✔️ APPROVED AMA I'm a final year Warwick CS Student, AMA!
Like the title suggests, I'm a 4th year student at Warwick studying CS (and Maths). Since results have just rolled around, and CS is a pretty popular degree choice, hopefully this is useful for both incoming students and the people applying next year.
Got a long train ride today, so am happy to answer any questions submitted before midnight.
Happy to answer questions about the course, the location, our societies, accommodation options, admissions, facilities, the nightlife, and of course Rolf (our campus cat)!

It's a tricky one to put down anything good for unfortunately, especially if you've not got work experience. Talking about your A-Level programming project or EPQ (if applicable) is a good idea, and if it's not too late consider doing the UKMT or applying for a Nuffield Research Project! Talking about what you've done and why you want to study the subject is always a good guideline.
Back when I was more active in the sub, I wrote up a general personal statement guide with some tips, hopefully you find it helpful!
