Do you know how many people UCL admits into their MSc programme per year?

And what is the role of the GRE in the admission process ? I know it is not a requirement for the MSc programme but do you think that it is, nevertheless, considered as an important factor when making the decisions.

I was thinking of sending my scores automatically to UCL after I have taken the GRE but is it possibly an unnecessary risk to take? I mean that could I still be a competitive applicant if I don't send my scores at all (in case I fail miserably or something like that)?

Argh, I'm afraid that I have already decreased my chances of admission after sending my TOEFL scores automatically to UCL. I don't know my scores yet but I'm quite sure that I sucked at least in the speaking section.

A friend of mine have been accepted to the Msc program without even taking the GRE. So I suppose that it is not an important factor in the admission decision.

Regarding the number of admits I really do not have a clue, but the number of students is supposed to be between 50 and 70 each year.

Was your friend an international applicant?

Chopov - "Have you already received the offer letter? Math course is supposed to start on 22nd of September..."

Yeah I have received the offer letter, got it in March. Pretty excited about the course. Haven't heard anything about start dates but I presume from looking at the website that it would be on the 22nd of September this year - last year it was the 24th. Have you or anyone else received any correspondence from them?
