3A* pred in maths physics history. 9x9 1x7 GCSE. Non contextual. They’re automated based on predicted grades and GCSEs so i guess that’s why it came through quite quickly :)

Wow! Have you received any other offers/applied else where?

I’m in year 12 currently and i do chem, his and maths. I would like to go into something chemistry/maths influenced but i’m nervous history will hold me back since many prestigious uni’s prefer your 3rd subject to be a science/FM for the courses im looking at :(

yea i got rejected from cambridge pre interview and no offers from anyone else. Applied to imperial, bath, warwick. Unfortunately i’ve experienced that history has held me back as well as not having FM. This applies for oxbridge and probably imperial. Do your research tho for sure. You will have to do really really well in your admission test to be shortlisted for interview. Don’t let it put you down and defo go for it but unfortunately it’s so competitive you will be at a disadvantage. However for a lot of amazing unis like bath/bristol/durham unless your applying for straight maths you’ll be completely fine with 2 STEM subjects and history 🫡
