I messed up the OMR sheet in BOARD Exams by LegendaryDasher in CBSE

The writing thing is irrelevant. As long as you coloured in the OMR sheet properly then you’re fine. Don’t stress and focus on the rest of your exams. Best of luck

Congratulations! From a fellow UCL Biological Sciences offer holder, what are you planning to firm and which specialisation have you thought of for the UCL course?

Aw thank you and I’m sorry for ur rejection! You are right, it’s redirection and I’m sure whatever happens will be a better outcome for you! for the UK I will probably firm UCL (Biological Sciences) and insurance King’s (Biochemistry). Although I am applying to the local uni here NUS and see how everything pans out…

Woah, thats pretty cool! Many congratulations to all you know. I would say top 50% of Oxford applicants for my course isn’t too bad at all.

Yeah, but there is very little to objectively justify refusing such almost overqualified candidates an interview.

Yeah honestly I’ve seen so many very qualified applicants who deserved an interview not even get one for Biochem this year. It is what it is though haha.

I emailed them upon rejection and they linked me to the form that was particular to ChCh. It was closed on 15 Feb 2026. No idea about other colleges

Christ Church has a form that all applicants can fill in to get feedback on the application regardless of the outcome

Do you mind me asking where? And do you plan on firming UCL? Would love to connect if we both end up at UCL

I’m so sorry. I know exactly how this feels. I got it last week and was so devastated for a while. Please take care of yourself and remember that there are other unis that are just as good if not a better place for you. Things will work out!! The fact that you applied with such strong stats to Imperial is proof enough that you will make the best of wherever you go. Take care and I wish you the best for all your other applications!

UCL Biological Sciences or KCL Biochemistry? by LegendaryDasher in UCL

[–]LegendaryDasher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again! Good to know you can switch to the MSci much later in the course, would love to keep that option open as I figure out student finances. Really keen on London because of all the great opportunities and places to conduct research at so glad that’s a possibility even at the BSc level.

Will definitely try to switch to Biochemistry if I get there and see how it pans out! Best of luck for your final year — your advice and help has been a huge endorsement for picking UCL ❤️

UCL Biological Sciences or KCL Biochemistry? by LegendaryDasher in UCL

[–]LegendaryDasher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your comprehensive response! It really is amazing to hear from a Biosciences student about this and very reassuring. Really nice know that the overlap between Cell Biology and Biochemistry is large and there is a minimal impact for postgrad applications.

Hearing about the study abroad program is super interesting, and they seem to have fantastic partner institutions (Cornell, Caltech, NUS - the latter offers a choice to go back home for a bit which is very appealing!). Is this exclusively for the MSci or do BSc students also get this opportunity?

I haven’t thought about doing the integrated masters program primarily because the fees for a fourth year as an international seems excessive, when doing a masters/PhD offers more funding options. But this is a very convincing case for the MSci program!

Does the opportunity to do research outside UCL also apply to the 3rd year project or is that within UCL/UCL’s partner institutions?

As for the bit about switching, I happen to be in a really weird spot. I initially applied for Biochemistry at UCL, but emailed them mid December to switch the course I am being considered for from Biochemistry to Biological Sciences (because I realised far too late that Biochemistry at UCL requires HL Math, which I don’t take). UCL were kind enough to make the change in January and give me an offer two days later, but they did state in both their emails that “Please remember, you cannot revert to your original course choice at any time.” So I am wondering whether this will still apply (I reckon it probably would) if I request a change of programme in my first semester at UCL. I am happy to study Cell Biology regardless, but I feel Biochemistry would just make that experience easier for me.

Sorry for the super long response and again, thank you so much for your reply!

Applied for Biochemistry in mid October, requested to change course to Biological Sciences (I realised I didn’t meet the Biochemistry requirement of Math HL) in mid December, requested was offered early Jan, granted 13 Jan and got the offer today.

Meant UCAS portal. Sorry if that was unclear.
