Hello,
A while ago I got a conditional offer for glasgow university in product design engineering.
The offer stated that I need 3 more 4s on Ap exams including Calculus and Physics.
I’m going to take Calculus BC and Physics C: Mechanics along with a few other Ap exams. I am also self studying for them since they don’t have those classes at my school. I was wondering if I happened to get a 3 on one of the Ap exams, is it possible that I would still get accepted? I would find out my scores until July-ish and I was wondering if I should just move on if it’s not possible. Glasgow university is the cheapest out of all my schools and my favorite. I already got offers or accepted to other universities including Emily carr university, Strathclyde University, and Manchester metropolitan University. Then if I did move on to another school, and didn’t possibly like (but I bet I would), what does transfering look like in the UK?
Even if they don’t reject you straight away with a 3, you will most likely have to wait for A- levels results to come out for the British kids. Are you willing to wait that long? Take a look at last year’s clearing openings, too.
You can firm Glasgow and insure your likely school.
I think for Scottish unis, it’s easier to skip the first year if you can show that you were able to cover the material at that level elsewhere.
If you dn’t quite make your offer, but aren’t far off, you can contact them directly when you’ve got the results and ask if they’ll take you anyway. No guarantees, but it’s not unknown - it happens with domestic applicants all the time.
If this is your first choice, and you’ve applied through UCAS, then make this your firm acceptance and keep ne of the unconditional offers as your fallback option.
Transfers within the UK aren’t very common. It’s really on a case by case basis, but they would expect you to have covered similar material in your first year as they do.
Strathclyde is a solid university for engineering. If you don’t make Glasgow that is a very respectable insurance. Good luck.
@elguapo1: She’s looking at Design Engineering, which is art-related. That major is a joint course with the Glasgow School of Art.
Definitely an engineering discpline, though. Strathclyde does look like a good insurance choice for the OP.
Maybe the OP can clarify…but Product Design Engineering at Strathclyde undergrad requires math and physics A level.
Maybe that’s another conditional offer, but with lower grades?
