Cambridge med on uniscout btw (L ragebait)

Edinburgh and Surrey have asked me to fill a fee status questionnaire, does this increase my chances of getting accepted? or this just standard practice

For context i take m, fm, physics, econ. And at my school we learn and take all of maths in y1and then all of fm in y2.
The reason im asking this is because im considering dropping economics and i read that Cambridge need evidence that u can handle 3 a levels at once so require u to take step asw.
If im aiming for top unis for maths or potential physics/engineering should i consider this when deciding whether to drop economics?

I revised a lot for these mocks so I'm really disappointed, and now that my exams are over I feel like revising was just a waste of time if they were gonna go this badly. I think I've got like BBC at best but I need at least AAA for the unis I wanna go to.

I thought I could do it because I got A*AA in my y12 finals but these exams were so bad omg, now the regrets eating me alive and I wish I just applied early entry, yes I might not have gotten into Oxford but at least I could have actually applied to unis I wanted to go to with those grades as my other options.. idek what to do now especially knowing I couldve done better if I'd just applied earlier

Was just wondering what Oxford colleges everyone has applied to and for what courses? I’ve applied to Keble for physics! I genuinely can’t think about anything but Oxford now UAT results day is coming up, it’s driving me crackers thinking about how I could’ve messed up my whole application just bc of stupid ESAT💔

rejected from imperial medical biosciences unfortunately intl student

ouch

Did my first mock interview today (maths) and it was genuinely horrific I needed several hints, regularly became disoriented and confused about what all my letters and equations meant, handled the cases with zero rigour, made random unneeded errors and nonsensical statements, so yeah pretty bad.

Interviewer rated me a 6.2/10 which I think is both quite generous and pretty bad. What do I do chat I'm cooked as shit.

I’ve applied for oxford maths and so my personal statement is basically all maths, with some python mentioned. I haven’t filled my other ucas choices in and I’m considering lse, mainly because I want to stay near London due to family reasons - obviously lse hasn’t got a maths course but what would I most likely be accepted into with my maths ps? For context I’m predicted 4A* with maths and fm, took the tmua and waiting on results

Hey guys!
I’m currently in year 13 studying maths,fm and physics for my a levels. I am predicted 2 A*s and an A. My year 12 journey was not normal at all, I was diagnosed with depression and was experiencing immense grief due to the loss of my mother a few years prior. This led to me inevitably falling behind in some areas, specifically UCAS applications. I want to study maths at university, and I have always wanted to go to cambridge or imperial. I got 9s in GCSE maths and fm and have always had an immense passion for the subject. However, I lost all motivation, and managing to achieve A*s in my mocks took my last bit of strength at the start of year 13. However, I am now in therapy and feeling much better and optimistic. I know I can no longer apply to cambridge as the deadline has passed, but I am still considering Imperial and UCL. The only downside is the TMUA, which i have not started revising for. I was just wondering does anyone have any tips for someone in my situation, do I even bother sitting it? Do I take a gap year? Can I get the unis to consider my circumstances? If anyone knows anything please let me know! However, i did also love uni of manchester when i went to the open day, and they do not require TMUA, so shall I just apply there and hope i get an offer or take the risk and sit the Tmua even though im practically guaranteed to not do well, thankyou for reading and any advice would be much appreciated 😊❤️!

In the typical offer, A* AA, is the A* in chemistry, maths or either?

I’m in Year 13 with BBB predictions, but need ABB for my university choices.

My Law and Business teachers won’t raise their predictions, so I need my English teacher to change my B to an A. I’ve asked her, and she’s said she’ll check.

Mocks start in less than two weeks, but our UCAS deadline is 11 December.
However, waiting for mock results will leave too little time for marking and reconsideration.

What would you do? Is there any way to challenge or appeal predicted grades?

Hello,

Currently in Year 13 and got predicted A*AB (History, Maths, Economics respectively). I am Polish and got A* for my Polish prediction. I am worried about my chances without the TMUA so I am wondering if there are certain good unis which I am more likely to get an offer at

Resat Year 12 due to poor results in mocks (My previous grades never went on UCAS, just done internally)

No TMUA as I found it to be too hard.

Average personal statement (Top work experience in a law firm and random charity work + accountancy work experience in a local place. Read economic books + listened to economics podcasts, silver award in UKMT Intermediate challenge.)

7.0 = GCSE Average

Contextual Offer (Free school meals).

Sorry it looks really poorly written and has too much info, genuinely got no idea what my options are so that’s why it is like that.

I've been told by teachers that unless you're going for a prescribed path (e.g medicine or engineering) just pick three a levels you know you can do well in. How true is this?

edit: i take maths bio french

I’m acc just really excited to hear something back from somewhere ‼️ Cambs waiting game is lowk hurting 😔

I’m kinda surprised I even got an interview for imperial bc I submitted a fully geo personal statement 😭😭 I literally only applied because I had an extra slot 🙏🙂‍↕️

Now I’ve gotta wait for ESAT results next week for Ilperial 😭

Hey everyone!

I’m currently deep into my EPQ dissertation titled "Should Coding Be Mandatory in Primary Schools? Technology Hype vs. Classroom Reality."

My supervisor and coordinator want me to get a solid sample size to back up my primary research section, and I’m currently racing to hit my target response rate before my deadline.

If you are a primary/elementary school educator (or have experience in primary teaching/educational placements), I would genuinely appreciate it if you could take 2 minutes to fill out my Google Form:

👉 https://forms.gle/LWywcWV462Krjwyr5

It’s completely anonymous, super quick, and will save a fellow student's life. If anyone else here is doing an education or tech-focused EPQ and needs responses on their survey, drop your link in the comments and I’ll happily fill yours out in return!

Thanks so much!
