imp / ucl - extra curriculars

[kobe123]

hey i was just wondering
does ucl or imperial look at extra curriculars more positively? say someones got average grades lol at a/s however got amazing extra curriculars you hear stories of occasions when a univeristy will still call a student for an interview based solely on non-academic reasons....or do u have no chance without 4a's at a/s

any sports, extra curriculars some unis like in particular?

i'd say you'd definitely need to meet the academic criteria..they can't just let you in on extra cirricular activities

of course, these activities, a good reference, work experience will all help but you'll still need to meet (and i stress MEET, not go way above the set criteria and get 10 As at A-Level) the academic criteria.

in regards to AS - you dont even need to declare these. i didn't and had no problems.

lol obviously you have to meet the academic requirements, lol i got 7a*'s 4a's at gcse however im just wondering which uni will give an advantage to the boy who se playing cricket for lancashire in comparison to the boy who got the chemistry award at school

[itz_ant]

I reckon imperial would prefer the boy who got the chem award.
im my opinion, ucl would favour the cricket player.

ucl's name sounds silly. you can't be a university AND a college. therefore, apply to imperial

... ironically though, the colleges of London are autonomous universities!
