International Applications international student-should i submit my application early?

2 Upvotes

indian

hey guys, so my predicteds do meet the requirements but i just wanted to wait for the tmua to get an idea of where to apply. i heard that international students should specifically apply early, is that true?

stats- 10th, 94. 12th, 90+predicted

course- cs

where im planning to apply- imperial (all depends on my tmua), warwick (confused between cs/discrete math), ucl (again, depends on tara), manchester and birmingham/edinburgh (as safeties)

i also feel like im aiming too high..

International Applications Have any Quebecer applied?

2 Upvotes

Very niche question, but are there any Quebecers here? I have completed my Diplôme D’études Collégiales and am applying to study in London. It would be nice to have a little support group, especially as our grading system is so different than the other Canadian provinces and, of course, the UK. Need a little help getting to know what to expect!

Thanks

Oxbridge Am I a competitive applicant for Cambridge Law?

2 Upvotes

I've applied to Cambridge, however this decision has been more of a last minute thing rather than a long term goal. In year 12 I kind of put off the idea over and over cus I thought it would be unrealistic for me. But I managed to convince myself earlier this year that I was gonna apply.

My GCSES were: 777888899
My predicted A-levels are A*A*A*

As well as an A in EPQ (41/50) was lowkey sad about this because I know I could've done better.

I think my LNAT went pretty good but Im unsure.

I'm worried I do not have significant super curriculars in my personal statement. My teachers have reassured me that I have developed all of my ideas critically enough, but I'm just worried I don't have enough to be as competitive as others.

Could anyone let me know whether I actually have a good chance at an offer here?

Law Applications should I apply to Warwick for uni?

1 Upvotes

I am struggling to decide whether I should even bother applying to the university of Warwick. I want to apply for law undergraduate but I am unsure if my GCSE grades will cause my application to most likely be rejected. I am predicted A*AA in my A-levels but got 88766655 in my GCSE‘s. The Eng Lang requirements are a 6, I received an 8 and maths is a 4, I got a 5. So I guess my issue is my overall GCSE profile. Is it good enough? will my application even be taken seriously? Is it worth applying or should I look elsewhere? really stressed about this as Warwick is my dream uni, please lmk!

International Applications Forced to apply to a uni I know ill get rejected to :(

7 Upvotes

My family really wanted me to apply to leicester for med but I only got 81/96 points compared to the 88 I apparently need for an international. I have a british passport and put a uk address as my permenant one on UCAS but I have been living abroad for more than 3 years. I knew I would be considered intl but my dad was convinced they would HAVE to consider me home cuz of my passport and that I would be considered home from the interview process but intl for fees.

I literally couldnt argue with him so I applied but it just sucks that I wasted an application, even today my dad told me I'll be home but ugh this is just so annoying. I just rlly need to rant to someone

Personal Statements Personal Statement

6 Upvotes

The absolute massive majority of my personal statement was entirely written by me, through multiple proof readings by actual people and generally writing it suited towards my personal experiences.

However earlier I did use AI (not massive tons or even a sizeable chunk, few sentences) which I did end up splicing (as it looked unnecesssary) or heavily rewriting more. To clarify, when AI generated those ideas and put it in a sentence, I did not copy and paste the sentence or even just paraphrased it and called it a day. Instead I adapted it to my personal experience and rewrote/expanded on it.

Which I doubled down massively on.

Idk if I'm just stressing far too much but looking through the personal statement there is only one AI-like sentence/sentence I did use that feels close to resembling an AI idea.

I did NOT literally generate a PS and be like "yup lets re-edit it and boom", I went through multiple drafts and re-edit lots of things.

Had it proof read and I got told it was good.

Is it over?

International Applications Why is tuition so expensive for international students?

0 Upvotes

It's always been bizarre to me that the tuition for an international student is 10x the one of a domestic. Why is it that way? Aren't they losing talent to the US in which top unis have significant financial aid?
