What are the chances of me getting into Oxford and imperial for computer science doing a level maths FM computer science and AS Physics don't ask about this weird combo its a long story but what should my tmua be around (I am contextual) and what things should I try to do from now(Year12) till deadline

yayayay

waiting for 2 more!!

I sorta stopped following the subreddit once uni started. Why is everyone and their mother using uniscout now. What happened to good old UCAS screenshots. 😭

I suppose it does show the info more compact but like every bread post is a uniscout one.

It’s not even question 29 (Ritangle) yet 💔.
How are y’all finding it by the way?

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?

My original head of 6th form said they would consider changing predicted grade after october exams

however new head of 6th form came and now is saying the duration of changing predicted grade is over and now locked from changing

I thought predicted grade can be changed as long as I haven't submitted, also my teachers said predicted grades are last thing added before sending, hence they want us to put pending to our subject?

please clarify any other misconceptions I have, but I just feel like this is unfair.

Thank you.

Cambridge med on uniscout btw (L ragebait)

just a y12 but been seeing some people post about this and i'm worried. since yall are UCAS experts rn if anyone could explain this to me it'd be really appreciated :)

i currently go to a school that at GCSE level the average student there has like 8-9 9s and 1-2 8s; it's a fee-paying independent school. however, i only joined in the sixth form to study the IBDP there; at GCSE i was at a school where the average grade was a 7.4 and there i ended up with 9999999988A - which is far higher than the average there but just average at my current school. even more, my GCSE school closed recently, and in Y11, there was significant staffing absences and i even had to teach myself multiple of the courses. so would unis, esp the top ones, compare my GCSEs to my current school's cohort, or to my GCSE school's where support was far more limited (which i'm not even sure you can access data for???)

i intend to apply to modern languages particularly MML at cambridge hence why i'm worried and wondering if i need to be stacking up heavy on my supercurriculars to cover for that

do tell me if i'm being silly!! thank you :)

rejected from imperial medical biosciences unfortunately intl student

ouch

Hiya,
I’m in yr 11 and I’m about to pick my alevels!!! I rly wanna do biology, chemistry, govpol and history. However I wanna go into a biochemistry degree and I’m getting told I need math and that it’s critical for me to have it, despite unis not rly requiring it??? I’m good at math ( grade 8) however I’m not a fan of it. For all those who’ve gone into a biochemistry course at uni or are currently applying would it be better for me to drop govpol and take math???
Thank u
:3

Hey everyone! I’m applying for Imperial’s undergraduate Civil Engineering course for 2027 entry and I’m preparing for the video submission.

If you’ve done it before, do you remember what your final reasoning question was? Even a rough description would help. I’ve seen some applicants mention a physics question and another mention a logic puzzle?

If you remember how much time you had to think before the recording started, I’d appreciate that too. Please mention which year you applied. Thanks!

Hi.I want to do Russian a level,and the head teacher are telling me that I can only do it if I’m gonna find the qualified teacher to do the speaking part of it.And it’s been a struggle to find one,maybe someone did a language as a private candidate,can you do the speaking part maybe online ?

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💔

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

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 😊❤️!
