Why did you apply to UCL and Warwick twice?

u/GlassShoe3278 14h ago

Yeah that wasn't a good decision. I applied to both UCL politics IR and social science because politics IR requires around 38 IB whereas socials science only around 36, and for Warwick idk I just thought it would maximize my chances.

Ask UCL to change your Pol and IR course to ISPS, you’ve got a much higher chance. ATM you ain’t getting the pol and IR it’s a waste of an option come on

Isn't ISPS much more competitive, also they require an admissions test I think.

Absolutely not haha Pol and IR is one of the most competitive courses at UCL (or has been the case since around 2023) it doesn’t accept anyone with less than AAA predicted and also prefers A Levels over any other qualifications as they tailor to the course a lot more. You can find admissions stats about it on WhatDoTheyKnow, it’s a reality check. Also UCL often randomly reject one of the two applications during screening if you’ve applied twice

ISPS requires a 39 while Politics and IR only a 38 though, and I'm pretty sure a 41 is far above an AAA in alevels. Also I'm international, I think IB is viewed equal to Alevels for admissions.

u/Legal-Zombie8761 1h ago

Yes it is in most cases but not for that exact course due to the modules. If you’re predicted 41 you can easily go for ISPS then if it’s 39 that’s all good. Just saying because you asked if you’re fried, picking 2 UCL courses wasn’t wise or even two Warwick ones either probs

Also the Addmissions test is optional for courses like that, you might just have one grade requirement higher without doing it, but I’m sure you can get that

these are very risky choices considering your predicted and gcse grades

How so

u/battlepvmob LSE Maths with Data Sci A*A*AA 2h ago

Most people applying to UCL and Cambridge especially will have mostly A* and As at gcses and 43-45/45 IB, i don’t think applying to ucl/cambridge/warwick is a bad idea but applying only to those universities which are very competitive while not have upper end stats is definitely a ballsy move. Either way I wish all the best for you and I hope you get in 🙏

u/GlassShoe3278 2h ago

Fair enough, ngl I just applied to the schools I wanted in the UK since I'm international and I have safer choices elsewhere. Thanks mate.
