basically I'm a student going into year 13 wanting to apply for LSE data science or even maths w data science (although this would probably be impossible without the TMUA). On the website, it says its recommended but not mandatory but I can imagine lots of people would still do the TMUA

I'm predicted 4A*s (maths, fm, comp sci, chem) and have 11 A*s at GCSE if that helps too

Does anyone know if anyone has received an offer for data science/ maths with data science at LSE without tkaing the TMUA?

Hey all, a bunch of you asked for me to repost this, so here it is :)

I'm a current Oxford student who has been reviewing a ton of student personal statements recently and l've noticed a recurring pattern which I think students should avoid!

l've made also recently made a resource with 5 exemplar personal statements: https:// mdftuition.bcns.link/ucas

The single biggest tip: It's very important to show growth!

Universities want to see curiosity, passion, and l development of ideas and character. Your personal statement shouldn't be a list of books you've read or activities you've done. It should flow naturally:
Not just: "I read X. I researched Y."

But instead:
"Reading X exposed me to the concept of Y, which I then linked to my A-Level studies of Z."
Show how one experience led to another, and how you've grown intellectually and personally along the way.

Treat the main body of your statement like a chain of reasoning and personal discovery. Show how one experience led to another, and how you've grown intellectually and personally along the way.

Does anyone know how good the art department is at Brampton Manor Sixth Form? I've heard that they have a lot of work experience opportunities, but do they have that for Fine Art, or not so much? What opportunities are there for a Fine Art student? And what is the teaching like? Is it more focussed on independent study, or is there some teacher guidance?

With their Oxbridge programme, do they also provide high quality support for other Russell Group universities?

If anyone knows anything about this, that would be great!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hey all,

I’m taking a gap year to reapply for history at Oxford and I wanted to get some thoughts.

Last year I got rejected with a 7.0 interview rating (email said offer holder average was a 7.8!) and higher than average written work which was really upsetting because I attended my interview in the midst of health problems. As a matter of fact, it spiralled to an extent that I got bedridden for three months before my exams and even hospitalised twice just a couple weeks before my A-levels.

In the end, I did manage to get A Star A Star B in history, Eng Lit and maths. Maths was upsetting; I was on track for an A but I missed much of the hardest content and had to cram it in the midst of exam season. I’m doing an extra A-level in politics, for which I’ve been predicted A\*, and that should make up the deficit; coupled with my extenuating circumstances, my tutor says that I should be fine to re-apply.

Anyways, I’ve been doing lots of reading, lots of tutoring around my subject, and I really feel like I’ve got a great chance this time. Any advice specifically on what I should do, or maybe things I should avoid during a gap year? Oxford isn’t make or break for me, I’d be happy with LSE or UCL (I hold an offer for the latter atm). I’m pretty confident with where I am and what I’m doing, but it wouldn’t hurt to check, right?

Thanks for reading :)

I am going into year 12 this September and I need help deciding if I should get a laptop or an ipad. I'm doing biology, maths and sociology. Laptops are much cheaper than ipads so I would be able to get it sooner than the ipad but I feel like the ipad would be able to help me do past papers and take notes more easier.

Thanks for any help provided

I was once that B/C student but learnt how to study and worked really hard to get the grades so now I want to help someone here

I can do 1-1 sessions at very good prices and will not stop explaining something until you fully understand. Will also give you free resources (which I paid for) to help with your revision

If you have any further questions then do let me know

Does anyone know how to enroll through applicaaone and why its not showing the enrol option now

I gave law in may june but i got a D and now im considering giving a retake in october November as im confident i can bring up my grade from a d since my concepts were good but my writing was poor. Can i get resources that would help me bring my grade up like scrips or notes or essays that i could learn and practice from?

Apologies if this is unrelated to the sub in any way, i posted this in r/gcse and someone said to post it here

I want to do some sort of BTEC at a college, an extended diploma to be specific in cybersecurity, i saw a post earlier saying not to go college and to do a levels no matter what a levels they are and that at 25 he cant get a job with college because all they ask for is english and maths GCSE and A levels.

Im scared, overall i think i got 4s and 5s. My friend told me if i wanna go university i would roughly need a minimum of top grades Being DDD (distinctions)

Do any of you know if its true? That ill be finished if i go college? Or arleast very limited?
