Thanks Shakir!!

😂 Don't know what made you go to that lecture but it might have been more interesting than programming

Tanya Daly wish U all the best

did you get in?

I completely forgot I even commented on this video. Nope, I decided I didn’t want to go to University yet. I took a year out instead

Zainab Thank you. I appreciate that!

@@tanyadaly did u get in?

Thanks so much for your comment! And apologies for the late response! And I'm glad you brought diversity up cause of course it's an important to know black people being represented. As a black student within my first two years it was pretty isolating, moving from my sixth form which was very diverse to uni was an entirely different experience for various reasons. I studied information management for business and whilst my class was diverse in a way my secondary school and sixth form wasn't, there still was not enough BAME representation on the course. Out of 110 or so students I was one of a total of 2 black students and that was quite isolating but it's varies between degrees. But then when I finally decided to join ACS sometime during my second year my experience changed and it made my time at UCL infinitely better because whilst the black caucus at UCL makes up a small percentage there is a lot of ACS members and you'll meet and make friends with students from other degrees

Hey there! I didn't do maths at A level I only had a GCSE but if you're good at Maths and are thinking about it for A level it's an added benefit for a business course

try ringing them to ask as sometimes they can make exceptions if you meet special requirements, otherwise you could maybe take a gap year and retake maths then reapply but i'm not sure if they would accept that as you would be sitting it in a different year

Thanks so much for the message I really appreciate that! And exactly like mia said they ocassionally make exceptions. However, a friend of mine who got into UCL the same year as me in 2016 had to retake GCSE english to get a C grade whilst doing A Levels to be able to get onto the Information Management course. So that may have to be an option but I really hope you get onto Urban Planning one way or another, you've got this!

Joshua Wayoe ah I just saw mias message now. Thank you for the advice. I don’t really have an option of retaking maths as I’m entering year 13 and I know I won’t be able to balance doing maths and 3 a levels at the same time. I heard they make exceptions for extraneous circumstances and for me that was going to one of the worst school in the U.K. which actually ended up getting shut down once the year after I left. I hope that gives me a good chance. I also have a lot of stuff on my personal statement which should look good :/ I’m just stressing too much about this lol

Joshua Wayoe if you’re don’t mind me asking, why did you hate urban planning sm?

@@user-qz9oz7ez7e 😂😂 I don't hate it actually despite how I made it sound! It's an amazing course and is perfect for those who want to go down the planning or architectural career path. I'm just not very creative and my mind isnt wired to perform well on the course or pursue as a career but the skills you learn on the course are second to none

Thanks Slaviana! 🙂

pokeblitzmon The UK MKBHD 😂 I wish but thanks a lot!

So typically they want a C/Grade 4 at least in English and Maths and I know a friend of mine had to retake English to get a C in 2016 before he could get an offer but they might make exceptions. If like me you did not do a foreign language for GCSE you have to take a 0 credit language course at UCL

@@JoshuaWayoe how long did the credit language course take to complete and is it time consuming?

@@AB-mb8uy The French module is 1 term long (10 weeks - 2 hour lectures per week). And it isn't too time consuming it can be in preparation for the exam. But it's 0 credits so if you have other exams or coursework you don't need to put extra pressure on yourself because you don't need to pass the module.

@@JoshuaWayoe okay thank you do they do Spanish as well?

@@JoshuaWayoe In my college there is an opportunity to take upon a language that can count as a gcse would that be acceptable for the qualification since i'm technically doing a gcse along with my a levels

*still

It changes year to year, some years they do but others they don't so it would be best to email admissions and check with them

@@JoshuaWayoe okay thank you!

find a course that u can get in wit ur grades and then make ur personal statement good

you could wait til after you get your a levels once you’ve worked really hard for your grades and you can apply to any course you want at UCL

Listen you did your best, keep your head up getting rejected is not the be all end all. I know at the moment you will feel deflated but you've done your best and sometimes universities make the wrong choices at the end of the day I'm sure you'll find the right uni whatever it may be 🙌🏾 you've got this :)

Joshua Wayoe Thanks that makes me feel a loot better :-) But I’m still not giving up, I want to do what you did and try and get in through adjustment but do you think it’s too risky to get in through adjustment on a completely different course only to try and transfer to the actual course you want to do once there??

@@smallcatbigmeowI'm glad it helped and definitely go for it!! And it depends on the department and course for mine for example it was incredibly difficult but it's worth the shot and I think if you can argue your case you can make the switch

hey, im thinking of applying to UCL for chemistry as well, if you don't mind can you tell me what were your predictions and if you did apply through adjustment? Or where you go now

@@narayanisinha336 hey ! I did an access course instead of a levels so the predictions might not make sense but I was predicted 44/44 distinctions which is the highest you could get. I did end up getting in to UCL through adjustment for a different course which is what I study now :)

CONGRATS 👏🏾👏🏾 So glad to hear that, so the hard work paid off! What will you be studying?

How did u get in?

@@snhtsljedc9803 I got in a while ago but uh I forgot abt this my dad helped a lot cuz he went to ucl
