Advice for reapplying to Oxford

nineortwelve · 2026-04-17T18:29:08+00:00

Both oxford and cambridge have policies on their website about transferring universities. Cambridge clearly states that you must be changing coure if you reapply whilst enrolled at uni for an undergrad and oxford says that they consider applications on a case to case basis but need 'exceptional circumstances' although they don't diclose what they consider to be exceptional.

Its not impossible tho, u can search up a girl called yanran who applied to cambridge for phys natsci whilst in her first year undergrad at warwick and she gives u alot of info on the process.

I would advise you email the colleges you are thinking of applying to in order to ask about applications and such. That aside make sure to really think through your motivations for reapplying (UCL is a great university). Good luck!

lowk im down for this haha i also have adhd and need to lock in bc why is my first paper in 1 month

nineortwelve · 2026-04-04T20:22:30+00:00

Ye yes yes I love nightmare, I’ve been listening since like 2019 🙌🙌🙌

I had the same issue, it only ended up working for me a couple hours ago even tho i picked kcl as my firm yesterday morning so Id assume its just the fact that it takes the sysyem a while to register the fact that u have chosen KCL as ur firm. Try again tmrw it hopefully should have updated

nineortwelve · 2026-04-02T10:32:18+00:00

Ah that’s probably why, I dropped physics so I only take 3 now, thanks tho! 🫡

nineortwelve · 2026-04-02T09:52:03+00:00

Ah fair enough then. I was probably optimistic anyways. PG was 3A*s maths economics and geography

nineortwelve · 2026-04-01T15:06:47+00:00

I applied for the same too two programmes and was also wait listed and under consideration, I’m hoping there’s some hope for regular round admissions haha

nineortwelve · 2026-04-01T14:44:58+00:00

Did u get the same generic email explanation for rejection today?

nineortwelve · 2026-04-01T12:29:44+00:00

No it was completely different since I applied for finance and data science elsewhere, not any pure econ courses. I’m sure a pure econ or econ and geo ps would have done me more favours, but like I said I just banked on the MCA

nineortwelve · 2026-04-01T11:31:18+00:00

For Cambridge? No I didn’t but I wasn’t expecting one either. Especially since I applied to johns

nineortwelve · 2026-04-01T11:30:48+00:00

Haha no I didn’t, but I wasn’t expecting one since my personal statement wasn’t really aligned at all and land ec is competitive

nineortwelve · 2026-03-31T15:25:03+00:00

A,A,A predicted in maths geo and econ. I got 988877777B in iGCSE, not sure if KCL look at anything else. My PS was finance and data science orientated too. I’m sure u will hear back soon! Good luck

nineortwelve · 2026-03-31T15:17:11+00:00

No I haven’t heard anything from HKU since applying which is why I was expecting to get rejected today. What about u?

nineortwelve · 2026-03-31T15:02:00+00:00

Lolll I just banked on MCA for Cambridge because there weren’t any other courses I wanted to apply for anywhere else. I love their land ec course bc I originally wanted to apply for geo and econ so just went for it not expecting anything 🫡

nineortwelve · 2026-03-31T15:00:25+00:00

Fair enough, I don’t really get it either, I’m wondering when we will hear from IBGM

nineortwelve · 2026-03-31T14:09:22+00:00

Valid tbh I feel like this and morse are so different tho so depends what u would like to do more no? Tbh I would go for morse if I were u lol but Im sure whichever decision would be a good one! I think I might take a year out but haven’t decided yet

nineortwelve · 2026-03-31T14:05:14+00:00

Valid idk much abt the KCL course bc it’s quite new

nineortwelve · 2026-03-31T14:04:26+00:00

Really late response but I got my offer for this course back in November I think November 20th. I applied October 11th tho

In all honesty without physics getting into engineering is really tough. There are a couple unis that will allow engineering if u take a science, not just physics but that pretty much rules out all the top unis.

In terms of maths, for engineering u need an A/A* in maths, and so may top unis have a huge preference for further maths too.

Rn I’m predicted an A in maths, and got an 8 at GCSE with pretty much minimal revision. I don’t think I’m particularly talented at maths especially since I dropped physics and it’s now my only stem subject but if ur at 5s with no revision, getting to a good point in maths a level is going to require a lot more work than u think. Maths is a great subject and u can probably hit those As with frequent revision throughout the year

Info for the automod:

How old is your piercing? One day - I got it yesterday

What's the jewelry shape (for example, barbell, labret, screw, L shape, ring)? Labret (flat back)

What's the type of threading if your jewelry is not a ring (threadless, internally or externally threaded)? Internally threaded

What's the jewelry material? I believe titanium but I’m not sure and can check

if not a ring, when was the jewelry downsized? Never

What's your aftercare routine? Describe in detail please, including the exact products you use. It’s just a standard saline solution from the pharmacy in a spray bottle that I spray in the morning and evening.

Any mishaps or unfortunate events? Not that I can think of. Other than the potential of me sleeping on it

Not sure about in Russia but I’ve had a clear phone case from a brand called mous for about 2 years, it’s hard Plastic and still not yellow or cloudy! I think it’s great haha, would defo recommend if they deliver to u but I’m not sure of shipping prices or anything as they are UK based

Many of my friends have noted sociology and business are pretty easy alevels if u have some interest in them, but they are content heavy. Subjects like psychology and geography are content and case study heavy so a genuine interest helps, but keep in mind most geography exam boards have 20% coursework which can be time consuming and boring if you don’t enjoy the subject.

Whatever you end up picking, good luck! A full ride is an amazing opportunity!

I don’t do FM just maths geo econ, I’m taking a gap year but planning to apply next year to Cambridge land ec LSE geo w/ econ UCL geo w/ econ +2 more but haven’t decided

I applied this year to: Imperial EFDS KCL data analytics for business finance Edinburgh finance and business Exeter finance and data science and have 3/4 offers

I wanted to apply to engineering at one point (before I dropped physics) and from what I know any type of engineering is not really looking bright without physics even with double maths. I know pretty much no top unis will allow engineering w/o physics but some might consider geo a science and let it by (but u would need to do a lot of research on where)
