All About Overseas Education

[newkeynesian]

I think deep pocket is a far more important consideration than perfect scores. England needs more overseas students now than before.

Are you applying with predicted grades (i.e. currently in JC2), or actual grades (i.e. usually in NS or taking gap year)?

Anyone can apply with any grades, but to stand a chance at admission, you would need near perfect grades (predicted or actual) for the relevant content subjects. GP, PW, MT don't really count for most UK universities.

I think Oxbridge and other top universities would welcome those with good scores but I’ve seen them admit others who haven’t done quite as well too. In those situations, there were factors which supported the students’ admission including talents, interests and experience in non-academic fields. Much also depends on the degree which the student is pursuing with some being more hotly contested than others. So, the greater the demand, the less the supply.


In short, academic performance is key but it’s not the be all and end all.

I think submission of UCAS only require O-Level or Year 4 IP results. The JC will submit their predicted A-level grades (the students will not know the predicted grades).

Some UK Universities may follow up with further documentation required (e.g., Year-End/Prelim results) while others will just proceed with the school's predicted grades.

For parents with JC kids who have applied for UK universities (i.e. UCAS), may I know if the JCs share the predicted grades with the students? (During my time, I knew my predicted grades but that was like 25 years ago haha)

No, the students do not know their predicted grades. The JCs will send separately.

Note: students from some other countries know their predicted grades.

Thanks for the info Coast! Actually if predicted grades not strong, for guys, it may be better to wait for actual results…
