@christygb Thanks! It’s for law (LLB) at either school
Still no word from St. Andrews for us(comp sci). It’s her last one. We are leaving on March 23rd to revisit Edinburgh and Glasgow. My D and I will make a side trip to St A if she gets and offer from them between now and then.
@whalsdn1201 Then did you apply with only AP and SAT scores? Can you tell me what you got? Id be most thankful
@whalsdn1201 can you tell me what you applied with and your scores if you don’t mind?
@FLtoPton I applied with IB and three SAT2 subjects (Bio,Chem, and Math). I was predicted a 45 for IB and i got an offer for 38 from UCL.
My kids’ teachers knocked all her predicted IB grades down by 1 because they wanted to be cautious. They were worried about being too high. I don’t know what they thought would happen if they were too high. :rolleyes:
@VickiSoCal I think universities don’t take too much from predicted grades, given that they can vary so much from school to school. They’ll focus much more on what students have already achieved, and only worry if your predictions are way way below what is needed
Our teachers said they had never been asked to do this before. Out of Edinburgh, York, Bath, At. A and Durham, only Bath asked for predicted grades.
UK schools have a huge problem with predicted IB, let alone US schools, so St As will be used to the fact vs the fiction of predictions. If your school has never had to do predictions, then they are best to be very cautious.
When we submitted the UCAS her counselor left predicted scores blank. 4 universities made decisions. Bath came back and asked for predicted scores, none of the other 4 saw them, they went straight to Bath.
Still nothing from Bath.
Bath said no. I suspect the lowball IB predictions killed it.
That’s too bad Vicki, Bath is a little gem of a school. I must admit if you have unconditionals to St A’s and Durham why would Bath need IB predictions since entry standards are the same or higher to the other 2. I suspect it more likely they already had enough international acceptances.
Yeah, although it seems hard to believe a load of Chem majors applied all the way back in October.
Her counselor downgraded all of her teachers’ predictions by one point before sending them to Bath.
York modified their offer to something she can actually attain as opposed to requiring a higher score on a test she already took! Still leaning towards St. Andrews if it is going to be UK.
I think I might just withdraw my application from UCL. Tired of the waiting.
@ammielove UCL is traditionally the last on giving out offers, even for us UK students, some of my friends are still waiting for a reply.
I already have 1st and 2nd choice so I might as well withdraw
But I’m curious to know if I would’ve got in
imperial is taking so long to reply as well…
