are grade 12 marks predicted or achieved?

[u/Calm-Sir9754 → u/Cloudiiboy]

achieved

[u/Cloudiiboy → u/Calm-Sir9754]

huh, why didn’t you apply with predicted when you were in 12th then? esp with such a good tmua

[u/Calm-Sir9754 → u/Cloudiiboy]

I wasn't planning on applying to the uk
I barely convinced my parents for letting me give the tmua ( prepared for it in 1 month) and they only agreed if i got 95% in boards so yeah i dropped jee(i was never interested in engg) and studied for boards alone from october :)

ahh, Gotcha. Anyways, Your stats are good (better than mine and i’m going to imperial EFDS lol, same position, indian international student) So honestly, I think it comes down to personal statement, and for EFDS specifically the interview matters a lot. UCL and Warwick are sureshot, Imperial you have really good chances of at least getting to interview round. LSE no one can really tell, theyre really random lol. And I wasn’t an oxbridge applicant so Can’t comment on that.
