Leen Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Just something I noticed. When you go to UCAS and look at the conversion of IB grades to UCAS tariff points, they're actually not that bad. Each university has an entry requirement of UCAS tariff points. I am just curious, does anyone know if the universities look at the UCAS tariff points and then look at your IB grade? On University sites the IB grades tend to be higher than the IB grades are converted to UCAS tariff points. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do tell aggregate UCAS tariff points they have for new students, though. I can't really find a source for it right now, but look it up on for example Oxbridge websites, and you'll find out .

Aquarius Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Only one in the Top 20 Overall is [i][b]Loughborough University[/b][/i] gives offer in Tariff points. Also the average points of Oxbridge successful applicants are always about [i][b]560 [/b][/i]and above. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leen Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Ah I see, so top universities don't really look at UCAS tariff points, but what about unis that are good but not necessarily as highly rated as Oxford, like Leeds, and so on?
