Details are in my first post.I think you can achieve conditional offer considering your predicted is high. Both of them are applying engineering. I am surprised for my rejected friend because he ranks in India for A Levels Physics and Chemistry. So you got your firm choice, congrats once again.

flinquinnster Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Sent Application:Late September 2013Course:Law (M100)Universities and offers:Queens' College, Cambridge: Conditional Offer (7, 7, 6 at HL and 41 total)London School of Economics: Conditional Offer (7, 6, 6 at HL and 38 total)University College London: Unconditional Offer (Despite my fairly mediocre performance in LNAT!)King's College London: Rejected (Probably because of LNAT!)Since I'm finished with the IB and have gotten all my results, I know that I've definitely exceeded the conditions of the 2 conditional offers I've gotten so far! I'd really love to go to Cambridge (unless I get US offers and suddenly decide I'd rather go there instead), so hopefully everything will work out and I'll be starting there after an extended post-IB break. Given that it's incredibly difficult to get in, I feel very lucky to have gotten an offer when other hyper-talented people haven't. And @ctrls, perhaps I may see you there too.

Fiz Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Here it is.Obtain at least 37 points in International Baccalaureate. A grade 6 for Mathematics and Physics at higher level is required. A score of 35 points with 6 in Mathematics and Physics at higher level would allow access to the BEng. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
