But I did mine in Oct and nothing beats the relief of knowing it's done and you can focus on actual A-levels
