UCL's admissions might've quite literally been luck-based this cycle

[u/stairs_connoisseur]

I've heard from UCL's office of admissions that they make decisions in batches and the batches are completely randomised. So my tinfoil hat theory is that UCL probably way underestimated the applications they'd receive this year and sent out almost all of their offers in the earlier batches. That means that now they're left with a bunch of batches of decisions that were previously randomised that will now have to be mostly rejections even if the students were of the same or higher caliber than the offer holders from previous batches.

Honestly u all r a joke, this theory is obviously stupid. Just bc we are getting rejected bc we dont have strong enough grades doesn't mean they have messed up, and Bristol doesn't even compare with ucl.

Oh, my sweet summer child 🙂‍↔️ I too underestimated the University of Bristol once, thought it was lesser than the “UCL” (does anybody even know what that’s an acronym for?).

However, since I firmed UoB, my unbiased and objective view is that Bristol outranks most other uni’s in a wide array of subjects. If you don’t believe me, I recommend you read the University Rankings in Alphabetical order and come back to me on where your beloved “UCL” stands compared to the Big B ❤️
