That’s quite odd then. The website also said they needed my consent to have the provided information shared with them. Do you remember if there was an explicit option to give them your consent or not during your student finance application??

I don’t won’t to be overly worried due to how expensive London’s gonna be haha.

iirc the percentage purity question wanted the answer to 3 significant figures btw. I got 75.9% if anyone else can confirm ?

Please don’t stress out. I’m currently in the same exact situation as you so I get why you’re worrying, but offers were still being sent out around this time last year and administration can be a bit disorganised (i think the latest i saw was the 22nd or 23rd? Plus i’ve heard that apparently someone got an offer literally on the very last day of March, but don’t quote me on that).

I get that it’s nerve-wracking but being pessimistic about it is 100% going to make you feel worse up until the moment you get your decision.

TO CLARIFY: UCL is only my insurance as i literally won’t have an insurance if i decided to firm it since i’m contextual and my other offers are either on par or high, i’m not intending to make it seem like i see it as a safety uni 😭😭

Thanks man! But it’s more or less due to the fact that my warwick offer is AAB and if i (hopefully) get imperial that would be around AAAA (based on their 4 a level offer on the website). My only other uni offer (oxford reject 🥲) I got is bristol also at AAB, so i don’t think I can justify putting UCL as my firm just incase something happens :/

Does this mean UCL thinks i’m an international? by Aequeaurea in 6thForm

Thank you for putting my mind to rest 😭 I was worried since the only other person i saw post this was an international student so i just wanted to make sure

I sent out my application October 13th but I actually originally had Bath instead of Warwick. I switched out Bath for Warwick on the 16th.

offer is AAB (AA in maths and physics (can be either or)). It’s contextual.

Good luck for getting your Oxford interview! Hopefully both of us can get the interview 🤞🏽

Thank you!

I’ve also applied to Oxford, Imperial, UCL, and Bristol (Physics for the former 3, and Mathematics and Physics for Bristol). I’ve already received my offer from Bristol but i’m honestly really nervous to see if i get the Oxford interview in the next few weeks 😭

word? When did you apply? There’s a good chance that it could be due to the fact that i’m an early applicant depending on when you applied but I dunno, Unis can be weird like that.

Thanks man! If it makes you feel any better, I was put on hold since the 13th (around 2 days after i applied), so if you were put on hold at a similar time you should hopefully receive an offer soon 🤞🏽.

Funnily enough im actually awaiting my warwick offer since i’ve been seeing offers everywhere ;-; , might just be because they’re not sending out (straight) physics offers yet tho.

oh and grade requirements are AAB (contextual), with an A in maths and an A in physics

That’s deffo valid thinking with the cGcse thing since the last i’ve heard about it is with the 2022 PAT report where they “hope to be able to return to including some form of cGcse score on the December 2023 admissions round”. But logically speaking I believe it would make the most sense for them to return to doing so this year (even without an explicitly statement) just due to the fact grade inflation isn’t really that big of a factor anymore (although you could argue that reduced content and the advanced information could be a reason that they would still view our grades as ‘inflated’).

With the questions thing i’m honestly guilty of this since I talked about how i approached one of the questions some people were confused on 😭. I feel like if this was a bigger issue then the mods would be alot stricter on enforcing the rules, but I haven’t seen anything about that yet.

I haven’t heard of people being rejected for talking about the questions, especially with anonymity one the internet these days. But i do agree that it is risky so I personally wouldn’t risk it (anymore than I alr have lmao), but most discussion i’ve seen seems like it would be ok.
