Kevin 1 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Serious question here, no piss takers So the course I want to apply for it says you need a C in GCSE Maths and English which I both have, it says that on the official UCAS website which you apply through. But on the Uni's website it says you need a B in GCSE Maths, and I only have a C. So what happens here, do they take it into big consideration? You need 2 B's and 280 UCAS points to get in, I'm on my way to get a lot better than that so would GCSE Maths be a problemó? This is a serious question, no remarks saying "2nd brightest lulz".

Kitman 2207 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Reading that, I find it hard to believe you have a 'C' in English. Seriously Kevin, do you not think you're better off directing this question to the University? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin 1 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Because the applications go through the admissions tutor, so if I emailed the Uni, it would be some dolled up thick twat on the desk reading the email. Same with phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'll base your conclusions on what someone on here tells you without checking it with the Uni? Notwithstanding that they could just be bullshitting you? OK Kevin, you only need a C. On a different matter, I've been having slight chest pains. Does anyone with a medical background think I need open heart surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31225 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 To be honest (and I'm not having a dig here) I think for the course you're aiming for, having a B in Maths would be quite important, not for the Maths itself but following the logic behind the Maths.

Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 280 UCAS points is a load more than two B's, isn't it? I got 2 B's and an A and only got 180. That was back in the day like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they changed the points ratios a few years ago Anyway Kevin listen to ant, unis offer more places than they've got so if you're down on any criteria you're fucked and they'll reject you at the 11th hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If the uni says they want a B then that's what they want- the UCAS guidance is just for general uni applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I think there is some merit given on things like your personal statement. You get 5 choices, right? Why not just apply, let them know you have a C at GCSE Maths and see what response you get. I got into my University of choice with BBC, despite them asking for BBB. I guess the fact that I already had my results helped, as well as that I was applying for an English Course and had the two B's in English Language and English Literature, but then again I do like to think they liked my personal statement as well. Ok, chances are they don't bother reading through a lot of the personal statement's, but that isn't to say that it isn't worth writing something impressive. The UCAS Entry Requirements aren't always the be all and end all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin 1 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thank you for the serious answers Yep Ant it's computer science I'm looking to do, not at queens but, Jordanstown. I think I'll attempt at emailing them or even ask my careers advisor person about it when i go back to school. My bro got into his course at Jordanstown and he didn't have the correct grades. 5 Choices, I'll be applying for Northumbria, Jordanstown and maybe Queens, I'll see how things go. I don't really want to go over to Newcastle though, would prefer belfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin 1 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Good idea. Newcastle Uni has far higher grade boundaries than University of Ulster but. Northumbria uni says you just need 280 UCAS points, 5 C's at GCSE including English and Maths, which I have Might apply for there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
