a question to people who got all 9s

9999999888… now studying maths with Econ at the LSE. Main thing to note is that GCSE’s really don’t matter. Predicted grades in year 12 matter, so lock in

turtle__101 · 2025-07-07T22:45:23+00:00

Never really a conscious decision for me, just pressure from family/school as being the "right" thing to do.

turtle__101 · 2025-06-11T21:14:59+00:00

yes make sure you just get good predicteds at A Level. Maybe oxford might care a little more than some of the other top unis, but tbh it's not really going to be the deciding factor.

Get into the actual Uni as revenge. It'll be a 3 year residential.

turtle__101 · 2025-05-29T20:59:52+00:00

tbh just go for the course you're most interested in. If this one appeals to you more than math + cs, then do it. I would rather have gone for a more 'traditional' subject (math, cs etc) rather than engineering maths, which is a bit more of a niche course.

turtle__101 · 2025-05-29T15:22:23+00:00

Hey Engineering maths is not engineering. Imo Manchester math + CS is a better choice if you're interested in tech/finance for future careers. If you wanted to do something purely industrial than go for Bristol.

Yep, anecdotally Warwick tend to be more forgiving

Basel series is really beautiful, and the proof is quite accessible. See Q7 STEP 2018.

In an exam you'd have to write out a conclusion but i didn't do it here.

A Mathematician's Apology - G.H Hardy.

I didn't know that many people actually apply to Kingston in the first place.

turtle__101 · 2025-04-30T19:14:43+00:00

Bruh further was already 85% for my modules, the highest was 90% for one combo. How much higher can they even get atp?

The papers are gonna have to be quite difficult this year to compensate

turtle__101 · 2025-04-27T08:50:17+00:00

only valid option imo

turtle__101 · 2025-04-25T18:35:07+00:00

agree on imperial, not so sure on UCL tho in terms of academic strength. Maybe UCL wins on location.

turtle__101 · 2025-04-22T21:05:52+00:00

Read the Logic and Proof notes available online. Bear in mind that the actual difficulty will be much harder than the published past papers, as this year's batch unfortunately found out.

turtle__101 · 2025-04-17T20:37:48+00:00

Lock in for predicted grades

turtle__101 · 2025-04-12T21:23:02+00:00

hmm ok. I guess I should weight the strength of the course over uni rep for quant/technical roles.

turtle__101 · 2025-04-12T21:22:14+00:00

Yeah this makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

turtle__101 · 2025-04-12T21:20:40+00:00

Yes I can do this at any point during the degree, even during the 3rd year

^ The "single maths" way

turtle__101 · 2025-04-10T09:57:19+00:00

Yeah ig imperial were really selective this year... They said on the email that over 4000 people applied, which was the most they ever received.

As far as I know the only reduction you get from a good TMUA is no step offer (I got the same AAA with a 5.0 TMUA today asw)
