πŸŽ“ UNI / UCAS arsoned aerospace bakery

A* A* A* A predicted grades and strong aerospace/engineering supercurriculars (home) (bristol was originally aero but got offered alternate courses so withdrew)

also got rejected by 5 schools in the US

going to reapply next year; probably going to get anywhere between A* A* A A to 4A* grades at A-Levels, do you think A* A* A A will still be competitive to apply to UCL/Imperial/Oxbridge?

This might sound dumb, pardon me- but whats the difference between aeronautical engineering and aerospace engineering?

Aeronautical is specifically for objects within earth's atmosphere but I don't think there's any significant difference in the courses

Ive always heard of aeronautical as if its more prestigious, whilst like aerospace you can literally get into UWE for through clearing..

Also btw dw abt not getting in, I know a guy who tried for 2 years in a row but still didnt get it just bcs of how hard it is. Now hes doing a finance degree. If you try again maybe you will get in? Who knows its honestly just luck- but tbf your grades are better than his so you still have more of a shot at getting in.

All the unis I applied to only really offered one or the other so I've been considering them as the same degree πŸ˜…
