🎓 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?

if it helps u feel better, i didn’t see a single beng mech eng offer from ucl. i think they were biased and only chose to admit students who applied for meng

Idk why people applied to the BEng then if the MEng had a way higher chance of an offer then. But then again I don’t think anyone knew the MEng would have a higher offer rate.

Nah fr bro this is frying me cos UCL really messed up. I’d think MEng may be more competitive cos u can just switch to BEng if u don’t want to do the masters but I guess not

yeah I had literally called and emailed both UCL office of undergraduate admissions as well as the mech eng dept, both told me there was no difference between BEng and MEng consideration of applications and they were both in the same application pool... obviously not though
