Hi, i currently was declined a place at UCL. I wanted to do economics there. I have excellent grades and a good statement ( thats what teachers at the school have been telling me at least).
I got 4 A's in AS (Maths,Russian,Computing,Economics)
I already have 2 A2 a's in russian and maths (took them a year early)
and i am predicted A's for my A2 subjects - Economics, Computing and Further Maths.
Is it normal to get a decline from UCL so early? I think my grades are quite good so the only thing that could have flawed my application should've been the statement. Does it really have such a high value?
Also should i give up if i am getting rejected by UCL, but am awaiting decisions by LSE and Oxford???
