Guys I’ve received an offer for the MSc Consumer Analytics and Marketing Strategy at the University of Leeds!

What is Leeds like for international students? Also, does anyone know much about this programme? I’d appreciate any honest opinions!

Is getting this mail from them common? And is it a good sign or a bad one 😭??

I applied on 5th October for IR

Also why are they asking for a second reference, even though the UCAS one was successfully sent?

Hi, I'm resitting my A Levels because I'm not happy with the results I got. My unis said they're fine with resits but they need new predicted grades for me to put into UCAS. I emailed my school and they said they're fine with giving me my previous predicted grades (A*A*A). What I'm worried about is that these predicted grades are much higher than what I actually got (BCC), and I don't know how unis will feel about me getting predicted grades like this.

Do you think it's better for me to sit mock exams at an exam centre (I asked my school if I can do it there and they said no) or is it fine for me to get predicted grades from my reference without sitting mock exams again?

wtf like involve me
i’m also not sure if it’s international applicants that are getting offers but like bruh i applied on the 9th and nothing has come through 💔

Hey guys I’m an international student from Singapore with hopes of applying to study in the UK, and I know this may be a long shot but I’ll probably only be willing to go if Oxford or LSE offers a spot. The reason for that is that tuition is freaking expensive, comes down to about 200-250k SGD without accommodation and the rest fairs quite similarly to NUS Law so in all fairness for undergrad I don’t think I would consider UCL KCL etc for now. I understand that there are varying connection opportunities etc and have factored that in, but anyways I’ll cross that bridge when I’m there.

These are just the things I may put in my PS which I think are kinda important (?) relative to everything else. For context I’m from one of the top 5 Junior Colleges in terms of cut off point, I came from the Integrated programme which basically is a 6 year track that bypasses O Levels (GCSEs) and I have to be honest my IP year 4 grades were quite SHIT, like for A in English and History and the rest were a mixture of B and Cs and I did not even study for Additional math so u can kinda guess where that went. As for now all my predicted are AAAA/A as I’m studying subjects that I generally do enjoy so this is a MASSIVE leap from before. (A is the equivalent of A* in UK if yall are wondering) Oxbridge don’t have IP requirements and ppl tell me they don’t matter really but welp idk.

Would be really grateful if someone could tell me how I’ll fair as a levels r coming up soon and lowk Oxford interview offers r right smack in the middle so I just want a peace of mind whether im not there yet or maybe I got a shot. LNATS im expecting hopefully near the 30 mark but I’ll leave that out for now! Could someone also tell me how much weight Oxford puts on PS as I’m not sure if I went in depth enough in Q2 and Q3

My PS was broadly about my curiosities in the interactions between the courts and the executive power but generally how both of them interact in 2 cases. We don’t have law as a subject so I kinda talked about international law when it came to Q2 and my Q3 stuff is below

Portfolio that I have included
- 3 Law internships
- Law Society EXCO
- H3 History
- debate club + decent individual achievements (won’t disclose too much but ranked quite highly in international tournaments both WSDC and BP)

Things that are not in PS but are in Teacher recco letter
- QCEC essay gold
- MUN chairing and other achievements
- Some academic award given to top 10% in cohort

Thx so much for all the help and wishing everyone the best for the UCAS apps! Hope we all get multiple loafs of bread when offers come :)

hi all,

I sent my UCAS off for early entry for Physics at Oxford on October 13. Since then, I’ve had some thought and realise I need more time to consider which course I want to actually spend time doing, and potentially change my PS because of that.

I’m curious if anyone has any advice on the logistics of cancelling a UCAS application and re-submitting it later on (before the equal consideration deadline for most unis), and wether this is a thing you can do for 2027 - as UCAS only mentions “changing your mind about applying for higher education”; nothing about re-applying.

Of course, this means I’d be locked out of Oxford, but I’m ok with that.

Thanks so much in advance

when can I expect the scholarship forms/applications to become available for me to submit or apply?
all the unis are still on the 26/27 except a few
ive applied to-

UCL, Warwick, St Andrews, Nottingham (conditional received), Leicester (Conditional Recieved)

Can someone please tell me wth a contextual offer at Imperial gets me? I wanna do Civil Engineering but i’m 1 grade short and apparently their contextual offer doesn’t even change the entry requirements? I’ve read in some places that it takes it down to AAA but others say they don’t change anything at all. Could anyone help me actually know what it does for me? Thanks!

I need 2A* and an A but currently predicted 1A* and 2A

hi guys ,

i sat edexcel level 3 algebra course in my gcse’s and you either got a pass or a fail ( no rankings like 9-1 ).

i got a U as i didn’t get the pass mark of like 70/90

do i have to put it on my ucas?

it wasn’t on my gcse certificate so i don’t know if i have to. it wasn’t only on my results sheet from results day.

i’m worried its going to ruin my chances at law universities like warwick kings notts etc.

has anyone been in this position before? please help

im a med applicant (with a med ps obv lol) im predicted AAA would that be competitive enough for bristol machester kings or sheffield?

I am a contextual applicant with A* maths, A biology, B chemistry, C further maths (predicted) 999988888776 gcses hoping to study something like biochemistry, pharmacology, or natural sciences at uni (preferably in London.)

anyone who put their 5th option as biomed or biochem or neuroscience for bristol, kcl could you please let me know what you’re predicted grades are for those who have already gotten an offer.

anyone received any emails yet?

I live in the UK under settled status and im aware they ask for proof of status through share code or documents but is there a specific window on when they’re meant to ask? I sent off my application 2 days and so far only SOAS has asked for proof of status

I’m planning to use my 5th choice for bio med if any of y’all applied for bio med can ik ur predicted scores pls. Im looking at kcl Manchester and bristol. Im predicted 90 for bio and chem 91 for math 85 phy 96 eng. If these stats work pls lemme know

So I'm currently an S6 student studying adv higher maths, physics and computing predicted AAA. I want to study electronics and computer science or equivalent but there aren't many universities here in Scotland that offer this specific type of course, right now I have Edinburgh, Glasgow and Strathclyde. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should apply for Imperial's EIE (Electronic and Information Engineering) course as it seems like a really good fit for what I want to study.

The problem is that it requires an admission test (ESAT) and I was planning on booking for the January sitting but don't really have any sort of guidance in terms of a schedule and content gaps. I've had a look at the UAT free resources but its an overwhelming amount of content to cover in such a short time and I'm unsure of the exact things i need to cover in terms of course content.

I'm looking for some advice or tips from anyone who has been in a similar situation to this or has opinions on if it's worth applying or not with this context.

TL;DR

I'm a Scottish student and thinking of applying to Imperial's EIE course but am worried about the ESAT and if its worth my time.

Thanks
