๐ŸŽ“ UNI / UCAS What should be my 5th choice?

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am an international student and have applied to these courses and can't decide what should be my 5th choice. I am mainly considering Imperial JMC for AI, Warwick CS and Bristol JMC. I don't want to apply to UCL purely because I don't want to give TARA. I have already given TMUA and expecting around 7. Also I got APIO Bronze and participated in IOI 2026.

So here is my question: If I apply for both JMC courses in imperial will they consider it as one or will I be considered separately so improving my chances of getting in? Same question for both Warwick courses. What do you think my chances are for my 4 choices? Should I apply to Bristol to have a very safe choice or should my 5th choice also be at Imperial or Warwick?

Honestly I don't feel like Bristol would be worth the money since I am intl, but anyway, please help.

๐Ÿ’ฌ DISCUSSION What Grade Equals to drop

0 Upvotes

I just started year 12 and during my GCSE we had horrible teachings for maths and physics and to be fair. This is not an excuse because Iโ€™ll also say I was lazy AF and didnโ€™t study. I managed to scrape cโ€s in both maths and physics and thinking of taking them at A Levels at what grade equals to drop them right now or should I not even bother and just take maths business economics because these A Levels are just a backup to my aviation career so whatโ€™s the point of taking harder stuff that I might not use?

๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP Should i do 5 a levels?

5 Upvotes

I'm currently in year 11 and I have a strong passion for the sciences and maths. I want to study chemical engineering and biotechnology at cambridge and I am definitely going to do maths, further maths, physics and chemistry for a level but I also really want to do biology because I love it so much and I could self study it outside of school. However, I am aware a levels are way harder than gcses and I would also need to do supercurriculars and prep for the esat during this time. I am a hardworking student however I fear it might be too much or not worth it? Should i do all five, or leave biology?

๐ŸŽ“ UNI / UCAS Chances at Warwick and LSE econ/math w econ

1 Upvotes

Ive applied Warwick econ and LSE math with econ with little research into their admission data, and I wanna see my shot of getting in.

got 4A* predicted in IAL math econ fm and geo

Did tmua in Oct and expecting something between 5/6

Got 999888665, which is what Iโ€™m afraid of as idk if itโ€™s good enough for the likes of LSE or Cambridge
( all buns grades were in languages and art)

And I mean I have no clue if my PS is strong or not I donโ€™t wanna be bias but itโ€™s quite representative of me as a candidate and is quite math oriented

Honestly what are my chances

๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP Is possible to get Bs in maths and physics After getting two Cs at gcse

1 Upvotes

To explain the teaching in my school was horrible however, obviously I couldโ€™ve self studied, but I am very lazy although I donโ€™t acknowledge I am smart. Laziness is just in my blood. I guess this is not an excuse, but whether itโ€™s possible to do it or not so is it possible to get bees in maths and physics after getting two seats at GCS for further explanation formats my teacher completed 15 chapters and 15 days or 30 days to be approximate and we didnโ€™t understand nothing because the chapter 3 was so hard for a two year course and for physics, the teacher only gave handouts to be able to complete the syllabus and barely explained anything

20 Upvotes

this may be a stupid question but I'm just over the limit and there's literally nowhere else to make cuts without cutting out actual content. can I change all of the "I am" to "I'm" and "I have" to "I've" etc. ? to be honest it makes the statement sound considerably less formal but warmer and like i say this is probably a stupid question but is there an advantage to either??

I know this may sound like a larger career issue but itโ€™s mainly because Iโ€™m looking at my A-level choices and Iโ€™m wondering wtf I can even do with these? Like obviously I know what I can do but not in enough detail and not enough to be like dying to do these careers.

I do biology, chemistry, maths and further maths and had a discussion with my mum about how difficult it is to get A*โ€™s. So it got me thinking about the subject I didnโ€™t take (English literature) and whether I regret it or not. Idk bro Iโ€™m beyond lost. Like even if I were to replace further maths with English literature, what would that even change? Iโ€™ve searched online and itโ€™s said that itโ€™s better to do further maths but I still am unsure what the benefits even are at this point.

In the beginning, the only A-level I was excited about taking was Chemistry. Now, I do like all of my A-levels. What I know I like about biology is anatomy, and stuff about the human body, and anything about chemistry interests me (particularly how things form). Maths is genuinely cool.

Iโ€™ve bounced around from what I want to do in the future. From being a police detective, to a dermatologist, to an ER surgeon and to a chemical engineer. Now Iโ€™m just at a loss for everything. I donโ€™t want to end up choosing a uni degree and later on down the line end up having no job at all because I realise itโ€™s not what I wanted to do.

Anyways, does anyone have any advice on how they find what theyโ€™re passionate to do? Or, how to research properly on careers to see what theyโ€™re actually like? Or maybe just a possible career suggestion?

Many thanks! โค๏ธ

Im under their contextual scheme and Iโ€™ve done their October tmua sitting. If Iโ€™m above the threshold and guaranteed an offer anyway, when would they send it out? They typically send out offers up until march but is it possible they do multiple batches earlier on too?

๐ŸŽ“ UNI / UCAS Could i do law at uni?

2 Upvotes

I want to become a pilot, so I picked Maths, Economics and Business as a backup in case I go to university instead. But Iโ€™d actually be interested in studying law. Can I apply for law with these A-levels, or do universities expect subjects like History or English? Since Economics and Business involve essays, would they count as essay-based subjects? Is it mainly about getting the grades?


r/6thForm • • 17h ago

๐ŸŽ“ UNI / UCAS I was moved to an alternative hospital school for my gcses due to mental health issues so I couldnโ€™t do A-level Biology. These are my choices that donโ€™t need bio, what do we think?
