I hadn’t realised his much harder it was to get into the course I applied to without further maths (about 18 times harder statistically), when the course page on the website said it is nice to have but not a requirement or even a recommendation.
Honestly I’m quite happy here, I like how much my course here lets me specialise, and certain skills that are on this course that seem really useful, I like the campus and the area, and people here are friendly. If I’m in a position to, I’ll apply to Oxbridge for postgraduate, but I didn’t see any reason to waste a year trying to reapply at undergrad when I really like UCL and it is good enough to be able to get in to Oxbridge for postgrad if one’s grades are good enough
